Celebration!

 Today we enjoyed a lunch at our favorite 'deck' at Corky Bells on the St Johns River!
 There was still a lot of sanitizer and disinfectants but we at a meal out and it was wonderful!
Warm and not humid--what a treat!
Bill turned 69 today.
We laughed and laughed at the thought of being in our 60's; 
 sorry but it is a wonder to us.
 The little gator has grown since were here months and months ago! 
 I began quilting the vintage paint brush churn dash quilt on the frame--splashes of paint!
A design by Beany Girl Quilts called Drip!  Perfection!
And the socks did get finished though
 they need wet blocking to get rid of the side 'seams' 
where the magic needle leaves a line.  
Wool is much more forgiving than cotton 
because it has more bounce but these will wet block perfectly!  
Very comfortable and a fun knit! 
Thank you, Jessica!!

  8. How does that happen that we end up in our 60's? Usually I don't feel any older.
