My husband and I just returned from a whirlwind trip to Oregon so that he could attend a class reunion. We took the pick up and we listened to country music the entire way there and back. Those song writers have the best sense of humor.
I just reviewed my blogs and realized I haven't been very good about keeping up. My friend died of cancer, my daughter graduated from high school, and I attended the Soroptimist International of the Americas Convention in San Francisco. And throughout I didn't write about any of it.
So Oregon - We went so that my husband could attend a high school reunion. I didn't go to the reunion, but I had a great time. Bend was having a Tour of Homes, and we visited 4 of the houses. Two of the houses had quilting rooms. Actually one of the houses was a quilting house. What an incredible house that was. Two of the rooms upstairs were designed just for the quilter who had purchased the home. It was inspiring.
I went to quilting stores, garage sales, and visited with friends and family. It was a very relaxing weekend.

May, June, July
today I finished two quilt blocks - May and June. I have been procrastinating. I cut out the fabric over the weekend. Today I managed to sew both blocks and was quite pleased with myself. They weren't nearly as hard as they looked and I really enjoyed the results. Also today in the mail July's Block arrived. But I leave in the morning for SF and won't be home until Saturday. And the following weekend I will be in Oregon. But I will stay caught up this time.
I also pulled out the projects I started for Halloween last year, and I have every intention of finishing them before October. I will do it. I can do it.
In the meantime I have been praying to the spirits that look out for me, and they have been answering my prayers in their own subtle ways. I know that I am responsible for my life.
I remember the mother of one of my best friends, who was always very religious. She was so excited when her prayers were answered. She had asked the Lord to have a yellow rose bloom on her bush, and it did. Even then I thought it was kind of silly to ask for something that was going to happen inevitably. So of course her prayer would be answered. I guess I just really ask for guidance and for things to fall into place. I realize it is my own efforts that make it all happen. The Power of Intention (the doctor who wrote that book - his name escapes me - Dr. Wayne Dryer?). I believe in the power of intention.
And I intend to finish my unfinished projects and not have more than one BOM waiting to be finished each month!
