Unusual bag but very attractive. I wonder how it stands up like that. It must be that the bottom is squared up with something hard inside. Once I saw a bag that used a cut piece of an old cutting board as the bottom of the bag.

Flock of Geese. Interesting use of colour to make this flock obvious to the naked eye..

stitch the edges of the "lattice" work down to keep them from separating away from the pie...just a tip...

Blueberry pie pot holders are right some cute as they say in Nova Scotia and where we picked wild blueberries for pies in 1960.

I had an appointment with the Chiropractor this morning at 11:30. As we were just getting ready to leave Dr. Rai called to see where we were. The appointment was at 11:00. Hmmm. So he said he could take me at 2:00 so we settled for that. My back was way out of line and there were some big noises as the ribs went back into place where they belonged. My neck is quite sore tonight.

But before 2:00 we went up to the mall for our exercise, did ot buy anything except lunch. I had WonTon noodle soup which I really like. I ordered the small size which advertised 5 Won Ton. As I ate I found only 3 WonTon even though I searched around under the noodles. So I went to the counter and told them. At first they pretended they did not understand me but I persisted and she finally slammed some money onto the counter. Half she said. Not quite half but I was not going to argue any more. And she did not want me to make any fuss as there were people around. Life can be funny!!

After the appointment with the chiropractor we went to the fruit and vegetable store for tomatoes and lettuce. I wanted to go to the grocery store but Ray was tired and we came home. Tomorrow is another day.

All I did when I got home was e mail and Facebook and Talked for a very short time with RIck. I had woken him up from a nap so he was not good to talk.

Adam called from Louisiana to say they got home all right yesterday. All is well. I forgot to take a picture of him and Lisa, I seem to be too forgetful these days.

No sewing today, darn, I wanted to sew a line around the edge of my table topper to keep all three layers together when I add the binding. I hope there is time tomorrow but it is not really likely as I have an appointment at Telus for a lesson on how to use my new phone LOL.
