This is the block done for my birthday. Quite a bithday it was! It started out early. Actually, it started like a normal work day ... alarm going off at 5:00 am. Time to relax them Sargeant and I left home about 6:15 am to go to the Cop Walk at Brandi Fenton Park. This is the second year we've attended. For $15 we get breakfast, a mile walk, police K-9 demonstrations and feeling good supporting this good cause.
Dropped Sargeant at home; one tuckered pup! Then headed to Quilters Market for BlockBusters. I'd been to Girls Night Out not many hours before and had put aside a number of items so I could claim my birthday surprise ... a discount equal to half my age. It's gettin up there!
Next I headed to the sewing supply store to get the notions needed to make my grandson Nik's baptism outfit. Then to Kampai, my favorite sushi restaurant for some favorite foods to go. Home in time for the Kentucky Derby...only I took a nap! DVR'd the race but haven't watched it yet for I received the kind of phone call no one wants: my grandson Nik had been rushed by paramedics to the children's hospital.
There was nothing I could do but pray and ask my friends to pray. "Thy will be done" was my silent prayer. I had to do something so I began to work on the block. After a while I stopped. I couldn't sew a straight line!
Tonight I finished the block. Nik is home from the hospital, safe and sound, with a good prognosis. I ripped out some seams and finished the block tonight. So many memories in this one block!
