A visit with Prince Charles

Some very exciting news from Adam my eldest son and Lisa his wife in Scotland.  They had a conversation with Prince Charles.

Prince Charles passing by , that is Adam on the left of the photo, The Prince stopped and spoke with him. I love the plaid of Prince Charles's kilt. It is very attractive.

: To the lady next to us in passing says, "Oh, a ruination of the camera there I see". A: "Hello your Highness" HRH: Breezes past her and offers his hand to Adam.
A: While shaking hands, "Congratulations on becoming a grandfather."
HRH: Beaming, says, "Oh, you heard the news, have you?" He offered his hand to me. L: "Pleased to meet you, sir" as we shook hands. HRH: "Are you here visiting?" A: "Yes." HRH: "Where are you from?" A: (The ever loyal subject to the crown) "Canada." L: I guess I was startled by Adam's answer because I turned and looked at Adam quickly. HRH: Raises an eyebrow and looks at me quizzically and then turns back to Adam and says, "Where in Canada?" (I guess he didn't think I sounded Canadian...) A: "Vancouver." HRH: "A lovely part of the world, but it's a long flight." A: "My people are from here as are yours." HRH: "Here, this far north?" A: "No, not in this area, but from Scotland." HRH: "Have you been here before?" A: "Yes, but not this far north." HRH: Turning to me, asks, "How long are you here for? L: "A month". HRH: "Enjoy the rest of your trip." It would be a mundane conversation if it hadn't been with the heir to the throne, The Future King of England. I'm still grinning like an idiot.... — with Adam McBride

Our excitement at Adam's visit with Prince Charles has started to abate. It was a very nice encounter for him and Lisa. 

As for mom and dad we did almost nothing today except for laundry and I made chili for dinner. It was tasty but Ray said not quite hot enough. I made it to my taste but he likes it hotter that I do. I guess he could add those chili flakes to his bowl of chili. One thing is you can add to a dish but you cannot take anything away.

 I never thought to add shredded cheese to my chili. I do add sour cream though and that is nice.

I should go into the kitchen and get the chili ready for the fridge. 
Done!
Now I am eating radishes, my treat. Well I do like ice cream too LOL.

Love comes in all shapes and sizes. This is such a picture of love and caring, at least to me. But then I am a sucker for sentimentality.

This quilt is made from commercially cut 2 1/2 strips.  They go together so well. I think that it takes 2 jelly roll packages to make it.

Here is another of those lovely hexagons, I like this orange one with sunflowers in the centre. 

I have done a number of stitcheries. This is one of them. It is a cross stitch. It is a wedding stitchery . You can see the double wedding ring quilt 

 in the background.

That is all for tonight.

Have a lovely evening.

Good night from the Big Apple. LOL.
