I spent part of the afternoon packing up for our long weekend in the mountains. Then, I got an e-mail that I am supposed to start work at my teaching job tomorrow! I sat around acting antsy until I finally got the principal on the phone at 4:15. He was fine with me not starting until Tuesday. What a nice guy!

So, my hours will be 1:00-4:00. Not bad! I will be sharing a trailer with two other teachers.

Enjoy your weekend, and I will check back in early next week with some mountain pics. We are not expecting the wintry weather of our last visit, but it is extremely windy here today. Maybe we will get a tail wind to push us up the mountain! There is no hunting this weekend, so I hope we will spend a lot of time gazing at some favorite views from the mountaintop.

Counting Down the Days

There are eight days left until I go back to work! I think I am going to be in shock when I can no longer lolly-gag around the house all morning. You will probably see fewer blog posts from me. I have been busily completing all the processes that the school system bureaucracy dishes out. Since I have been retired for more than two years, I had to begin the application process all over again. I can look forward to an orientation day (to a system I have worked for 24 years!), TB test, and the ever-popular drug test, a first for me!



Anyway, Jean H. brought me her gorgeous applique top to quilt yesterday. I decided I better get right on it. She wanted wonky flowers, hearts, and an informal, whimsical look. That is what I love to do! Each block is different and has loads of cute fabrics and motifs. Here is what I have done so far. Please excuse any basting stitches or hanging threads that have not been trimmed yet.
