Sewing Outside--and other stuff

On Sunday, we took it easy and it was a nice fall day--a little overcast with a breeze. I decided to get out my sewing machine to work on the project I brought along. And where better to sew than outside!

I love to sew outside! There was a picnic table beside the coach and with a pillow on the seat, and an extension cord for the plug, I was in business. My project is a very easy one called the Honeycomb pattern. It's a colored square on the right top, a light background square on the bottom right, and a matching colored rectangle on the full left side. Two seams and a block is made! I got two of the color groups done--the yellows and greens.

Then Sunday night we went to the Mickey Gilley Show. That man still looks g-o-o-o-o-d! And he is 72! It was an entertaining show and he sang some of his No. 1 hits.

On the way here, at a truck stop, I found a book that I really love and would recommend. The title is A Treasury of Christian Prayer, selected by Oliven Turchetta, copyright 2006, by Lion Hudson. It is a compilation of beautiful prayers through the ages and I have found it to be a wonderful resource for a daily meditation. I don't know about you, but the older I get, the more I need to pray! (Maybe that's because the older I get, the more I worry.)
