Cathing up . . .

I cannot believe it has been this long since I have updated my blog. We have been back from vacation for weeks! We did have a really relaxing and nice time (and that is what we were looking for). The internet connection dropped out and it was really hard to connect - so I just let it go. We did not take many pictures, but did have a nice visit with Joy and Jim and also Don.

We came home on Thursday in time for me to finish my quilt top. The left side of the picture is actually the top of the quilt (I could not get the entire quilt if I shot it upright). Then the class last week was canceled - so this coming Thursday is my last class. I have my quilt loaded on my frame to do the quilting and then we will apply the binding in class (I have to cut and sew that before the class). I also need to make a label for the quilt before the class. I have enjoyed the class and might consider taking another one. It has turned HOT around here and I am going to have to get up early to work on my quilt as the garage gets way to HOT in the afternoon.

Wanda came for a visit and I really enjoyed that. It gave us a chance to catch up on "stuff" and just hang out and visit. We did a lot of nothing - I got her addicted to a couple of video games that I had on my computer, but I could not get her interested in Guitar Hero. I did manage to get her to play a couple of PS2 games (she needs to know how it works cause they bought one for their grandkids). We went out for Sushi and Indian food and that was yummy.

Things are about the same around here. Max still has a job and will probably have one until December, but the morale at work SUCKS. Everyone is unhappy and waiting to find out who is staying and who is going - really a depressing place to be right now. It is hard not knowing if there will be a job or not and trying to decide if she should throw her 7 years away and start over or stay and wait and see. My vote is for the stay and wait and see, but there are some jobs she might apply for and then if she gets a job offer - make the decision at that time.

When we were in Santa Barbara Max was able to pick up a bunch of photography stuff she wanted and today she got her Multi-dome Soft Box (which came with some free online lighting lessons). She really has everything she needs now for a complete studio. She is going to take some studio shots of a co-workers daughter next weekend.
