I thawed out banana bread overnight and Michael had that with a couple of eggs for his Sunday morning (9/13) breakfast out on the lanair:  

With his faithful companion:

I spent time in the kitchen, chopping and prepping a bunch of stuff for our dinner:

I always have great ideas for dinner, but then 3:30 comes and it seems like too much work!  I do much better when I can get some/a lot of the prep work out of the way in the morning when I'm fresh....I think that's why I LOVE crockpot soups in the winter....everything done in the morning and I can sew until the last minute in the afternoon  :~).

I headed to the studio with a goal of getting the second QoV basted.  I’ve gotta keep moving ahead on these so that I can load up the library quilt next!!!  As I started working, Lucy was going crazy playing with a yarn ball, and finally exhausted her energy:

Doesn't she look drunk??

When my honey was done with his breakfast, he put together one for me:

I finished up basting and setting up the program in the late afternoon:

so, Michael and I took a golf cart ride to deliver some flowers to a friend who needed a little pick-me-up:  

And Michael also picked another beautiful bouquet for us:  

Our hydrangeas have really been spectacular with many, many blooms for the past 2 years thanks to my honey working on them…..a fact for which I am very grateful!!  

I headed to the kitchen after that to make Elephant Chicken Soup for dinner.  That took awhile, but we were finally eating by 6:30PM.  We both read our books in the living room until about 8:30 when we watched a bit of TV before bed.

My friend Connie got a new addition to her family....she looks so, so sweet:
