Yup – worth finding a place to pull off and stand in the wind for…. The view from East Greenbush towards downtown Albany, NY.

As I said earlier, I’ve been working on my pink and green quilt, an inch and a half at a time. I am about one third of the way done sewing the horizontal seams together so I’m more than half way done with sewing the top. I think this photos is a little off colorwise, but the color of the quilt varies a lot depending on the light source. It does give you an idea of the overall look of the quilt though.

I have managed to do a little bit more on the pink and green quilt. 1.5 inches at a time. That’s how it works. Closer and closer to done but it’s slow going. I see a few places that I’ll probably fuss with a bit to make the seams match a bit better. But overall, it’s not as hard as I thought it would be. Probably because I’m not in a mood to go fast. Sometimes that’s a good thing.

Because sometimes, you just need a reminder of what it’s all about.

In case you’re wondering, the changing list of links at the bottom left reflects block stocks I’m currently holding. Yeah, it’s silly, but it’s fun.

I just had to share this ad that my co-worker Jacob shared with us today. I have enjoyed watching it several times. Sit back and enjoy the cog and then watch it again. thanks Jacob!

Meanwhile, my blogshare experience is now up over $2000. The race is on to make as much cash as possible in the next 12 days because when blogshares goes non-beta only one’s cash holdings will remain.

Long long week with many tears and hard moments. We’ve been trying to be extra nice to the rest of the cats – a cat nip party, some treats, some extra scritches. Last night Gus jumped up on the bed and purred and purred and let me snuggle with him for a few minutes before he left again, still purring. I can say that Maggie’s passing made all the other nonsense this week seem pretty small potatoes, which is probably a good thing.
