What is the Sunday Salon?
The Sunday Salon is a place to link up and share what we have been doing during the week. It's also a great opportunity to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there.
Busy week.
Sewing Retreat. Spent the night with my son and his family after the retreat. Our grown granddaughter came to visit after I got home. Swam. Writing class in Galveston. Swam again. Met my sister and her husband in Houston for dinner. Took a field trip with friends to the new bookstore in Galveston. Went to Brenham to the Blue Bell Creamery with a group from the senior center. Attended a lecture in Galveston on The World's Most Difficult Poem. Celebrated our great-nephew's first birthday.
Whew.

What I Posted Last Week Here at Readerbuzz:
I began to list 3 Good Things every day during the pandemic. Now I've established a regular routine of writing down my 3 Good Things. Here are 3 Good Things from last week:
Good Thing #1:
The quilt I made
at the Sewing Retreat.
Good Thing #2:
A new-to-me butterfly
I saw in East Texas:
Red-spotted Admiral
Good Thing #3:
At the Then and Now Bookstore
in Galveston
The quilt looks beautiful. The Waste Land is an interesting choice of reading. I remember reading it in high school. It still seems edgy even though it’s something like 100 years old. I love the idea of all t hose butterlies!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting the Sunday Salon… mae at maefood.blogspot.com
I love the quilt! Sounds like a busy week.
ReplyDeleteThat butterfly looks like a black Swallowtail. I've seen one this summer in the backyard.
ReplyDeleteI thought at first it was a Spicebush Swallowtail. Apparently this species of Admiral mimics the swallowtail in its appearance.
DeleteAmazing copyist!
DeleteThe butterfly I saw in our backyard has the fancy tail of a swallowtail. Your Admiral's tail is not so detailed.
DeleteThat's quite the busy week! Are you having a more chilled-out weekend now? Hope you get some fun reading time in, either way!
ReplyDeleteI hope to relax a bit after the birthday party.
DeleteWow it sounds like a great, busy week! I love the colors in the quilt and it looks like you did a fabulous job!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a full and tasty week. Beautiful quilt! About the world's most difficult poem (still!): I performed The Waste Land a few years ago on the centennial of its publication, at the Pawling Library in NY, with theater notable Roger Hendricks Simon. I had to study every reference and definition and it was one of the most glorious experiences of my life.
ReplyDeleteYou've had one heck of a crazy week with family, quilting, writing, dining! I absolutely adore your quilt. The colors are so alive and I really love the pattern!
