Yesterday was actually a beautiful day. The sun was shining, temperature was moderate with low humidity (I
love days like that here in south Florida!),
and I finished the Lavender Dreams quilt top!
I assembled the backing, packed everything up and took it down to Kathy. She will take the top, add the batting and backing, and mount it on her frame so her long-arm machine can do all the
fancy stitching that will really make the quilt sing.
When she's finished with her work (next week), I'll add the binding and it will be all done - just in time for me to present it to Miss Snoopy Pants' (aka, my younger sister, Diana) when she flies to Florida in December to celebrate my birthday with me.
Thank you to everyone for your prayers and good thoughts for Kes. The little stone passed yesterday morning while she was at the vet's office, however the larger stone was going to pose a problem. I love our vet and her entire staff, so I didn't fret about Kessie's care at all. I knew they would take good care of her for me.
Kes underwent surgery early afternoon on Friday and is now resting comfortably at the 24 hour emergency clinic in Sarasota. She stayed overnight for pain management and IV fluids. I'm told I'll be able to pick her up later this afternoon or Sunday. Of course, I'm hoping that it's today. I want her back here at home!
One last photograph to share with you from Thursday night's concert. You can see that Handsome and I were on the stage at the same time. It was so much fun doing the Veterans' Day program! (You can click on the image to see a bigger picture, and I even drew arrows over each of us!)
Have a great weekend, guys and dolls. See you tomorrow with Kes updates.
