World Answers

Today my friend of 41 years came over, we spent the day sewing and solving the problems of the world. As our guys came home we told them all about the day.
Her husband, Ron, spent the day in my old garage plumbing, wiring, and sheet rocking the bathroom.
Darlene and I worked on quilts and blocks. I almost completed a quilt top. Mine are in big twelve inch squares. Hers are hand work and blanket stitched around. It is so cute. It gave me an idea for another quilt. Hey I always look for ideas. That is how I decorate and cook and sew, I imitate. The sincerest form of flattery.
My husband spent the day on the job with the guys, he has not told me yet, but I can bet he has a story to tell of today. He always does.
When he came home we ate, then he drove back to town to meet Ron and purchase the rest of our items for the finish job on the garage. It is going to be really nice, once it is complete.
Great news, I found out my sister and husband (my husbands brother) may come out to visit. I am all excited, like a kid waiting for Christmas.
Yes, we married brothers, My sister is 5 years older than me and my husband is 8 years older than me. She married the younger brother, I married the older one.
They will be married 50 years this December, we were married 45 years in June.
So much alike but so different. My husband is heavy, hers is skinny.
She dresses conservative, I dress comfortably. She keeps her hair well kept, I am a casual as I can be. Right now It looks like I stuck my finger in a light socket, I have it moussed and tousled. I have NEVER seen her hair out of place.
But we are sisters, and respect each others nature. Mine is wild, hers is tame.
my nephew called me Country,-Western, must be the southern accent).
I envy her ability to keep her cool, while I go in with both barrels loaded. She looks like she is still together after a day, not me, I look like a team of horses ran over me. Or was it an RV? (inside joke, My heart surgeon was Dr, Realyvasquez, everyone calls him Dr. R.V.)

I am praying for a safe trip for them and soon. I am loving company for a change.
So it is now time to sleep, You would not think you would be so tired after a day of sewing but I am wiped out. My eyes are tired.
I believe solving the problems of the world wore me out.
Or maybe I got to release a lot of my year long pent up frustrations.
Anyway time to rest.
David is finally showered and relaxing, I think I will join him.
Good night sweet Ones.
