Cop Car has sent me back to school. With her wonderful gift of Electric Quilt 5, she’s made me a student again.
The software comes with a very user friendly manual and a “Getting Started” booklet with six lessons. I was working on Lesson Four and ran into concrete wall. I was trying to work on the lessons at night, just before going to bed. We all know better, but I kept trying to follow the instructions despite being too tired.
I learned how to delete a project , and wiped out all my mistakes. I’ll get a fresh start on it in the morning. I’ve been excused from jury duty, so I’ll have a little time to myself that I hadn’t counted on. I’m sure things will go more smoothly this time around.
Soon Cop Car and I will be melting the wires with files of our newest designs!

Raccoon Adventures
I’ve told you that we’ve been listening to three families of raccoons in our attic. As they have grown, the noise has increased. We find ourselves shouting “GO TO BED!” or “That’s ENOUGH!!” The babies are noisy little beggars, especially when they hope to get a meal. They squeak and squeal and chirrrr and scrape and trundle along.
The first two of the babies are now joining their mother outside. We saw the first one about a week ago, and the second one came into view today. The second one is a screamer. S/he got separated from Mom, and shrieked and squealed and carried on until Mom reappeared.
We watched the two pups play this evening, and decided that they are siblings. At least we THINK they are siblings. We’re a little confused. We were sure that we knew which adult was the mother, but when it was time to depart, they trundled off with a different adult.
We’ll be watching. And counting. And one night, Dear Husband will be nailing a patch over their doorway!!! Look out world….here they come!
Summer
Are you busier in the summer?
We tend to lead pretty quiet lives, but everything picks up in the summer. I think the only quiet time in my week is Saturday night.
Drought
PLEASE, God….Please! Couldn’t we just have an inch or two of rain this week….and next??
It is SO dry here that we need to worry about the jerks who will shoot off fireworks during the week of the Fourth of July. Everything will go up like tinder.
