The day Kennedy was assassinated. I was in 5th grade and we all got sent home from school.
It certainly changed us as a nation. I doubt we’ll ever really ever know the real story behind it all.
Today is my Velcade shot so I’m going straight there and back. I thought of going to the gym /library but I don’t really want to be out in the pre-Thanksgiving crowd.
When I get home I am going to bake a pumpkin pie with puree I made last year. I also am going to bake some squash that we grew in the garden. I’m not sure how they’ll come out. It’s a variety we haven’t had before but I figure either they will taste good or the chickens will like them.:)
I went down to our Holiday Market yesterday and picked up some extra things for Thanksgiving like rolls, some deli ham to put out on a veggie tray, ranch dip to make , and other random things. We’re very lucky to have a store that sells lots of organic stuff right in town here. It is more expensive but the convenience sometimes out weighs the cost.
The pool is closed all week so I wouldn’t have a chance to get into Winco anyway. ( Winco is across the street from the pool just for reference.)

I finished my Japanese fabric quilt. I do like the indigo colors. It didn’t come out perfect and some of the quilting material bunched a little after I washed it but I don’t care. It was just a fun project. After Christmas, I’ll put the quilting frame on Facebook no buy group as I don’t plan on doing another quilt. This was just a fun project. I still have some Sashiko patterns to do and will start them now that this done.
Wow! Your quilt is beautiful!
thank you. It certainly is not perfect or even the lines aren’t all straight, but I do love the dark blues!
I agree that your quilt is gorgeous! I was eating lunch in my Jr High cafeteria when they announced over the loudspeaker system that Kennedy had been shot. We weren’t sent home though.
I was in first grade. I remember the teachers in the hallway crying. The next several days we were kept home from school and I was upset because only news was on television.
