Late again

I do not know where the days go, we were up fairly early, breakfast, shower and bed made.  Hubby has been waiting for a part to repair his riding lawn tractor, however, the business he ordered from must be having issues getting it, as he has been waiting for a long time, so he decided to look on the internet for another supplier.  He found one in Ottawa, so we ordered the part plus two more items he needed.  He went that route as the business he usually deals with is going out of business at the end of the year, and wanted to find a company that he could get parts from if he needed any in the future.   

We are both getting up in years, two,  am fairly computer/internet savvy, able to get myself around both with little trouble, however, with Hubby it is a different story.  We went to the web site, it was not easy to navigate, but found the parts he needed, then proceeded to order them.  He does not have a lot of patients with the internet, however, order placed and paid for with just a couple of hiccups.  Received confirmation and then an e-mail which indicated the part that he rally wanted is on back order with that company too.  So it is still a waiting game.

I worked in the sewing room this afternoon

Last night I went to my quilting guild meeting, masks, social distances, temps and tracing information were all in effect.   We now rent a hall that can provide all of the necessary precautions, in the past we have met in each others homes, but that does not work now due to the virus.  We had a good meeting  with lots of new quilts to ooh and ahh over.  A short business meeting in which we discussed the block of the month for our comfort quilts.  I mentioned before but here it is again,  members are paired  up and those two people choose a colour combination and a month of the year.  Then each member makes a 12 inch block in those colours for that particular month.  Then the paired members put the block together to makes a comfort quilt, is then donated to a local hospital for the chemo patients.  They get to keep those quits.  We have donated many quilts each year, but sad to say, they are always needed.

Dinner tonight, baked salmon, stuffed mushrooms, rice, left over broccoli, (thank goodness for the microwave). lemon poke cake and ice cream for dessert.

  1. How beautiful that you comfort the chemo patients with your quilts. God bless you folks for doing that for all who need it. Yes, unfortunately I think you will always have people who need your quilts, as cancer isn't going anywhere.

    I'm like your husband... I have absolutely NO patience for the internet or computers. I use them until I run into the proverbial brick wall with something and then I shut it down & walk away.
