I am finished with blocks # 28 & 29 on Sunbonnet Sue. I have only one more block to go, along with some border to finish up. I have no idea when I will get to work on that withthe season that looms before us. I have been cutting Prairie Points but need a couple of million more. :)
I probably will go back to quilting on The Jane Stickle Quilt when Sunbonnet is done.
I really need to learn photography! All of my blocks are straight but look very mis-shapen. (I suspect it is more important for the blocks themselves to be straight.)
I received my 2 new books in the mail I had ordered. I am so drawn to the applique blocks combined with piecing.

Abbott versus Costello
If you don't remember the comedy team of Abbott & Costello, this will not mean anything to you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were alive today, their infamous sketch, 'Who's on First?' might have turned out something like this:
COSTELLO CALLS TO BUY A COMPUTER FROM ABBOTT
ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
COSTELLO: Thanks I'm setting up an office in my den and I'm thinking about buying a computer.
ABBOTT: Mac?
COSTELLO: No, the name's Lou.
ABBOTT: Your computer?
COSTELLO: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.
ABBOTT: Mac?
COSTELLO: I told you, my name's Lou.
ABBOTT: What about Windows?
COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?
ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with Windows?
COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look at the windows?
ABBOTT: Wallpaper.
COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.
ABBOTT: Software for Windows?
COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write proposals, track expenses and run my business. What do you have?
ABBOTT: Office.
COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?
ABBOTT: I just did.
COSTELLO: You just did what?
ABBOTT: Recommend something.
COSTELLO: You recommended something?
ABBOTT: Yes.
COSTELLO: For my office?
ABBOTT: Yes.
COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office?
ABBOTT: Office.
COSTELLO: Yes, for my office!
ABBOTT: I recommend Office with Windows.
COSTELLO: I already have an office with windows! OK, let's just say I'm sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need?
ABBOTT: Word.
COSTELLO: What word?
ABBOTT: Word in Office.
COSTELLO: The only word in office is office.
ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.
COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows?
ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue 'W'.
COSTELLO: I'm going to click your blue 'w' if you don't start with some straight answers. What about financial bookkeeping? You have anything I can track my money with?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: That's right. What do you have?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: I need money to track my money?
ABBOTT: It comes bundled with your computer.
COSTELLO: What's bundled with my computer?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer?
ABBOTT: Yes. No extra charge.
COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much?
ABBOTT: One copy.
COSTELLO: Isn't it illegal to copy money?
ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy Money.
COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money?
ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT!

ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
COSTELLO: How do I turn my computer off?
ABBOTT: Click on 'START'.............

52 nd Anniversary
Today is my 52nd wedding anniversary. I am trying to remember to celebrate the 51 ½ years that we shared together, rather than listen to my heart weep.
52 years ago tonight that I looked up into the bluest eyes I had ever seen & pledged before God & Man to “ love , honor, & cherish until death do us part.” For all those years, I kept that promise, as did the man I was pledging my words to.
Do I have any regrets? Oh yes, I do!
If I could do any of those years over:
I would clean less & remember to hold his hand more.
Sit with him & watch his TV Westerns .
I would smile more & frown less.
Sit beside him & tell him how much I appreciated him.
I would work less hours at an outside job or perhaps not at all.
I would be in no hurry, I would be more patient.
The list could go on & on....................
He honored me with his last name, a name I hope that I have / will honor in my actions & deeds. He was a good man, an honorable & decent man…….and I will always love & miss him.
