Here’s a nice surprise. In today’s mail was a small envelope, and inside that envelope was another envelope and inside that — a check for $75 — my prize money from the Smoky Mountain Quilt show in Knoxville! whooo hooo! Nothing like a reward to keep you going.

My silly impulse reward? A new lipstick while waiting for my prescription at the drugstore. How girly is that?
