if you only have a short skinny scrap.   But you really like it   you can cut it and stitch it together to make a 2  1/2  square for  1 or 2 on Faith's Map.

old  urges rise.

We got our Omicron boosters today.  Alyssia and I.   After Pick Up from School when i did meet Ms. Johnson.  As a reward for our making good decisions,  we treated ourselves  to Pho  from  Time Pho  Boba.   Emrie  got Mango Boba.  and then we went a little more of the way along and got Elote Street Corn  from Big Red BarBQ  who has tables out front and sat and EnJoyed.   as the Dalai Lama  has  suggested.  Picnics.  more Picnics  in 10 Questions for the Dalai Lama.  It was AWAY from this Hill and Out into the World.   the vaccinations were from Rite Aid.   We had to wait.  and as we sat,  Humanity came and went and sometimes sat next to us.   All manner of humanity.  2 had dogs.   What i would like to do,  almost more than anything,  would be to be some kind of journalist who could/would be able to    Ask people things.   like    How ARE you?    Who      are you?  

***disappeared last night.  Just now reappeared.    So it goes.

    There’s always a way, eh? That magenta is gorgeous!
    I would love to stop and photograph the people and the world as I see it. I would say, “Hi, I’m a photojournalist doing an expose (or book or article 0r story or…) on _______ (fill in: with how average citizens are getting by/living…feeling…on social moments on whatever…) – may I take your photo? Will you tell me your story?”
    Or something like that. I’ve never thought this out loud, but in my driving each day through so many lost stories.
    I would like to see the backs of your blocks. xo

    Our local Walgreens has turned into the beauty parlor/barber shop….folks tell stories, offer advice, commiserate, while waiting on line for Rx and vaccinations. Shingles shots are done…next is the flu shot.

    Patchwork. Build what you need.
    My doctor suggest I wait another 2 weeks for the booster if I plan to do any holiday visiting. I was going to go Wednesday.

    in looking at some of the old quilts I have, I’ve found many patches where the maker did just that– sew pieces of the same fabric together to make a piece big enough to fit in place. almost a metaphor for life patch it together when we need to
    I wrote on deb g’s blog a thank you to her and you for the log cabin blocks. I started one yesterday and love how easy and fun they are.
