Just daydreaming about what my next quilt is going to be... Have just a bit to do and the Packer's quilt will be done. Then I am thinking I might put one of the tops on the frame, like the Paducah Swap or maybe my Roll Roll Cotton Boll.
I also need to start on the quilts for the nursing homes at Christmas. That will sneak up on me fast. It always does.
When I went home for lunch today I was just a few blocks from home when I got stuck at a railroad crossing waiting for a train. The gates were going down just as I pulled up to it, so I put the car in park and proceeded to count the train cars... This has been a passtime of mine for years, living in a rural community where it's pretty frequent that you get stopped by a train. This particular train had three engines and every car was a trailer transport with a double stack unit on it. Some were Maersk Line, like what go on the big ocean liners. There were 142 trailer tran cars. I often speculate about what is in those containers and how much $$$ worth of goods is passing before me.
Next Saturday we are planning to go to Arthur. I'm looking forward to it! Hope the weather is nice.

When I lived in a couple of town where we waited on trains, I used to count the cars too!--and imagine stories about the freight!
Ooooooo, I wish I could meet you in Arthur!
Can't wait to go to Arthur!
