San Diego Day trip

 

Dava flew to San Diego for October's wedding, so we decided to fly to San Diego to have lunch with her. She had taken a 30-hour flight, so I thought the least we could do was fly 90 minutes to see her.

Sean and Meadow went to the Home Coming dance. Sean used all his money but they had a drama free night.

We took Birdie to reading time at the library. She had a good time doing gymnastics.

Vally and I made a Hello Kitty blanket. I thought it had her favorite character Cinnamon Roll but it was some other creature with big ears. I cannot identify the Hello Kitty characters!

Mom's quilt

When I was at Marjie's house in February, she showed me the quilt top Mom made. Mom worked on it throughout the 1970s. The top was finished, but the quilt was never put together. I brought it home to finish it. I knew I didn't have the skill to finish it, so I took it to a quilter in Bountiful.

It's amazing what a professional can do. Seeing this quilt mom worked on for so many years finished made me really happy. It's a tribute to Mom. Now, I need to go back to NC and return it to Marjie. I ordered a label made by Patricia Warehime Thomas in the 1970s. I'll add it to a corner so whoever inherits Mom's quilt knows where it came from. What a treasure.
