200th Post!

Thow confetti!!

Blow up some balloons!!

Have a piece of cake!!

Make a toast and sip champagne!!

Heck, let's go all out and have some fireworks, too!!

Well, maybe that's just a bit of overkill, but I'm really stoked to realize that this is my 200th blog entry. For a 'chatty cathy' like myself, it was relatively easy. Blathering on about quilting seems to come quite naturally for me. So glad to have all you wonderful readers along for the ride. I've come to be very chummy with a few of you. Several are real life friends, others cyber friends. I appreciate all readers and commenters.

Big doings around here!! DH has left me for a week! I took him to his sister's on Thursday night. Yesterday, Friday, he and Kellie (sister) got on one of these:

And their plane did have a dolphin on it. They ended up here:

In Seattle where they were met by their father, Jim, and their brother, Mike. Jim and Mike had driven cross country on a 2-week long sightseeing tour. The four of them coordinated the trips to meet in Seattle yesterday so that today they could board this today:

Yessiree, they are taking a week-long cruise to Alaska. Won't they have a grand time? At the ship, they are going to meet yet another brother, Eric, and his wife Lisa, her parents Jerry and Marlus, and long-time friends of Jim's, Ed and Liz. So there are 10, total, in their group. I am so glad they are getting a chance to do it.

Since I'm staying here to mind the homefront, I intend to get a number of jobs accomplished in Kevin's absence. I've got plans to clean out and rearrange 2 or 3 of my kitchen cabinets, finish my Blue Portugal quilt top, help DD Emma finish her 4-H project, and straighten up my sewing room. Those are the top priority items. I hope to get a lot of smaller tasks taken care of, too.

So post number 201, hopefully, will be my showing you a finished quilt top of Blue Portugal. Go on with your celebrating. I'm headed out to the grocery, then I'm going to enjoy this absolutely gorgeous summer day!
