Home again!


KITCHEN FLOOR - WON'T IT MAKE A GREAT QUILT?!!




I am back in NoCal! Slept better last night than I have in four months. It was great. And in honor of my return it has been lovely and cool, only about 78 degrees! I was actually cold when I got up this a.m. The other great thing is The Big Guy and my dog are deliriously happy to have me home. The dog has not left my side/lap/feet since I arrived. Another perk is that the house is two hours closer to Mom's and only two blocks from Starbucks and a grocery store. So I'm happy. Still have to make the trip to the grandchild's, which I plan to do on public transportation, to see how that goes. Stay tuned!


HOMER, MOM'S DOG



ADDED MORE PAINT TO HOMER'S FACE

Artquiltmaker chastised me about keeping it too precious so I am working on giving that up. I drew/painted Homer, Mom's formerly rotten dog (he greatly improved with Mean Mary living with him for 4 months!). I am happy with how it came out as it looks exactly like him!

HANNAH AND FRAN



RALPH AND LILA

Also took photos of the Sunday Lunch Gang. Banana splits were the dessert of choice on this day! I feel like SoCal is another dimension where I am a different person. In charge, mean, responsible and not even able to use my real name as Mom uses my childhood nickname :(. In NoCal I am an equal partner and not totally responsible to make sure everything gets done. It is a real relief.



Well, it is time to get to work on our new house - which is a definite fixer upper with lots of potential! More later.

YAY!

Homer really looks like a dog, which is more important than him looking like Homer.

It was nice to see the photos of the lunch gang.

I need to find a place with good banana splits.

That floor reminds me of our kitchen floor on Judah Street. I think it will make a great quilt.
