How I've been amusing myself for a week.

No, Google didn't take me down, just been busy, or not, doing other things.

Bill has been keeping busy updating all the soft and firmware on his drones. This one looks like it didn't appreciate his efforts.  He is glaring at me with his tongue sticking out. [actually that is a red piece of ribbon on the camera cover to remind Bill to take the cover off the camera before flying it.]

I continue to walk three days a week. Have managed to get in a couple over 10,000 step days. But we will have to walk earlier as it is already hot by 8:30. I got an umbrella to try to keep the sun off me, but it doesn't help too much.We have been having some wild weather. Highs in high 90's then a couple of low 70 as high days. With lots and lots of wind. Bill clocked a couple 56-60 mph gusts in the back yard the end of last week. 

By Thursday we might reach 100!

The wind was so intense and long lasting it stripped all the flowers off of our Palo Verde tree. A couple of years it has bloomed a second time, hope it does this year too. So pretty with its flowers. I took this picture just before the strongest winds, now there are no flowers on it. 

I've been working on the quilt. Here are some of the fabrics I was considering using. Ended up not using the blue and the piece between the the green and the yellow pieces. Sticking with the daisy type flower patterns. 

Here is one of the squares - 16 pieces to each square. Getting ready to sew it. 

I have this set of five squares sewed together. 

It is a good thing we don't use this room to much. I pretty much use all of it when sewing. Especially when I put the ironing board down.

I still have to get some fabric for one set of squares and the borders and binding. Went to JoAnn's the other day and looked around but wasn't sure what fabric I was going to use. Now I have specific colors in mind so will have to make another trip there. 

Also been amusing myself with a couple of really easy puzzles. I work on them while listening to the Golden Knights hockey games on TV. Sure hope they can pull out a win tonight. If they do it will be on the the next set of games.  These were both super easy. 

Now I have started a hard one. Just have the border together and it took me a while. 

Got our rugs we sent out to be cleaned back. The living room looked empty with out the rug. 

Our son brought them over to us on Saturday. The cleaner did a great job on them. I hang out on the couch to the right while watching TV so keep a throw down so I don't spill any thing on the cushions. My M&M's throw. 

Speaking of M&M's - watched the NASCAR road race in the rain Sunday. Strange how the race was cut short just before the fan/NASCAR "Favorite Driver" who was leading was getting ready to make a pit stop. If they are going to race in the rain, run the whole race, don't cut it short because of rain. My favorite driver won one race on Saturday and had a chance to win the Sunday race. Oh well.

Went in this morning for all our medical tests. Got there at nine and out by 11:00 A couple of long tests. I had to walk on the dreaded tread mill. Did pretty good. Both of us had a Nuclear stress test. And I had an ecocardiogram too. Get results June 9th. Hope no problems.

And that is about all that has been going on here.
