Kitten and Quilt Update

We are going to have a beautiful weekend here!  It is sunny and expected to be in the middle 60s.  Just like spring.  I may try to go out and enjoy but first must finish my quilt homework.  The quilt class is going well so far but the square we learned this past Wednesday was difficult.

I have a picture of the one square that I made after 2 hours of class.  I like the square, I'm happy with it, it is the correct size, I just thought I'd accomplish more.  The other students in class are at the same place I am.  They also finished one square and they all look nice.  As soon as I finish writing here I am going to start on homework so I'll have tomorrow if I need more time.  I have to make 2 more squares.  Without the teacher being with me!

I haven't mentioned the kittens much lately but they are doing well after about 1 month with us.  Sophie finally emerged from under the desk in the office and made her way to under the chair in the living room.  She is venturing out more and loves to rest on the couch when she's not snuggled in with her brother.  She is still a little wary but if you have patience and let her come to you she is very loving.

Cody has never been wary and is pretty big, they are 8 months old now.  He loves the chair in the living room and usually is stretched out taking up all the room.  Of course that's where I usually sit and where his older sister Bandera likes to be with me, so we still have some growling and hissing occurring.  Cody still thinks she's just kidding. 

The pictures are from yesterday's afternoon nap time and Bandera is in front of the chair in the sun.  She has always been pretty small and about half the size of the kittens now.  She would have liked to have been on the chair, in the sun, but Cody was there and she's not about to share with the monster kitten.

Yesterday morning I went to a new Bible study that I started attending last week.  It's a 7 week course titled About My Father's Business by Regi Campbell.  I am enjoying it so far, we meet from 7:30 to 8:30. 

After that I had to come home to wait for the oven repair person again.  He suggested that we needed a new part last time since the oven shuts down when I use self-cleaning.  He installed that and hopefully that will fix the auto shutdown after cleaning.  If not, he did show me how to reset it which will save me a $120 service call each time!  I assured him that as much as I enjoyed seeing him, I'd like to avoid any further meetings.

I also had a meeting with a potential new customer yesterday afternoon.  I went to the house to meet with most of the family.  I met dad, the 11 year old, the 10 year old and got a glance at the sleeping 2 year old.  Mom was working.  They are pretty busy with traveling baseball, swim meets, work, school and life in general.  I assured them that I could help by taking some of the stress out of dinner time.  Since they all get in at different times I am going to package the food so it's convenient for their schedule. 

So now I am off to finish homework.  My friend Kevin needs to borrow a chafing dish so she'll call when she's ready to drop by.  I also have to plan next week's menu.  Last night and tonight I had "whatever" since my husband is at a retreat this weekend.  Last night I just had simple steak and potatoes.  Tonight I am planning on sea scallops since that's something my husband does not enjoy.
