"The Princess"

Bridget had to dress Toby as a Princess this year for Halloween.

Steele's Eqgyptian Funeral

Shopping, Hiking and Swimming

On Friday after work I picked up Bridget and Steele and Mom and Toby and we stopped and got a Subway sandwich on the way out to Highland to Just Sew. We were there shopping for material for an hour and had a great time we even forgot that Toby was in the car.

After shopping we drove to Lynnette's and Steele and I hiked with her up her mountain. It was a gorgeous day. Then we hopped in her pool. At the end we were all in the hot tub and Toby jumped right in and swam to me. We were all shocked.

On the way home we stopped to see Bruce and Barry and his family were there. We got to see his new hunting dog - German Short Hair. Cute dog!!

He had a very fun day!!!

Quilting

Just Sew is keeping me supplied with lots of projects. :) I have another quilt top just about finished. It's one that I designed on my own. I bought materials to start another quilt top and a pattern for the next. Mom even bought a project for me to do for her as gifts. So my sewing machine has been busy again. My last quilt is on display at the quilt shop now to help them sell the material that I made it with. I always need projects to do.

Spoken Word

Yesterday afternoon Bridget asked me when the Tabernacle Choir practiced. She said she needed to attend a choir performance for her choir class at school before Wednesday. So we got looking on the internet and decided to get up this morning early and go to the broadcast of the Spoken Word at the Tabernacle on Temple Square. Carol (Linda's sister from Cowley, WY) is in town visiting Linda so we invited them. They got up early and went with us. We got there early enough to get a great seat and we got to hear them go through the whole program once as a rehearsal and then the real deal. It was very interesting to see the whole production. The weather was abosolutely gorgeous. We couldn't have asked for a better day. During the summer they have the Spoken Word in the Conference Center so were so lucky to be able see it in the old Tabernacle.

Afterwards we walked through Temple Square and saw the Christus. Carol had never been in the Conference Center so we went there and had a tour of that building. It was amazing. We even got to see the Gardens on the roof. Our tour guide is a producer for KSL and does a service mission every Sunday Morning. She was very remarkable.

We were all very hungry by the time we were done (12:30 p.m.) so we ate a Kudo Bar and Sunny D on the way home. We dropped Linda and Carol off in Alpine and we headed home. We had tuna sandwiches and had a wonderful nap.

It's amazing that I have never been to the Spoken Word in all my years. I have seen it plenty of times on TV. It was a wonderful experience to share with Bridget and Steele. Thanks Bridget for needing to go for a school assignment.

Merry-Go-Round Quilt Top

I finished the quilt top. I bought the material at Just Sew (Linda and Alice's quilt shop). Now I need to buy a backing and quilt it. It will go on our bed under the bedspread. It was fun to sew again. It's good therapy for me. The pictures don't do it justice. It was a fun one to do. I have material to start another quilt top but need to pick out a pattern.

New Dresser

Sue gave me her old dresser while she is upgrading in her bedroom. Thank you Sue!!! Jared and Jason used their muscles and brought it over. Thanks guys. I have taken over Nicole's closet and Sue's dresser. That's one thing about this house it has little closet space but I still love it!!!!!!!!!! I moved her desk up into the den and put Don's computer on it and got rid of the white computer table that was there.
