We celebrated our 31st anniversary today--just the two of us. Another fishing trip. My choice. I think hubby felt sort of strange, but that is really what I wanted to do. We did try a couple different creeks...one I really, really like. I want to go back there through the week--might go by myself. The other is a nice creek, but I don't have luck there. I think this is maybe my 2nd or 3rd time going there...it has probably been 10 or 11 years since I last went to it. We didn't catch anything to brag about at either place--not in number nor in size. But it was still a pleasant way to spend the day.

I told my brother I think fishing is relaxing to me because when I fish, I concentrate on fishing. I am always thinking of what lure I want to try next, what color, or where I am going to cast. Fishing is one of the few things that keeps me really focused.

I was gone all day yesterday--just running around. Went down to the south end of town to see my friends little house that she is working on. It is tiny, but she wants to move to it because it will be less to take care of as she gets older.

From there I went HERE This is not a fancy website and needs to be updated...but it contains several pictures I have taken. It is my former place of employment...I just went to visit with the owners...it was and still feels like my home away from home. It felt like home the first time I set foot on the place 20+ years ago--and I worked there for 19 years. Only part-time, but most of the years were part-time year round...there is always something to do. Pruning, preparing for the coming season, planting new trees, cutting down old trees, etc. Go to PHOTOS and look in the album titled Orchard and see more pictures from there.
Today I got up and went to my daughter's house and we did 15 dozen ears of corn...we blanche it, cut it off the cob, bag it and freeze it. They love it...we did Six dozen ears last weekend and she is still not sure this will be enough. I told her she would be lucky if it lasted till winter.


I also got to see the baby kitties again....I am in love! They are so cute. I plan to get one soon as they are old enough.

Dumb, dumb, dumb! I am so disgusted with myself. That lining I pinned in the quilting frame a few days ago--I ended up getting it too short for the log cabin top. In ways I can't believe I did it, but in others it is typical of me to make a dumb mistake. I am not taking it out to sew a length on, but will do a different quilt top. Not sure which one yet...I am leaning pretty strongly towards a flying geese quilt top I did a few years ago. It really upset me that I did that. Maybe tomorrow I will feel more like doing something with it. Today when I discovered the mistake I had made, I just didn't feel like doing anything at all.

So, I made myself do laundry, vacuum and mop. At least those are done and won't have to be done again tomorrow. That way if something else don't happen, I can concentrate on something fun for a change.
