You All Said “Appreciate the Time”

So I did. Of course, what you said, “Appreciate the time with your mom.”

This is the first year since I’ve been watching baseball that I’ve been here in the USA for the middle week of July when they have the All-Star Break and something they call a Home Run Derby. (Of course, before that, ‘baseball’ was going on - I just didn’t watch it).

All that means, is that some baseball players who have a lot of power, have a contest - who can hit the most home runs in a limited amount of time.

They have a play off.

Last night was this year’s contest.

So, we watched it/listened to it as much as possible. Mom doesn’t have ESPN, so we did what we could with what we could find on You Tube. That was, until those streams were taken down!

And that being said, we stayed up later than normal, watching this contest, which was going on in Colorado.

For those of you who wondered - a guy named Pete Alonso, from the NY Mets, won. As much as many of you think it’s a waste of time, the winner gets a million dollars!.

All in all - this is so ‘not quilting’ related - but I am trying to take your advice and “remember to enjoy this time”. Certainly, I’m starting to get antsy about getting back to Poland. I need to remember to fully enjoy these last three weeks here!

I’ve been going full steam on other things as well - all the sewing, designing and helping out Rachael in the store, along with being here with mom as she slowly recuperates.

It is also time for me to make a couple of things for my granddaughters. I have the patterns and a store full of fabric - so I’ll be getting going on those things soon. If I remember, in general, sewing for children is faster than making quilts, so I’m hoping I can get them done rather quickly! The girls are growing so fast, however, it’s hard to keep up with them!
