I have been a companion volunteer for Hospice for the past few months. I sit with my patient on Sunday mornings while her family attends church together. Today when I arrived, the Granddaughter, her primary caregiver, told me she was staying home from church so that I could give her some quilting lessons! She has an embroidery machine, and had embroidered Pooh designs on 15 squares, and was ready to try to put them together. A new baby was coming home from the hospital today to join the family, and the quilt was meant to be a baby gift. So I started my day with teaching someone how to trim blocks, line them up, and sew them together. Gotta love getting a new person into quilting!
When I left their house, I was amazed by how beautifully, gorgeously, wonderful it was outside, so I headed home, loaded up the hubster and his lawn chair, and off we went. First stop was his favorite little restaurant in Shepherdstown, WV where he had a bowl of won ton soup, and I had a yummy California roll. He ate all his soup and ordered a bowl of miso soup to go. We're making progress! He ate a bowl of soup last night, too.
The we drove just a couple of miles to the
C&O Canal towpath. I've been needing to get out of the house, and couldn't resist taking a long walk today. I left hubby here, and I went off for a solo walk.
I saw this when I was a few feet from getting on the towpath. I asked if I could take his photo, and he maneuvered around so that I could get a shot.
Then I set off with my walking stick and my camera!

The towpath was quite popular today,with walkers, runners, and bikers. There were couples, singles, and families. I'm glad the temperatures are turning cooler, so I can start taking advantage of this wonderful park again.
Counting my blessings.....Sunny
