A brr Sat.

and I'm pretty sure I solved the latest issue with the Asian quilt.  Don't know why I keep running into these road bumps with this quilt but I shall persist and persevere!!!

Yesterday we had such a wonderful morning at St. Peters.  It was grandparents day and George and I and Terry and Lou went to the mass at 8:30.  It was a very moving experience, William and Katie were so happy to see us.  That does warm your heart.  The kindergartner kids, 1st graders and 2nd graders each sang a song for us, telling us how important we are in their lives there wasn't a dry eye in the grandparents section.  Very heart warming.  We went to the gym afterwards for coffee and donuts and to socialize with the other grandparents, then we went to the grand kids classrooms.  William's teacher showed a special project he did, sent and attachment to her computer and she put it up on the "white board".  We were so proud of him.  Then we went to Katie's class room where we were assigned the task of helping her with a spelling quiz.  I made a notation on the words I had her change so the teacher wouldn't blame her if they were wrong?  Katie gave me one of her awesome smiles.  She is such a beautiful girl, inside and out.  Then we had a math problem, thanks to quilting I was able to show her how to connect the dots without taking the pencil off the paper by drawing a quarter sq. triangle block.  The second problem was moving 2 of 4 sticks to reverse an object.  Now who in quilting has never done that.  I think we passed.  LOL  All in all a very memorable, beautiful day.

Wish this forgetful grandma had remembered her camera.  Yack!!!!!
