Two Great Things

It's pretty late but I wanted to post two great things.

Firstly, the top is done!

The backing is pieced, the batting is airing.

Time for quilting.

 I think it's safe to start relaxing a little!

(Side note:  I'm doing a round of steroids to calm down

that major inflammation going on in my back/neck for now;

full check-up to come later.)

Second, and even greater,

I get to post this pic of my youngest son,

a junior, as he received his medal for first place

in pole vault at the KS State Track meet

(the biggest meet in the country)

with a vault of 15'1"--his personal best.

Hopefully I can get the video up tomorrow.

(I've never done that before but I thought I'd give it a try!)

My other son throws shot put tomorrow afternoon with a good

chance at placing so we're excited and will be there to cheer him on

for his last school sports competition...ever.  <sniff>

I'll be happy with just getting my quilt loaded before we head

out to the meet but I think I'll be able to get a couple hours of fun,

easy-paced quilting (what it's supposed to be, right?) in too.

My trust in things working out, though difficult,

does not seem to have been misplaced;

it's even looking like Memorial Day might be

a day of fun and relaxing with family by the pool,

maybe a little reading even?

And then I'll go deliver that quilt!
