Monday Stuff On the Way to Other Stuff: Tired...But Home

Got back home from the Cheyenne gig late Sunday afternoon -- just in time to miss the crowd streaming into the Broncos game at Mile High. Blustery winds made the trip home, pulling the trailer, interesting. The Brick is an expert driver, though, so it wasn't bad. 

I love coming to Cheyenne for the Heritage Quilters show! These women have won my heart over the years, and I've grown very fond of them. 

Their quilts are wonderful, too. (You'll see some of these later in the week.)

Monday Stuff is a little sparse this time...but I promise I'll make it up to you.

Lemon butter -- six minutes in the microwave, and you've got this canny sister to lemon curd. Wonderful on toast and ini tarts. (From My Abundant Life)

A very cool (and easy) way to sew circles and curved seam designs...with coffee filters! (From Quilterwoman)

The Benjamin Harrison campaign quilt went for only $1200.  A real steal.

Food for a crowd -- 26 people.  (From Moneysaving Mom)

How you fish in British Columbia -- if you're a native.  (From Travel with Kevin and Ruth, who are currently driving through). Also:

Forest fires and a little-too-friendly visit from a bear.


More, after I unpack, do some wash and start getting last week's appraisal reports fleshed out. 

Have a great week yourself.


Update: Did the Broncos win? Naaahhhh...lost by one point to da Bears.



Thanks, Pinterest

We were driving North from Denver to Gillette WY on Sunday afternoon too! Probably saw you, but did not know it! "smile" The wind was a bit much and I wondered about all the 5th wheels and pull trailers we saw. There was an 18 wheeler accident at the interchange of I-25 and I-70 at Cheyenne, glad you missed it! Good to be home always!

I should have waved when you went by! :)

When it's windy, you just take it slower...or pull over and wait it out. (Preferably at Johnson's Corners, where they have wonderful cinnamon rolls and huge doughnuts with good coffee.) Fortunately, it was bearable. I'm glad we missed that 18-wheeler accident, too...it must have happened not long after we passed that intersection. It wasn't there when we went through.

We had thought the Broncos game was on at 7, so figured we'd miss the traffic. Instead, because it started at 3 p.m., we got caught up in the latecomers. Ah well.

Thanks for writing!
