All my family is busy

 I'm almost done with yet another quilt wall hanging that I don't like.  Sooner or later I'm going to learn how to do the various steps so my finished product gives me some satisfaction. Not today, though!

I got a few things I ordered from Amazon so I'm going to work on applique next. I received a pressing sheet, some steam and seam light sheets and some light wt interfacing that you use with an iron.  I've got videos to watch on youtube to keep me focused in the right direction.  I think I knew this before but I forgot....I pulled up Youtube on my roku device last night and I can sit in my recliner with my feet up and watch video after video. All the ones I've looked at before when I did searches are already there waiting for me to watch again. Plus the ones I submitted myself. Gonna be fun.

I also signed up for PBS passport on the roku. Only $5 a month and it will fill the void when I'm discouraged at not finding anything worthwhile on all the various channels I get. Not just cable (which is notoriously awful--except for golf and TCM) I have Amazon Prime, Hulu, Netflix, Disney+, Peacock, Tubi, pandora, Iheart music, roku channel, and Pluto. You'd think I could find something I like with that variety but no....not me.  I guess I'm just too fussy.  Whatever.  P:rime is the only one I pay for thank goodness.

I have turned to reading a bit more and I'm pleased with that. (when I can stay awake) Right now I've got one in the works called Drowning Ruth and I just started Canibals & Missionaries by Mary McCarthy. Course who knows if I'll even finish them as I have half a dozen started in the basket near my chair.

I got $40 worth of coupons in the mail today to use at the farmers market instead of cash. That'll be handy dandy.  They're good for food, certain honey, and herbs.  I applied through the senior nutrition program as I'm low income.

I went for a half hour walk today but it was pretty hard on the old bod so tomorrow I'll go a shorter distance and use my walker instead of walking sticks so I can sit down if I need to.  I do plan to force myself to follow through with this regime.  Especially since my appetite has picked up and I can't seem to get enough food. haha  Nothng new there.

My daughter, Mary, and her husband, Andy, are busy busy busy as they prepare for their relocation to Vancouver, WA at the end of July. Pods were delivered today to be filled and stored until they're into their new house.

Today is my granddaughter's wedding day. Maddie and Ants eloped to the Oregon coast and I can't wait to show off her dress.  Talked to Jenni this morning and I'm looking forward to when Wayne can bring me my single bed and take away the double I have now. I left it at her house but I really need the space so want to trade them out. Also want her to bring the large computer I left there as this laptop "acts up" now and again.  I sometimes think I might like an Ipad but I don't know.  Definitely have to look into purchasing a scanner, though. I miss not having a scanner.

I think Saturday Mary G. and I will drive to Marrowstone Island for a picnic at East Beach. I need to drop off a birthday present for my brother, Les, who lives in Nordland and I'm hoping to find some rocks to paint at the beach.

I thawed out a small amount of ground beef this morning so I could whip up a meat loaf. Gonna fix some instant mashed potatoes to go with it since I got a free box from a neighbor. I don't usually buy instant potatoes but I do need to use it up.  Think I'll make a salad too. And for dessert? Ice cream. Oh boy!

I ordered a small fan on Amazon the other day. Decided after that heat wave ordeal, I needed at least one more so I wasn't having to switch from room to room.  I'll probably keep the latest one near my sewing machine and run it at night, as well, to help me sleep.

Here's a picture taken at Mary G's granddaughter's baby shower last week. Mary will get a 2nd great grandson this month. This is Mary, her daughter, Kathleen, her granddaughter, Brittany, and her g.grandson, Flynn.
