Hey girl, the Bears won a super bowl? Why dont I remember that! Your not in a rout, your happy!
Joe! (hands on hips) That might have been the only time da Bears will win in my lifetime. How could you forget???
Yeah…..you’re right. If I wasn’t pretty happy, I wouldn’t have kept doing the same thing all this time. 🙂
Joe–Good way of looking at things. I’ll have to keep that on tap to use as a point in my defense, sometime.
Hey I’m just impressed that you remembered back that far Buffy, much less yesterday *wicked giggle* I’m sorry I couldn’t resist ~ and instead of boring I think of you happy and content!!!
Listen missy, you too will get to look back more than 50 years one day….and I hope that I’m here to remind you of all your pointed comments! *G*
AND….I can just about guarantee that you will have MORE gray hair than I do, after raising the Prissy Princess. (WEG)
Buffy – I didn’t realise that you taught quilting on a regular basis as well as making quilts for yourself. I’m really impressed
Err… if you do have the opportunity to run away to Scotland let me know. We could meet up if you came to this side of the pond. Oh and those bad habits you describe – that’s just like me (except for swearing much).
I’d LOVE to meet you in Scotland! We could have our own personal retreat!
Don’t worry about the swearing. Since Dear Husband doesn’t swear (at least at home), and his children don’t swear, I’ve really tried to cut back. I haven’t succeeded in completely giving it up, but most of my language is pretty decent now.
Yeah….I taught some quilting when we had the needlecraft shop, and I taught beginners classes for my quilt guild. I’m what would be called an intermediate quilter. I haven’t kept up with the new trends and techniques to be considered advanced, and I have too many other obligations to give it the time I’d need to make it to the next step. There are lots of things left for me to learn, and I look forward to trying my hand at some of them.
Now just a dad-gummed minute! If there is a meeting in Scotland, you must include moi. It’s mandatory!
Quilt designer Linda Everhart, a Topeka, Kansan who recently returned from Ireland, Wales & England, spoke at our Prairie Quilt Guild meeting, yesterday. She developed the FUSIQUE method, a trademarked technique for making “stained glass” quilts. I decided that I wasn’t ready to take her workshop (and I definitely wasn’t ready for the sermon that was the basis of her talk!) I understand that people can be enthusiastic about their religions–they should be–but, I didn’t sign up for a sermon. The guild gurus will hear about this.
Good for you, Cop Car! Feedback is the only way our teachers become more professional. It’s too bad that someone hasn’t set her straight before this. Quilt guilds weren’t created to be captive audiences for anything other than quilting.
I wondered when we’d hear from you about the trip to Scotland! I KNEW you wouldn’t want to be left out. *S*
A retreat in Scotland sounds good to me too. The three of us – I wonder if the husbands would want to come? I suspect not, they would probably wince at the thought of all the chatter!
Mind you, if you came to Scotland perhaps you two could do some more brainwashing. I can just imagine it, hypnotising me and saying “Take up quilting…take up quilting.. take up quilting…”
Hmmmmm………..
Good grief! I would need to quit procrastinating and renew my passport. It expired three years ago, without ever having been used!
Take up quilting…..take up quilting….
Dear Husband got along well with HH….and I think they would both like John. We’ll have to give this some thought! *G*
Take up quilting…..
I think mine is good for another five years. I guess I better check it to be sure!
Go get that passport renewed, Cop Car!
Well, if we go, it will be without HH. He has (gracefully) bowed out saying that I should go have fun! Intriguing.
*chanting with Buffy*
Dear Husband didn’t voice a choice, but if HH isn’t going, probably he won’t either. Are we talking about next summer? And WHERE in Scotland?
Have set up a barrier around my mind to block out the attempts to hypnotise me as I’ve just booked a class to learn Soft Furnishings (making curtains, blinds, etc.
I know Buffy, you and Cop Car will point out to me that I could also start quilting as well. {Eyes beginning to revolve in a hypnotic trance}
*Quilting, quilting, quilting*
Buffy–Tell Dear Husband that it might be fun to have two gorgeous, 21-year-old, stacked blondes to escort. Did he think of that? Also, you might point out to him that the three of us did well by ourselves for one afternoon, at least. Encourage him to come, if we go. Don’t let HH’s not going torpedo his plans.
HH did the international travel bit while working for the Big Bomber Store. Since he and I don’t travel all that well, together, there just isn’t any allure for him. *sigh* Ummm…Buffy…I think that Scotland is somewhere north of Africa, isn’t it?
Adele–Quilts are soft. Surely they will be included in the course! Speaking of “course”, I’ll bet if you could get a tee time for HH on THE Course in Scotland (St. Andrews, isn’t it?), HH would be tempted. (Well, not really.) What is the best time of year for Scotland–remembering that Buffy and I suffer from the heat?
hey I remember the bears win…. wayyyyyyyyyyy back when gid was a boy…
gawd I feek auld…
Are you two serious about Scotland? I mentioned it to my DH and he did not run away shreiking by the idea of us all meeting up there. Let me know offline if you are both interested….
