To Do Tuesday #147

Hello Everyone! Hope your Fourth of July was relaxing. It was my first in Vancouver. I didn’t SEE 👀 any fireworks 🎆 but I sure did hear 👂🏻it. Otherwiser it was a pretty chill day. The weather was overcast but nice. I enjoyed it before the heat 🥵 wave started on the Fifth.

I will be linking up with Carol over at Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday linkup. Check it out.

Not a lot to share this week. I have no idea what happened to the time. All of a sudden it’s July 2025! Nothing real exciting happened this week. Helped Caitlin move from her rental house to her rental townhome. Jannes made it back safely from his job interview in New Zealand. We are having a mini heat wave (but nothing like last years). Yesterday we hit a high of 94F yesterday. Only supposed to be 88F today then we will be back to our normal 70’s. Really not sure what happened to my week. Hmm…

I plan to link up with Carol at Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday. Check it out!

Whew! What a chaotic two weeks! My daughter Caitlin is happily married and getting ready to two weeks of camping (and half marathons) with her new hubby at Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. The wedding day went off without a hitch. It was great to see my grandson Shaun after almost six weeks. Here are a few photos from the wedding day:

With two quilt zoom days, I was hoping to have more to share with you. I only worked on foundation paper piecing on Friday. I meant to do some cutting over the weekend, but was distracted with other chores related to moving to a new home. LOL! Monday morning found me scrambling for things to do during my second quilt zoom day this week. A few that you will recognize and others that I worked on because they were unpacked.

I plan on linking up with Carole at Quilt Schmilt again this week for To Do Tuesday. Thanks Carole for hosting!! Come over and check out our small groups list of projects. Feel free to join in.

Hello from Vancouver, Washington. Thanks for stopping by and checking out all my quilty projects. Didn’t work on as many things this week but still spent a few minutes each day working on something.

Whoo Hoo! I am finally back home. I love traveling as much as I love being home. For once, I actually slept better on the road then in my own bed. I wonder if that has anything to do with the mattress topper I had delivered to my daughters? 😝

I rolled up at my house Sunday night about 9:30 pm after spending the day driving from Vancouver, Washington to San Jose, California. I did a side trip in Salem, Oregon for a two hour shopping spree and a half hour lunch break when I filled up gas for less than $3/gallon. 🏆

Hello from Vancouver, Washington. Took a little side trip yesterday to Multanomah Falls, OR. It was a beautiful sunny day and the only one predicted this week so I took advantage. Did a little hike and some scenic driving including crossing the Bridge of the Gods which crosses the Columbia River between Oregon and Washington. Lovely day topped off by homemade Chicken Pot Pie.

What little I have to share, I will linkup with Carol at Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday.

How is everyone this week? Hope you are all having a good November. Fall is finally really here in California. Rumor has it that we will be having significant storms this week. I forgot what they call them, but sounds crazy fun.

As usual, I will be linking up with Carol over at Quilt Schmilt in British Columbia for To Do Tuesday. I heard that they got slammed by winter storms this past week. Hopefully our northern friends are all doing well. See the link below to join us where we share our goals for the upcoming week and share what we did get done. People have some great projects. I get lots of inspiration from checking them out.

I had two Quilty Zoom days this week but was sick most of the week. If it wasn’t for the quilty days and me dragging my butt out of bed for that, I probably wouldn’t have gotten anything done. I am thrilled to be able to share with you what I did work on.

How is everyone doing this week? Can you believe we are in the third week of October already. We have a beautiful fall day here in San Jose. They are expecting rain next week which hopefully happens so that maybe the fire season will be over.

I will be linking up with Carol @ QuiltSchmilt for To Do Tuesday. I realized I forgot to put the link in last week. See above if you need it. Come join us.

Hello Fall! Love this time of the year! While we do get the trees turning colors, it is just not as much as when I use to live back East. Love all those yellows, golds, oranges, and reds. So fun! The neighborhood is slowly being fully decorated for Halloween. 👻 My neighbors can be so inventive. I have really been enjoying my daily walks.
