STRANDED, et al

 

Why is she showing us a picture of her

garage you are asking????😵

Well..............

you see, yesterday  at 4 p.m. Tom went

to close our garage door and heard a huge

KA-BLAMMMMMM sound

AND....

If you look up at the tippy-top--

you can see that the spring that pulls the

door open and closed is broken!!

Both cars are inside, so we were virtually 

STRANDED ..until someone could come

to fix it for us as you cannot even

lift the door by hand as it goes all

wonky from side to side--

PLUS 

it's just too darn heavy being a 

double garage door!!!!

S  I  G  H  ..

Isn't it always something???

After a long search Tom (my hero 💖💋)

was able to find a local emergency

garage door repair company.

They are slated to come between

8-10 this morning...

We have fingers crossed that he can

fix it for us as Tom has two MD

appts this Tues and Wed...

*********************

Tom celebrated his 87th birthday

on Friday (yes, the 13th!!).

Our daughter, Candice, drove down 

after work to celebrate with us.

We toasted Tom with some Prosecco

and cheesecake.  

He got a lovely light summer Henley

from Candice in his favorite blue color

and these gifts from our son, Jeff,

 came via Amazon:

At first we couldn't figure out what the baskets

were= duh-- in our 80's you know....👥

they are:

Nice veggie grilling baskets --Tom's comment

was "well, now i'll have to eat my veggies..."

Jeff's answer "..along with beef chunks

and of course a cold beer" 

HAHAHA

Guy humor for sure!! 😁😂😄

The little box holds an all-purpose tool

 that looks like a pen but holds

several different functions, 

including a little level,

 a Phillips screwdriver

 and reg head one,

 and some other "guy" stuff.

Our son is a gadget guru...

On my "Jelly Roll Jive" front

I managed to get 1/2 of it pin basted 

↴↴↴↴

and 

I have begun the 2nd quilt from this 

one same batik blue shades  roll:

It will look slightly different as I have

incorporated a Kaffee Fassett panel 

along with my mint green batik 

roses blocks. 

I'm loving how they add the element of

scrappiness to my piece.  

I have six out of 10 rows sewn...but

not together;  just pinned in place...

in groups of two rows....

I hope to finish the last 3 rows this

morning 

{while awaiting the repairman--fingers

crossed that he can fix it!!}

Added: later on:

and this is what

is left over from the one jelly roll

Not too shabby, right???

thanks again ROSE

for a great pattern...;)))

Hugs, Julirose
