Uh, I forgot....

Today began chilly and didn't warm up a great deal. Barbara declined to beach walk, so we planned to begin stitching right after breakfast.

First hiccup - B realized her hairbrush was back in SA. So she walked over to Piggly Wiggly for one and her bananas, which we forgot to get yesterday.

I was ready to begin while she was on her stroll only to discover I left the cutting mats sitting on the kitchen counter! Fortunately, my travel one was with the sewing machine. But a small one didn't really "cut it" (Yeah, I know - horrible pun!) for long.

B's first task this week is completing her Island Quilters mystery quilt that we began receiving instructions for a year ago. On step 4, she realized she had never made Flying Geese..she very quickly became as un-enamored of them as I am! But she did finish.

I decided to empty my trays of 2.5 inch strips and am making a very crazy quilt log cabin block lap quilt. One challenge arose when I realized that not all the strips were properly "filed" compelling me to remeasure and cut many of them.

After lunching on Honey Baked Ham sandwiches (minus mustard which is back in The Burg along with my Crustal Light) we toddled off to Walmart for a cutting mat. Stopped at Coligny Plaza on the way "home" to get the SC decal Sonny desires. My Ring doorbell startled me when Amazon delivered a package, which Kitty took off my porch to safeguard until my return. These two wonderful neighbors (Kitty and Sonny) so lessen my angst about leaving my home that I travel more pleasurably.

We continued sewing and watching the Saints lose the Wild card with me complaining that if the Vikings' QB had played like that during the season I would probably not have ended up in last place in Fantasy Football.  Very pleased with our sewing progress, so we opened a bottle of the Heath Winery Sparkling Wine I bought in Texas and had a delightful dinner,   Then watched some TV while planning future trips - possibly back to Alaska or to Iceland, then to Scandinavia and Finland.  Lots of possibilities.

Late this afternoon, we discovered the complex's wi-fi was blocking our email reception. Web searches and other apps worked great, just no email reception. Thank goodness for LTE.  The email conundrum waits for a solution in the morning.

Basically a quiet and productive day, despite having to accept several instances of "old brain" as we each had moments of "Duh, I forgot..." Tomorrow promises to be warmer so the sand is already calling Barbara, me, not so much.

One realization - two women stitching does not equal much available counter space!!!
