Hexies As Done as Can Be

Last week was just off.  Hubs was home all week with

a rough respiratory thing that's going around.  It's really
rare that I get sick but now that everyone else in our family
has it, I am starting to feel a little like a sitting duck.
My lack of sleep isn't helpful but, I'm a fighter.  We'll see...

Anyhoo, he worked from home through conference calls
and such with me taking care of him on the side.  Nothing

major but still disruptive to a routine.

Saturday was his first day out and, after hitting a new
coffee shop, we headed out to my son's latest track meet.  

14'6" jump

Above is a pic of his 14'6" jump; he didn't quite get both

arms extended on on that one but cleared it and went on to take

first place with a jump of 15'.  I'm still struggling to get videos

embedded but I think I have the 15' video below--we'll see.

Updated:  I've changed this video from "private" to public
so maybe that fixed it.  If not, here's a link:  Ethan's jump

His official "Signing" with the West Point track team takes
place at his high school this Wednesday.  My job is to set
up a table with cookies/snacks and drinks for guests.
So you see, Mom isn't allowed to get sick.

Well, on to quilty things.  I did finish the top of the hexie quilt--
to the point that I could anyway.

88 x 108

When cutting this out, I discovered I didn't have
enough solid gray.  And, of course, Missouri Star was out.
Not on their floor, mind you, where I got it just 3 days before,
but in the warehouse--which is the only place they pull
from for online orders.  I sure wasn't going to run back up for
less than a yard of fabric so I've been waiting for them
to get it back in this week as promised.  And praying
there isn't a "dye lot issue" or something.
Hopefully I can still get this completely finished within
the next couple weeks on move on to the West Point quilt.

The week ahead
