For the girls!

I’ve had a request to update my blog, so here it is! 🙂

I’m now in Valdez – have been since Wednesday. I’m having a very nice time. Barb and I have been getting out on long walks daily, and the weather has been gorgeous. I will try to get some pictures uploaded to the gallery, as Valdez is so much more beautiful than Unalakleet.

My big project since I’ve been here has been to finish a quilt I started about a year and a half ago. It’s a “raggedy” quilt – one side has fringes on every block, and the other side is smooth and looks like a regular patchwork. All the prints are plaids, and it’s sort of cute. Barb is humoring me, because she’s a great sewer, and my seams are totally not lined up. Seriously, it’s almost embarrassing, but I’m going to like it. Pictures to come. 🙂

Bill just flew in from Anchorage last night. He had to do tech stuff for the job fair this week. So, we picked him up and made him grill some chicken for dinner. What a sure sign of spring when the grill is lit!

Tonight Bill Jr. will get back from town, so Bill and I are in charge of dinner. We’re making enchiladas, salsa, and I’m making a black bean salad. I made some creme brulee that had to chill over night, so I’ll try to burn the top of it this afternoon. We’ll see how it tastes.

I understand that Amy and April are keeping busy, doing a little shopping, and I bet having a good time doing girlie things. I think I’ll try to give them, and everyone else back home a call this afternoon or evening.

Hope you’re all well! Happy Easter!
