This is the latest Catalicious Stitchery from Red Brolly. I've lost count but believe this is block 5. She has also given us permission to copy the mice she has drawn on her site and use them in the quilt if we wish. I'm thinking I just might do that. They'd look so cute. She is such a very talented artist.
This past weekend I spent part of Saturday at our local Air Show. My husband had his plane on display. I took lots of video only to discover when I got home that I'd forgotten to put the camera chip in my camera - again! Darn. I had some really good stuff on there too. There was a group of 4 Harvard Aircraft that did a tribute to Support Our Troops (Canadian and American). It was amazing. It included a bagpiper playing - which was a little too loud. But it was lovely. It brought tears to my eyes. There must have been 8000-10,000 people there and everyone was absolutely silent during it.
Sunday I had church and then Sunday evening had volunteered to help make the filling for the sandwiches we were making Monday morning. Monday morning I helped making the sandwiches starting at 9am. I'm not a morning person. I also get very anxious when I have too much ahead of me, especially when two of the things were ones that I don't normally do, so I was completely exhausted by Monday afternoon. I did, however, finally get a photo of me with two friends who were selling muffins at the Spring Bazaar. The photo was terribly blurry and I tried to fix it but now it looks grainy.
Our weather is finally nice. DH went with his brother and father down to San Diego to try to get warm. Our weather turned nice as soon as they left. That's okay except now I'm the one who has to cut the lawns. Hmmm. Maybe I can sucker my son into doing one of them.
I spent so many years on my own, with him away, that this is a treat for me. I've gotten Jane Eyre and Northanger Abbey videos from the library and I have 5 Charles Dickens ones that my daughter gave me that I haven't watched. I get to read in bed before I go to sleep. I get to eat chicken stir fry. I miss him of course. He's been retired for 3 years now and is at home every night for a change. But I believe that having separate things in our lives as well as together things makes for a healthy relationship. Especially when I have possession of the remote *LOL*
Have a great Wednesday.

I love your cat block! They just keep getting cuter and cuter!
That's like with DH working 2nd shift (3pm to 11pm) so when he is home in the evenings on the weekends, it is totally different than during the week.
I missed your newsy posts Shirley.
I used to enjoy having the house to myself of an evening. I dont mind silence and peace. No chance of that these days with 4 of us here and one of them a baby.
Looks like you've been keeping yourself busy with stitching.
By the way the muffins (and the ladies in the photo ) look delicious.
Cute cat block. Those blocks will make such a nice quilt. I can see the mice embroidered around the border. Very cute.
You make me "smile" and chuckle!!!!
Men are great---but then it is "great" to have time to yourself too!!
I have been alone for many years---I sure would not know what to do with one of them "men" if one popped up!!!
Love your cat block--I am behind in the fact mine is not done--traced off though--lets see I still have a week to do him before I am late--right???????
Hug, Di
