making starch

I got this from another list . You can make your own starch/sizing  for stiffening blocks so as to make sewing the blocks more accurate.

Both of these sites carry the Wicked Easy Quilt pattern -  Free.
My day has been tiring for some reason . Well I know the reason as I asked the nurse this morning . Apparently being on antibiotics for so long does make one tired. Another thing it does is affects the taste buds but not necessarily the appetite LOL. But fortunately the time is fast approaching when it will be over. I see the specialist on Tuesday and I come off  this apparatus on June 29th. 
We went to London Drugs for additional medications. I needed some Florastor. It works keeping the intestines healthy but boy is it expensive, over 50 Dollars for a small bottle. But worth it as it works .
We had a bite to eat at McDonald's, a small salad for me and Ray had McNuggets. He gave me one of his chicken pieces.  He is so kind. Then he came home and got the housework and washing finished. 
When we got home I had a long nap. It takes me a long time to wake up .Some people jump out of bed but I crawl out and take a long time to start my day.LOL.
I did take a bit of time to read my library book. It is called The Hanging Tree, not a particularly hot  page turner/burner but not that bad either. There is a lot of hockey in the content of the story as the hero was once a goal tender for the town team. Still it has elements of  bad character and sleaziness on the part of the anti hero. Not all that bad as I am still reading it. :)
Parade days today. The fire department was out with their antique fire trucks on show. Some were being pulled by teams of 6 horses . It was so lovely even on TV.


Then there was a Hands Across the Border parade of the Boy and Girl Scouts celebrating the long peace between our two countries. The border was closed for 4 hours while the event took place.

I hope the evening is good for everybody, it is starting to cool down a bit here.
Guten Abend.
