KerBloom Quilting Moves Over for a Birthday

LOL.  Yes, Patty you are so right!  I used 5 bobbins yesterday, all I had available to fill with black thread.  So I refilled them and used one last night.

Today is Frank's Birthday and he took off.  But didn't tell me.  So everything I had planned went out the window.   He wanted to go to lunch, we went.  For his birthday he wanted a gun that shot a laser and measured temperatures of what you shot.  Like a cold air duct.

I went to my buddies at Ace Hardware and once they stopped laughing, thy special ordered the gun for me.  The Ace guy said he had gotten one for himself.  I asked how much he used it, and he said for the first week he shot the temperature of everything he saw.  After the first week he ran out of things to  shoot and his wife put it away.

I have a feeling the same thing will happen here.  But I figure that I have rulers I use only for one type of block and I don't make that block every day.  And I got it for him.

Right?

They Are Old As The Hills, But They Make Good Music

Frank, Carrie, Andrew

Since yesterday was Frank's Birthday, and Jason was in town, we met him and his mom and the boys at a place where Rodney was playing.  They have a jam session every Tuesday night.  The place is bad, they have bad service but the music is good!

If you are an alcoholic, this is NOT the place for you.  It took me all night to get one beer, and there was no chance of getting another.  Jason had the Happy Hour Two for One Margarita, and never got his second margarita!

And the place was half empty!

But it was a good time just to be with Jason and the boys.  I don't know why the boys even figured into this, they played on cell phones and x boxes the whole time.

For the first time I used the movie function on my new camera.  My old one had it, but I don't think I ever used it.  And you will be able to see the obvious in the one with Crawfish Pie.  Rodney and 16 other musicians from all over come together every Tuesday night to jam.  They are all retired, old as the hills, but they make beautiful music.  Some are from gospel bands, some from bluegrass and some from Cajun bands.  The blend is incredible.

The musicians all gathered in the corner

Oh, and you will have to tilt your head for the first half of the video.  I didn't know I couldn't flip it later on.  And the lighting sucks.

Rodney is the guy in the end who sings Crawfish Pie.  You can't even see him here, he is way in the right back corner next to the lady in pink.

Franks True Birthday

And I told him that he knows he is old because the first thing on the agenda on the first day of his 60th year is to call the doctor and get an appointment before he did anything else.  Off we go, at 10:30 AM to see the doctor for his cough and stuffy head.

It really does need to be taken care of because of the upcoming cruise and air flight.  We are heading out of the country again soon.

Here he is in his new birthday clothes I gave him.  DiNozzo anxiously awaiting his walk this morning.  And the Hugeaux Grand-Dog is celebrating with us as well today.  He is so excited to have a huge yard to run and chase things in.  Chloe is the reserved Mama Dog Persona who wants to get all the toys and all the treats.
