My wife and I were sitting at a table at her high school reunion, and she
great quilt with charm squares
kept staring at a drunken man swigging his drink as he sat alone at a nearby table.
I asked her, "Do you know him?"
"Yes", she sighed,
"He's my old boyfriend.... I understand he took to drinking right after we
split up those many years ago, and I hear he hasn't been sober since."
"My God!" I said, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?"
And then the fight started...
But I promised you a mention of Jane Goodall who lived her life among the chimpanzees of the Gombe Stream Chimpanzee Reserve studying and living with the chimpanzees. She was with this particular family through out the whole life of some members of that group-she was like a beloved grandmother who loved them , talked to them, helped them when in need, hugged and cuddled them through sickness and health. Jane encouraged study and research of primates that still goes on today. I did not know that chimpanzees suffer from many of the same diseases as we do, for instance polio. Many mammals are subject to our diseases as pet owners already know. Jane married and she and her new husband came back to the reserve to continue the work. She gave birth to a son who lived his early days among the chimpanzees. Jane Goodall lived a full life of service and devotion to her chosen family.
My work for today was during a short period after Ray and I came back from the doctor and then the pharmacist and went to pick up our vacuum for the repairman.
.At the guild the other night I picked up a package of pre cut pieces to make a block for the 124 club which is the arm of the guild that makes quilts out of the blocks we sew.I thought there was just one block to do but to my surprise there were four LOL. All I managed to do was draw the lines on the diagonals of 16 squares and of course pin them so they would not move on me. That was it for the day.
Hmm I'm having a bit of trouble adding the photo.
Earlier in the day I spent a lot of time looking for my memory stick, I called Tom's and Kathy but neither of them had found it. After checking the bag, pockets,purse,etc. I noticed that part of the pieces I cut and had put in a bag were under something on my sewing table and lo and behold there it was.
So despite the fact that I got little done I did spend the day being busy and I did knit while watching The Mentalist :>)
Have a good night . I will!!
