Was out watering when ds, ddil and dgdC visited on their golf cart.

The mystery of the lady motorist in confusion has been solved and sadly it was drugs. I guess I had hoped for something more unusual, something from which she could be more nobly rescued, or at least not involve criminal charges. She is actually from another county, quite a distance, and may have just started driving aimlessly. She abandoned, forgot or lost her car at that house (it was dusk) and evidently walked across a pasture to a nearby house's barn where she found their riding lawn mower with the keys in it. She started it up and drove it to the road and then further along on the road, eventually crossing the road into another house's driveway, just a few away from ours. These are the neighbors who take care of my granddog when his people are away. She stopped there and began going through their cars, which were unlocked but without keys, then walked right into their house. They were able to get the police over there quickly since the search was already happening in the area.

I've sewn about 6 more lines of stitching, so I'm pleased. Twins', my back has been much better. But was taking out pins when my left hand started to cramp rather mercilessly, lol, and I decided I'd better take a break from sewing for a while.

Watched the first half of Sheep Detectives with HRH.

Twins: I need to decorate the deck & a make a fabric front door wreath with I hope they do not blow away! LOL!
Not really sure yet. I do have two flags & a red & white bucket.
I want to make up some red white and blue bags too just for fun.

Next I'll be making up fabric bags for the prayers shawls to go in.
Have a chair throw to hem.
An apron pattern to use that I've not made yet a cobbler style one.

I napped taking it easy on my shoulder to rest after knitting a bit too much this past week.
I made jello [red] this morning.
Mixed up some dog treats.

Ddpggo played with one of her toys yesterday that made me smile.

I was thinking of a taco stand meal next week but remembered how it has been known to upset my tummy
so rethinking that plan. Looks like the neighbors have company. Maybe a work cup party tonight as he's a coach I wouldn't be surprised.

Well, I'm thrilled to hear that Nancy's ddog is feeling so much better she is bounding across the yard and playing with toys.

Tobias, btw, has warmed up to his toy tower of rolling balls. He has discovered he can lie down and play with it sideways. Also, that he is strong enough to just lift the whole thing so gravity will bring the balls to him, rather than actually exerting himself by standing or moving or anything. That's for silly kittens, not self-respecting cats. He likes his game better. They designed it for aerobics, but he decided on weightlifting.

A lot more done on the quilting. Really only handwork is left on this part. It's looking like tomorrow morning may be the morning to get up early for a very quiet house, and clear off the den bar for space to baste the remaining part. And then, well, then there's plenty more to do, lol.

I guess I procrastinated too much yesterday and never made it to visit with you ladies.
Actually, after yoga, where I almost fell asleep :!: I told DS I had to take a nap before dgd came over. THEN, dmom called me and needed me to come help her change the sheets on her bed. Her housekeeper is recovering from shoulder surgery.
After I brought DGD over, she kinda monopolized my time.
Today, after a few rounds of Dirty Board, she was ready to go home. DGS came over after having birthday supper with his other grandparents. In just a few hours, he'll be 14. My goodness how time is flying by.
Tomorrow they will leave for their vacation trip. They will be gone 8 days. DGD was kinda excited about doing the travel journal; dgs -- not so much.

Anyway -- I just wanted to say hello. Tomorrow, with 8 days to practice, maybe I can GMAT again.
