Quilts

I’ve made several quilts that I have sold on Etsy.  I’m just recording those quilts here.  Again, it may be boring to you, so you don’t need to worry about viewing it!

Quilt Tops

I’ve been making quilt tops and selling them on Etsy.  I haven’t been very good about keeping a record of what I’ve been making, so I’m loading several of the pictures I have onto the blog…   It may be a little boring to you, so don’t feel that you need to view this!

Completed Projects…

Do you remember this post of last September?   Well, I’m pleased to report that Mike and I have been working on several of these projects AND they are now complete!

1.  Nailing up the door frame – CHECK.

2.  Extending our sprinkling system – CHECK 

Mike hand dug all of these trenches. 

I am so impressed with my husband!

3.  Hanging up this picture - CHECK

4.  Painting around the trim of our bedroom closet – CHECK

5.  Repairing the strip that came off our bathroom sink – CHECK  (completed many, many months ago!)

Now, what is our next project?  Well… we are going to do a little R & R.  Mike is going to continue working on his second novel and I’m going to read a few books.  We have no more projects scheduled until the fall, when we plan on painting the front room.  We just need to have it cool enough so we can work.  We’ll probably start this in early October, after we’ve returned from vacation (Mike’s reunion and the Hearst Castle!)

Moab Day Trip!

Mike arose this morning (after 10:00am) and said, “Let’s drive to Moab and go to the Chinese Buffet for lunch!  Well, I immediately accepted.  Mike spoke with his mom and she quickly agreed as well.  So, here’s a synopsis of our trip to Moab!

Out the door!

Lunch at our favorite Chinese Buffet in Moab

(It’s probably the ONLY Chinese Buffet in Moab!)

Sidney's Fortune:  Your charm has inspired a secret admirer

.

Mike's Fortune:  Soon wedding bells are in a family member's future.  (Okay, Jeff, Nathan, Ryan, Stacey, or Alishea, do you have anything you are wanting to announce to us???)

Caroline's Fortune:  Time makes one wise.  Ask advice from someone older than you!  (Okay, anyone older than 87 who wants to give Caroline some advice!?!?!)



We drove down the road to Castle Valley, along the Colorado River.

 

Caroline mentioned the ‘River Spring’ about 1/4 mile down this road.  She and Doug would go there when they were dating.  We stopped and I filled up my water bottle!

We drove Caroline over the ‘new’ bridge that was recently completed.  It is at the north end of town over the Colorado River.

We bought gas.  At $3.42 a gallon, we thought it was a steal!  (Gas in Blanding is $3.72 a gallon.)

Every trip means a trip to the Quilt Shop.  This trip was no different!

We went to the Moab Cemetery and found the gravesites of several family members.

Mike with his Grandmother, Marjorie D. Christensen.  Marjorie died in 1930, when Mike’s dad Doug was only 9 years old.

Mike with Granddad Christensen’s (Butch) headstone.

Other Goodman relatives…

Severina Christensen was Mike’s Great-grandmother.  She was the 2nd wife of Christian Lyngaa Christensen.  We had been wondering where she was buried because her husband is buried in Monticello.
