Quilting Today

I have a book on tape, and it is way cool in my studio, as compared to the 100+ degrees outside, so I will be snug as a bug at the machine today. I find machine quilting to be mind-numbingly dull, but necessary.
Dave returned from the BMW Nationals in Lima OH and because he took the truck, having sold his Beemer, he came home with everyone's leftovers in a cooler in the back. A half bottle of black rum, another half bottle of merlot, three bottles of lemonade, and a big big bottle of Coke Classic. I can't believe that anyone still drinks this stuff, and how in the world will I get rid of it? Don't suggest mixing the black rum with it, or my teeth may rot.
He also managed to get a large wedge of Parmaggiano Reggiano cheese home in very good condition, still wrapped tightly against the melting ice in the cooler. That was a gift!

We have mega basil in a pot on the deck, red ripe tomatoes and pesto in our future.

My diet has gone to hell.

That is the summer for you. All the bounty from the garden and new plates to eat it on. Sigh.

Now that Dave has had his vacation, we are faced with keeping him occupied in retirement. I am suggesting getting a sportscar to replace the huge unnecessary truck in the driveway, which is too large to fit in the garage and casts a perpetual shadow on the flowers in the box next to it.
He can spend hours on Ebay and Autotrader looking at cars and never buying one. Not exactly a hobby, but it keeps him clean and amused.
