a lot of stitching that doesn't  "show".  And then,  began Kantha.  Why?  (as Mrs. Volfie asks)

i wondered too,  but as it happened,  i thought….to try to hold it together,  even tho it's confused…to try to hold it together.  yes.  ok.

and this was two days "straight" of stitching…a first.  I thought of Judy Martin.   And i got a lot of stitching done and it made me feel GOOD,  but also,  i realized that i NEED to get UP and MOVE.  Just sitting curved over a Cloth doesn't feel healthy to my body.  I need to MOVE.  To stretch my legs and back.  So some kind of Balance, again.  I'll begin looking at that tomorrow.  This evening,  after feeding and giving water,  I ran with Tay.  Threw her ball and then tried to beat her to it, which of course i couldn't,  but it felt good.  She was ecstatic.  I think about when there is life on that Hill.  All this will take care of itself.  But till then,

    Grace it is coming along beautifully. Greek yogurt and not the low calorie kind might be something you could try.

    I didn’t know about Mrs Volfie until you mentioned her. I have looked her up and fine those videos so great.
    Till then, that is what is now. My dog loves to play and I don’t do it enough.
    I also am sad about Texas tonight. I am sad about so many things, but the granddaughter is ready to pop with her baby. No news yet and I am reminded again about how we continue and how generations keep going. The baby will wear something home from the hospital that his great great great grandmother made. Isn’t it amazing how it continues?

    A poet friend, Janet Kenny has this to offer all of us:
    Time
    And now that time is short how much I waste
    yet never waste for time cannot be stored
    nor emphasised to concentrate its taste.
    Ephemeral — impossible to hoard
    those vanished moments. Negligence brings more
    than effort. Let my living come and go
    like water on a shifting sandy shore.
    I am most here when going with the flow.
