Fair Trade For a Missing Remote!

20180618_171317
I have been unable to find the missing gate remote. No Clicker Anywhere!

I have nearly disassembled the van, searched under seats, in between seats and the center console, in the doors � everywhere.

I have NO idea where it ended up, but I�m afraid I�ll have to admit defeat on this one thing.

At some point it slid off my visor into the black hole of the Quilter's Bermuda triangle.

There are other �generic� remotes out there that can be programmed to work with this gate � it�s just the principle of the thing.

And the fact that I can�t resolve in my mind just what happened keeps it circling round and round and round � there is no closure other than to accept that it is gone.

I think there is a life lesson in that, don�t you?

Sometimes there is no reason why something is gone � it just is. It�s not worth stewing about.

But once the antique mall folks said �Nope, nothing here in our lost and found�..� I made a beeline to the back corner to see if something I saw earlier was still there.

Veterans Remembered, and Veterans Day Observed.

This is my lovely Grandmother - Mary Margaret Malcolmson Wilkinson Buckbee. While yesterday, November 11th, 2018 was the traditional day for Veterans Day, Veterans Day is observed as a state and federal holiday in 2018 TODAY Monday, Nov. 12th this year. A federal holiday means that local, county, state and federal offices and agencies are closed. Which includes the Post Office � but not Quiltville! Yesterday was a busy travel day for me, on the way to the Indianapolis airport by 7am, making my connection in Atlanta and home by early afternoon. It didn�t give me much chance to write a veteran�s memorial post the way I wanted to, so like the federal agencies mentioned above, I�m observing TODAY and keeping these folks in my thoughts. While not a typical veteran herself, my grandmother was raising small children while her husband, my grandfather was in the US Navy. This picture was taken in 1943 when grandpa was serving as a Naval Officer in the South Pacific. She occasionally earned m...

It was a Bad Hair Saturday. But it was a good quilting day! Mona and I pushed it to the max as we quilted SIX projects � SIX! And by the time she left, I had pulled out a seventh � something that had been hanging around since 2004. We were on a roll, and there was no time like the present to do it, and no reason to stop this quilting train. Did You Click to Read the Whole Story?

When All Goes Awry, SEW!

Sometimes you just gotta say �It is what it is!� and let it be what it is. Such was the case yesterday � because things happen. When the Quilter�s Date Keepers and Quilty Pencil Sets were arriving, I took inventory of what I had in the shipping supplies department, and quickly placed a reorder for my usual Amazon Prime bubble mailers. They are usually here in two days, the shipping is free with prime, and we�d be good to go � they would arrive after our 4th of July holiday. Only problem was � ONE out of the 8 cases arrived, and following tracking numbers showed that the other 7 got waylaid along their route somehow, and did not arrive yesterday. It was one of those days where I was also racing the clock � would the remaining cases arrive by the time I ran out of the ones I already had on hand? Did You Click to Read the Whole Story?
