In The Beginning There Were 2 Fingers......

So, sometime while I was working last weekend Subvet had this little drama with Gator-boy:

Dad: Get those fingers out of your mouth!

Dad: The other hand isn't ok either!!

Dad: Hey! Neither is your foot!


















Some things never change!





This has been another installment of TINY TALK TUESDAY Go see Mary at Not Before 7 to see more of this fun event.

Question for the week.

Linda at Are We There Yet? periodically has "I've got a question, you've got an answer" posts.

So, this post is stol...ahem....inspired by Linda.


Seeing as how it's been >100 degrees all week reaching 107 today (Sunday) with a heat index in the zillions (for me anyway) my question for you is this:

How do you "beat the heat"?? What's your favorite way to cool off.

As for myself I've taken to taking a glass of ice water with me when I leave for work and drinking while driving (I know, I know). Since I have to be at work at 6:45PM I'm leaving the house about 6PM, ie, the hottest part of the day. Frequently when I get in the car the electronic thermometer says very silly things such as 108, 110, and Sat night 113. As I drive it usually drops into the 100-103 range. But that ice water sure tastes good even at that "cool" temp.

THE TURTLE MOVED!!

So, we got a new scale see.

I immediately decided I didn't like this scale as it was going in the wrong direction. I told Subvet that we seemed to go through scales rather quickly around here.

I'm guessing that the poor scale heard us and became fearful for it's life....

Because the next time I got on it....

It had MOVED in the right direction a fair bit!!

Which of course means that I get to move that turtle.

Yipppeeeeeee!!

So, moral of the story, strike fear into the hearts of your scales and results will follow!

Show and Tell

This is my and my grandmother's quilt.

Back when I was first married my Grandmother decided that she couldn't do any more quilting and gave me about 5 large boxes of all her material/scraps/quilting stuff.

In it I found all of her "tester blocks" and 7 blocks plus a lot of extra fabric for a lap quilt she didn't get finished.

When Sonshine was a baby I was going to my Grandparent's house about every 3 months. About 2 weeks before one of these visits I decided that I just had to make her a quilt. So I took all those tester blocks and the unfinished lap quilt and made them into same sized blocks then put them together with sashing to make this quilt. Due to how fast I needed it done I tied the quilt instead of quilting it. Then I took it to Grandmother.

Later, she replaced one of the blocks that "didn't match" with another one, and she went back and quilted the whole thing, taking out my ties.

From all I've been told this quilt was very special to her, when she became hospitalized due to her strokes, she asked especially for them to bring it to her.
