My "Katrina" quilt is coming along nicely. Which is a good thing, because I don't think I'll attempt a 'real-size' quilt in my 400 sq.ft. home again! Was going to do all the quilting with the machine--which I had never attempted before...but wimped. All the straight lines have been machine quilted and I'm hand quilting the heart shapes...
Hubby had to work this morning! Oh, boy! 6 hours of overtime to spend foolishly...gee, maybe I'll go crazy and make an extra payment on something!
Our daughter called last nite, with just minutes to talk... What a busy person! I need to go see our mutual doctor and get me some of whatever she's taking that's energizing her! LOL! "Whisper Down" sounds like they're picking up a 'following'! At least, they seem to have several 'gigs' lined up. And her hubby has his own mike, now! He is singing backup to her lead! Which, is the way they both like it! :)
I remain glued to the news coverage, still trying to make sense of the federal f*** up in the Gulf States. What I've gleaned so far is that they put FEMA in with a bunch of other agencies, under the auspices of the great and powerful HOMELAND SECURITY--and so anyone trying to get into the devastated area to help those poor people had to be frisked, checked out and thoroughly wrapped in red tape first! Which would also explain the fact that foreign rescue efforts appear to have been thwarted.... In the immortal words of Charley Brown--"Good grief!"
And then there's the part where they sent a plane load of African Americans from the Deep South off to live in UTAH!!! A reporter asked one guy what he had thought when he saw the mountains in the background. He said, "I thought they were fake." These poor folks mostly intend to make their homes there! None of them has any clue what Winter is like. Down here, it's a 'cold snap' when the day's high is below 70 degrees and the low is below 55. And, will the Feds be standing by to load those frozen people back into a plane and fly them South again in January????
Enough musing. Got laundry to hang out. Life goes on....
