We really enjoyed No Good Deed. Great talent, and surprising twists and turns.
I didn't see any on Iona the one day I was there, but maybe I'll see something hiking. We did see a beautiful ring on Orkney called the Ring of Brodgar. But it's true, they are all over the place in Scotland.
I suspect your nieces feel about you the way I feel about her. I have/had 2 aunties who mean/meant everything to me. My Dad's sister whom I am named for was another guiding North Star for me.
You are so fortunate to have such a generous and supportive soul as your Aunt! (From now on I will also capitalize her.) Of course you'll go and experience the magic of Iona and the spirits of three generations of beautiful souls!

Staying at my brother's while visiting my Mom for a few days. Her cognition has definitely declined since her surgeries. She did stand today which is good, would like to see her able to take some steps. At least she is getting PT and OT.
I skipped lunch and am starving for dinner which my brother is currently making. Chicken chop suey I guess!

Greetings all
Still another sunny crisp day. I will take it. Started the day waddling at the gym. Watching classic football game, listening to Aretha, and observing skinny people lift impossible weights was almost sensory overload. Then I went to the studio and made a few things. Ho hum.
Paula you get the award for consumption of unusual meats. Anyone eat alligator? I swear one time in Japan I ate a bar-b-qued guppy. Awful.
Yes Peps quilting is so great! Such an under appreciated art form. Love both the old traditional and the contemporary. I have a few that my grandmother made. Patchwork from other things she sewed. My mother had a quilt made from scraps of the clothes she had as a kid. My grandmother was also a wonderful seamstress and I wish I had learned more from her.
Cripes its hard to imagine that you teachers have to be concerned about ICE raids. Not like there isn't plenty to worry about.
Yow DD such a great travel outlook for you! Iona sounds wonderful. You are so lucky to have such a generous and fun auntie. Are there any stone circles there? We went to one in Scotland but I can't remember the name.
We watched the rest of No Good Deed last night. Good show.
Thanks for the passport reminder. Need to do that just in case we ever go anywhere.
Question: Why does the pencil smell bad?
Answer: Because it is a number two....

Wow!!!! What an exciting year of travel you have planned. Your DH is a gem among gems! (But you already know that!)
I am so glad to be retiring. When I read the email about ICE protocols my gut turned. It's wrong on so many levels. Sheesh!
Peps, I love, love textiles! Quilts are definitely art. I always check out the linens etc at thrift shops. Sometimes I see obviously handmade quilts and it makes me sad that somebody would give it up. My grandmother was a gifted seamstress, and I treasure every little thing she created, tea towels, quilts, Christmas tablecloths. I wish I was more gifted with sewing.
We are supposed to be getting our ICE training too. Can they actually come and remove children from GRADE SCHOOL? I figured it would be more likely to happen at a high school. I can't imagine how frightening it would be for all children to see people dressed in black with guns in the building. Pray it never, ever happens.
