I finally finished hand quilting my Olympia border quilt! I need to finish the binding and a few applique's I'm adding to the top. I'll try to post a picture when it's all done.
Sis Trista has been coming over for more than a week now to quilt on her quilt. We have had some very good and uplifting visits. It has also created a deeper friendship. I have enjoyed her.
We had a baptizing and ordinance supper on Sunday. It was so refreshing. It had been about 10 years since we had sat in an ordinance supper here.
A blizzard is supposed to be here now, but the 40 degree temps have kept it at bay. It has been raining steady for almost 24 hours. That is very unusual weather for Denver.
My fridge went out yesterday. Bro Justin N. is coming to fix it this afternoon. The colder temps have been nice for keeping the food cold outside in a covered laundry basket. Animals didn't bother it all night and today until I started writing this post and a chipmunk got into our corn tortillas.
Dale has been working some overtime. It's nice sometimes to have the money, but I wish he didn't have to work Saturdays. He had to start work at 5 am this morning!
I am looking forward to reading Laurie's blog. I needed our talk today. Thanks for the advice. Sorry I stole time on Skye's last day there.
Less than 2 months till we go to Oregon. Yippee!!

8 I love comments!!:
It's so great to see another post from you! Rain? Not unusual here! Of course, we've been having beautiful weather here. Of course, I even say that when it's been overcast and rainy, because to me that is still beautiful. God made the rain, too! Besides, I love rainbows. And rain is just a fact of life. It falls on the just and the unjust! I look forward to reading Aunt Laurie's blog too. I wonder if she'll post if Skylene isn't there to prompt her? Well, I'll prompt her, and Skye will probably call and nag! LOL. I hate the word nag because it looks and sounds so ugly, but oh well. It's going to be great to see you at the reunion.
I can't wait to see you either. Sorry I couldn't talk, you know how it is....Garage Sales calling. Ordinance Suppers are such a lift, and really help you to feel close to the brethren. This is Gale:)
I can't wait to see a pic. of the quilt, finally. Maybe we will get the bug and finish ours? This is Gale again:)
I am looking forward to seeing you all again in June. When we drove by your old road while in Wa it was too bad you didn't live there anymore. But I am glad things are settling in for you in Co. Mom was super good about not being on the phone much while I was there so she deserved a long conversation before I left!:)
BTW, I'm glad you got to have an Ordinance Supper. Who got baptized?
Thanks a.C the Menu plan was helpful to me just used it to help my uninspired menu. Also what a good idea just a list instead of an actual menu. I stole that idea too. I'm very burnt-out on making an entire menu. I like having it but it seems like more work than this was.
I didn't know you were going up to Oregon, I am hoping you can make it to Oklahoma soon :) I miss ya! We are getting settled finally, it has been so busy for the last month- two months :P Anyway, sounds like you've had a lot going also, hopefully we'll get to talk soon :)
We too had an ordinance meeting Sunday here in Idaho. It is such a sweet reminder of the price that was paid for us. Im glad you got to have one there now that you are living there again. 10 years is a long time. A couple of years ago we had an ordinance meeting with brethren we havent had one with in 14 years. It just makes it extra special.
