The ladies from church met at my home for a day of quilting. Some of the ladies cut blocks while others sewed them together. We’ve just about finished a twin size quilt top. We’re a small group but we got quite a bit done. A young neighbor girl also came to help. I don’t believe she knows the Lord so I was excited to have her visit. I pray that we can influence her towards the Lord.
I provided lunch for the ladies. I spent most of Wednesday in the kitchen. I love to cook!
I made a couple batches of homemade bread sticks (recipe is from Laine’s Letters), a big pot of homemade chicken vegetable soup, red cabbage slaw with walnuts and celery (recipe from Grannyfox), applesauce cake and banana muffins. Emma Lee brought strawberry jello and artichokes. My daughter in love, grandchildren and our new office assistant for the business joined us, too.
Saturday is my grandsons birthday. If it rains the party will be moved to our home. I’ll make a large bowl of macaroni salad for the barbecue. Seems like just yesterday that his Daddy was turning 5 and now he is nearly 30. Where does the time go!

Sounds like a good day, Georgene. And I know what you mean about your son just turning 5 and now he’s 30. Mine is almost there too and it scarcely seems possible. You are richly blessed to have such a nice family.
That sounds like a lo of fun. I’ve tried quilting a few times, but I’ve never gotten really good at it. As I’ve gotten older my fingers don’t work so well on the hand quilting as they did when I was younger. RYC- I was talking about a household binder as in FlyLady’s Control Journal. They usually have different sections for schedules, menues, addresses, emergency info., and so on. It can be anything you want it to be. Is that what you meaant by a notebook for cleaning?
Sounds like you ladies had a really productive day. I’ll say a prayer for your young neighbor girl.
A very Happy Birthday to your grandson.
Have a blessed weekend & God keep you safe, healthy & happy. HUGS

Anxious to hear all about your grandson’s birthday…With much love and many prayers, Paula
