Quilt and Lunch

Last night, I finished sewing the binding on by hand on the second baby quilt. Today I stopped at Subway and picked up a sandwich and some cookies and headed down to Fort Settlement  Middle School to have lunch with my favorite teacher. I brought the quilt along as well sinceTaylor will be going to the baby shower next week.

I really like the way it turned out. Annemarie had used Miss Penny's special formula to make the binding before she left.

Drought Strikes Brazos Bend Park

We took a picnic lunch to Brazos Bend Park today. Then realized that our park pass had expired in October and had to buy a new one. We didn't use it as much as we should have this past year.

Right before the entrance there was this idyllic field of flowers. The yellow and pink were so pretty together I had Sneed stop so I could get a photo.

Some Whistling Ducks. The water is so low they are standing. They would fly up and land further out only to find it wasn't any deeper than where they had been.

Houston British Motor Expo at La Centerra

A fine 1949-50 Riley. One of 50/300 left in the world. Current owner brought it from England in 1975. The white vehicle is an Allard.

The featured motorcar was the MG. Here are 2 examples. The one on the top is has a turbo charged engine. The bottom one is a 1980 MGB bought in Houghton, England. The owner, standing directly behind the car, has maintained the car in its original condition sans any restoration since he bought it. A one owner car.

Our two fine vehicles

Wildflowers and a Praying Mantis

On the way home from the ball game, I stopped to take a photo of the wildflowers. When I got home, Sneed was outside and came in to tell me that there was a Praying Mantis on the left front fender of my car. It does look as if it is praying.
