Football game tonight.

A bit late signing in tonight as we were out and then I forgot to do the blog. I was looking through some quilt magazines and we all know how absorbing that is.  I get kind of lost in the process.
Richard arrived this morning around 11:00 from Calgary. We had a good visit . He is suffering from the fractures that he had in his vertebrae and his leg is losing muscle and often collapses on him. He has an appointment with a neurologist in Calgary when he gets back there. He thinks he will neeed to have the vertebrae fused. He looks so uncomfortable. I pray that the doctors can do something for him.
He was a bit tired from the drive which is about 12 hours though they did stop  in Kamloops last night and did the short drive about 3-4 hours from there. He lay down on the couch and had a nap. I did not sleep well last night so I too had a short nap.  Rick's friend Chris came by to pick him up and they drove out to Horseshoe Bay where Rick's boat is.  They were planning to go to the bar there to watch the football game between Calgary and BC Lions.
We are watching it too. The Lions are winning at the moment, 14 -6 in the second quarter. The centre for the Lions is out of the play at the moment, he has an injury.

This is a pretty design by Janet Wickell of About.com. The title says it is a spring quilt and the colours convey that season but just change the colours and you have whatever season you want. Quilting is good that way LOL.
About.com has so many blocks and quilts that they put up on the site.  Everyday there is something new going on. There are even puzzles and contests. You can take a block challenge that tests your knowledge of the names of quilt blocks. Good stuff.

Little Jacob's Ladder block, this is a pretty block because of the gorgeous colours.
 
Haha this one made me laugh LOL!!
 
 Love is beautiful even among differing species.
And again love is beautiful  between members of one species. Lisa and Adam share a moment.
 
I love this photo of a lone buffalo in a lush field of grass pictured against the Rocky Mountains. It is a picture that tells a story. He strayed away from the herd and now has this whole field to himself LOL.
 
I think he is looking at you and thinking I'll get that one if he comes any closer.
Sunset somewhere but wherever it is glorious.
That's about all for now folks.
Have a great evening.
Buenos Tardes.
