quilting and other things

What a very full day, It is now 11:35 PM and we just got home but it was all fun.
After we did our grocery shopping and put it all in the cupboards I started quilting on the baby quilt I brought home from Community Quilts on Tuesday. It is for a little girl as it is all pink and pretty. Part of the quilting I hope to be free motion but I did almost all the straight lines before I had to stop, eyes, shoulders and back said " time to quit". That was fine since we were on the way out to son Peter's for his birthday barbecue. We picked up a bottle of Australian white wine called Oyster Bay for the party. We saw some old friends of Judith and Peter's whom we hadn't seen for some time so that was very nice. The barbecue was very good, hamburgers, chicken and Italian sausage as well as BBQed pepperoni which is wonderful. There was salad, potatoes, corn on the cob, dessert and birthday cake. The conversation was lively and the two little babies took centre stage. They are the sons of Judith's son and daughter. It is so lovely to see such happy families. I took a couple of photos of the babies and of Peter for his birthday photo. I'll download them tomorrow :>))
We left at a reasonable hour and decided to take in the casino on the way home. I had a good night , won several hundred dollars and gave some to Ray as he was losing.
We are both very tired now so I will sign off. It was a great day....
Have a lovely night folks.
