Motivational Monday, Sept, 25
On Monday I started the day by planning to bake raisin bread for the upcoming Church breakfast next Sunday. However, when getting Bob's lunch ready, discovered that we were out of bread ourselves. So I had to make our batch first....and decided on a recipe of my own concoction. Honey, whole wheat with 5 grain cereal (Red River). It actually turned out very good....now to remember what I did!!
After preparing the bread I went down to the sewing room and almost completed the blocks for the baby quilt I am doing for Madison, the newest Oliver addition. It is a challenge as I wanted to use fabric from my own stash....especially the Kiddy prints that I had inherited from my mom some years back. The trickiest part is finding the exact shades to match..... I think what I am doing may work. I hope to finish it this morning.
Carole had called and I tried to get her to hook off work as it was a lovely sunny, but windy day, and I needed to get for a long ride. She couldn't swing it so I cycled to ACW, arriving just in time for lunch. Joyce had made an extra sandwich for me...thanks!! I did quilt with Karen, Martha, Joyce, Rose and a new gal, Suzanne for about two hours. Speaking about quilting, I forgot to mention that at the Quilt show, two men were sitting together having cookies and tea, and one was overhead saying to the other "seen many fat quarters?"....and I don't think they were referring to fabric!!
I departed at about 2:15 and did a solo ride across the ferry to the peninsula, down Perry Point Road, up the HIll Rd., down Ketchum Rd to the Lower Norton Shore Rd and then back through Hampton on the old No#1 to the Hampton Highway, Model Farm to Meenans and back the Gondola Point Rd to home...about 56 km. It was great to be in the saddle again!!
Back home in time to get Buddy to the vet for his annual shots. That was a feat. Never before have we had such a struggle to get him into the carrier. I feared that I was going to have to call the vet to cancel....after many clawings, scratches we made it. He did let me cuddle him at the vet and when we got him home, we kept him inside....he is a little on the slow mode today and still not very impressed with me.
This morning I have the raisin bread raising...most likely will get 6 or 7 loaves which won't be enough. I will do more tomorrow.
Hopefully the weather will remain good today so I can get out for the weekly Quick Chick cycle tonight. I haven't been out with them since my return almost 3 weeks ago!!
