Mystery Prize!

This is the place! You made it safely, now do what you
were instructed to do!

In the mire again!

Why am I not blogging? What am I going to write about? These are the triggering questions running through my brain. Whoa wait a tiny minute there oh vegetative brain! The fires are starting to burn through the copious fog.

Let me begin with a bout of "some kinda" nondescript flu. By nondescript, I mean it did not have a bunch of letters and numbers describing it. Just lots of coughing. Now when I say coughing I mean pee your panties and blow a gasket. Then there was a strained lower back muscle. I was in the K-rapper one could say without hesitation!
I suppose you were wondering if I coughed in the crook of my arm so as not to spread the hacking virus. I tried, I did give it to my wonderful friend and she got to cough for two weeks
too.

Now I have obligations to fullfill! Thank goodness there is only one apron to swap!

And for my non-tequila friends... Julie...you will love this stinkin site! http://www.thepartydress.net/

Re-discovery!

I have had a very interesting 10 days. Well some of those days were interesting and exciting the rest were K-rapp! My good friend and I went to Portland to the Quilting Expo with Lynette Jennings as the featured guest artist. It is about a six hour drive from our homes. I had a dry hacking cough the entire way. We chalked it up to the wildfires in our area. The smoke from these fires had blown eastward and we had been breathing it for days. That evening we went to Jenning's lecture. She had a prize for the person closest to "her" birthday. I won! A quilt top with the backing and binding. I am to put it together. That was very nice and I showed my appreciation by exposing all at the event to some sorta virus. I extended my hand to Jennings as an act of thanks and she took it! Whoa if she is sick now I am in deep K-rapp! You know my "dear friend" that I shared a room and car with for three days...Yep she got it! The good thing I can say is...It's not the dreaded h1n1...no fever, no throwing up, no trips to the toilet! Just a great ordinary virus. By the way...I hope I still have a good friend!

Answer to a friend's question!

What the hal-i-but?

When you read my blog entry...mindfulness...do you dwell in the past or what is at hand? Are you repeatedly quilty of bringing up past issues? Do you live each day in the present? How about contributing to the present moment? As I answer this e-mail I now know what to put in my blog!
