Another bad day for Ray and Nan. Ray is still sick and could not even get up off his chair today. I was not as bad as him but still didn't feel like doing much of anything.
I had an accident with my noodles and spilled the hot, hot noodles and juice over my side and behind. It was so painful, I thought it wouldn't go away. Then I forgot about it all and the pain was gone. Funny that. I find that burns don't stay with me long. I guess it wasn't that bad though it felt  like it at that moment.

Ray was in the throes of vertigo all day and could not stand at all. He didn't eat much yesterday and again today. I had to abuse him a bit and make him eat. LOL. I made him a really good sandwich and he managed to get it down.

So tomorrow should be a better day. I plan to go to my sewing groups and Pat will pick me up. It has been three weeks since I went so I am looking forward to seeing my quilting friends.


 
 
I probably put this picture up before but it seemed appropriate  right now.

While I sat here today  I finished another knitted dishcloth, this one is red and it knits up very pretty.
 
 
Remember when I mentioned that I had won my last on line Bingo game for fat quarters? Well they arrived today. The FQs are of reptiles, not my favourite type of fabric. I am thinkog of offering them to some quilting friends. I know I won;t use them. Salamander , .
Newts, Frogs etc. I might use the frogs . I'll take another look LOL
Maybe I should rearrange them a bit and take them out of the plastic bags. Later....
 
So I am having trouble taking my photos off the camera, not off the card but the actual in camera action. I am doing the same thing I always do, I think LOL. I put the cord into the right slots , you can't put them in the wrong way.  Ther are only two on the camera anyway but on is of Sam and I would like to download that one.
 
Great winter quilts here so get started on one now while you have the time. Not free though but reasonable.
 


 
Pretty isn't he.
 
This is another basket, the Cake Basket. It is a block I made early on in my quilting , I think it was for a guild block. We used to ask the guild members to make a block that was in the newletter and we would either make a uqilt from them if there were enough blocks made or raffle them of to members.
