Fernando Torres - The King ( 26,27,28,29 goal )

Sports has become big business, but, what I really like about soccer/football, in Europe is the players seem to really enjoy the game. You would never see such happiness from players in the US, and I wonder why?

Cancer and Stay for the Credits on Walle

Bald is Beautiful-the upside of cancer

Jennifer has finished the radiation (30 days) and only has 6 chemo treatments to go. We spent most of the month of the June in the hospital because of pain and infections. Instead of finishing in August, it looks like now it may be September/October. My daughter is holding up nicely and if it's possible to settle into the situation, I think we have-such is life and the cards we've been dealt...yada yada yada.

On those few days when she feels well enough to participate in normality, we grab it with all the gusto of a PMS insomnia induced night at the sewing machine-you quilters and sewers know what I'm talking about.

Such was yesterday and we went to see a movie-Walle. Jennifer liked it and I did too. Pixar is a master at saying a lot without saying anything.

Warning:::We left before the credits finished and now I'm hearing, you need to stay and watch the credits. Apparently this is a trend in movies-not just funny outtakes, but, essential to the plot. Soooo if you go, wait till the very end and tell me what we missed!

Shhhhh.....I'm working on a baby quilt and I think she's watching, so I'm going to show it when it's finished.

Happy Fourth of July Everybody!

I would invite everyone to post pictures of their patriotic quilts if they have one. This is the closest thing I have to a patriotic quilt. I made it in one day, on, of all days, 9/11/01. Of course, there's not much in explanation needed for the inspiration. It seems that day we were sucker punched.

It had hung in our church for about a year, and first people complained about the the "In God We Trust" banner, so that was removed. Then someone thought we did not need to have a flag in the church lobby. So it was removed, I never did understand that explanation.

A New Blog, to me at least...smile

Annie's Quilting Stash is a delightful new blog, to me at least. It's probably been around for a while, but, since the internet consists of 59 kazillion thousand blogs, it's no wonder I'm just now finding it.

It's always good to add another great sourse of inspiration to my list at the right.

Happy Quilting!

The Winds are Blowing and they Call him El Nino!!!

Fernando saves the day...smile

Fernando Torres wins the Man of the Match Honor


SPAIN WINS THE EURO CUP 2008!!


Woo Hoo!!!

It's Spain against Big Bad Germany

The rain was pouring and the lightning was striking, but, striking the ball was not for my man Fernando. He didn't live up to his potential today. He needs a little more seasoning and I think it's perfect for him to play the first 2/3 of the match, then let Gueaza come in as a finisher. The most effective player, at moving and advancing the ball today was Sergio Ramos.

Who would have guessed Spain 3 to 0 over Russia?
