"They say it's your birthday....."

One summer, our oldest son, Pete was playing at a music event at Laguna Seca Racetrack outside of Monterey, CA. So, John and I flew down, and our other son, Dave and our daughter, Lydia flew down also for a few days. It just so happened that it was during the week of John and Lydia's birthday - July 28th (she was born on her Dad's birthday). The kids were all staying at a motel closer to the venue and John and I were staying longer at a place in Seaside. Well....on the 28th, we showed up in their motel parking lot in the convertible we'd rented with the Beatles' tune, "They say it's your birthday...we're gonna have a good time...." blasting at way too many decibels! (What were we thinking?) Anyway, we proceeded to have a wonderful family day, and we DID have a good time! We didn't have quite that much fun yesterday, but it still was a nice day! (Next year, John's informed me that he's going to be singing "Will you still need me, will you still feed me....." yup, he'll be 64!

It was a good day at Fab-Etc also. I'm trying to get things in some semblance of order, because John and I are going to Chelan for a couple of days. I am making some progress, but not a lot (sorry, guys!) A few notions came in yesterday, including some silk thread in about 10 colors for you hand applique lovers. And Jan (not "our Jan") came in with this great table topper she had made using our Shop Hop block pattern - isn't it great?

Okay, I think the coffee's ready, so I'm going to go get some and get ready for another fun day in my little corner of the fabric world! Today is graduation day for Diane's Beginning Quilting students...they all did such a great job on their first project. Hope your day is fantastic!
