Don't you believe it. The phone calls never stopped coming. Calls about the car. Oops. There actually is more wrong with it that a quick adjustment. Sigh. Calls about the Other House. Which included calls to American Home Shield about the toilet, conversations with the plumbing company about said toilet, and a call with the plumber about the same dumb toilet. Calls from Servpro. "Is someone there to let us into the house?" "No. I gave you a key." "Oh." Sigh. Also the call to say they are done and the house is dried out. Yippee? By this time I wasn't sure whether to thank the nice man or snarl at him. I did my best not to snarl at Dad or The Tramp when I got calls from them. I'm afraid I did gnash my teeth a bit at the dogs and the washer and dryer. When ever I did get to sit down at the sewing machine between phone calls either an appliance beeped for attention or a dog was scratching at me for something. And they time it all so carefully! Heh.
First off, I was going to get this memory quilt finished. With all the interruptions I'm very glad to have gotten this far! But the borders should be a quick finish in the morning. :-)
Mom and I went to bee yesterday and enjoyed seeing A's fabulous retreat scrap quilt. Too bad we couldn't spread it out fully for a better photo.
The Tramp and I had a wonderful walk home yesterday evening after we dropped Red off at the repair shop in town. Spring is springing but so far the flowering bushes and trees have been rather sparse. I suppose the crazy weather has messed up their blooming schedules. The turtles were out in force.
The willow tree is the first touch of spring green.
The garden is also showing some signs of life besides the daffodils.
There are many new art installations in town. This rather steampunk looking elephant sits in front of the post office. Some better photos here.
The flying house.
An attractive real house. :-)
Our favorite is this horse.
Don't get me wrong. Everyone who has been working on our issues has been very pleasant and helpful. I guess I'm just feeling a bit out of control at this point. Tomorrow I'm going to have to find something fun and different around here to do. As they say, a change is as good as a rest. Though I may have to switch off the phones! :-)

Oh no. I guess on the bright side everything is being repaired. What if that person hadn't peeked in the windows and what if they hadn't called the realtor. You were lucky there altough it would have been luckier i it had never happened of course.
That memory quilt is gorgeous I love those colors and A's quilt is beautiful.
I'm struggling with the art. One or two pieces are fine, but I feel that it's starting to look junky. Between those new purple brown and lime green signs and the art I think there's no focus anymore.
I would almost prefer seeing a sculpture museum, sort of like the NC art museum's outdoor trails.
That horse sculpture is so cool! And I know what you mean about dogs and machines needing attention at different times when you're trying to relax and sew. I swear they have an inbuilt sense and know when exactly it'll interrupt you the most. :-) Tomorrow will be better.
