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
↴↴↴↴
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
thanks again ROSE
for a great pattern...;)))
