Hanging at moms
Apr 04
Today is our second day at my moms place in Othello. Coming here is always interesting. I like to come because my mother is here and even though we drive each other crazy sometimes I love spending time with her. What’s sort of weird is to go to Wal-Mart, the local grocery store and hang out, and see people I went to school with working there. I don’t mean to sound snobby but I realize just how far away from an “Othello” life I lead. Sometimes I come and realize that I’m on a different plane than the people I see when I’m in my home town. I look around an reminisce about the times I had growing up in Othello and how much I loved it but the place and people have changed and yet it’s like they’re suspended in time. It’s very weird.
Today mom and I headed to Moses Lake to get the batting and backing for the quilts I made for our bedroom and the guest room. It seemed like we were there forever this morning but it was worth the time to pick just the right fabrics. Once we were done we had to go back to Othello and piece together the backing and then cut, fold and iron the binding for the lady doing my quilts in Royal City We talked design and all for a while. I really think the quilts are going to turn out super cool. I can’t wait to get the quilts back. I was surprised to find out that they’ll be done for my mom to pick them up the first of May so I’ll have them when she, Bob and Julie all come down in May. I’m so super excited. So I’ll get the quilts and my new ring, what could be better than that 
Today was a great day.
Tomorrow, back to Portland and building the raised herb garden and getting the garden ready, there’s another project I can’t wait for. Last year was super fun growing and harvesting food. This year we’ve got a better plan together. I got this cool book about square foot gardening and how to maximize your garden and yet get great results so we’re going to implement that strategy and try to have a garden all season. I can’t wait.
