If you are going to be up at 5:30 in the morning you may as well get something done with the day. And today I was very productive. Two cards done and three daily blocks.

Happy Birthday Regan & Thekla
September 4, 2020
Regan and Thekla celebrate their birthdays on the same day. I miss those times when we all celebrated along with Dad.
I try to make a similar card for everyone who shares a birthday and this is no exception. Some of the elements of these cards are the same, and some of them are different.
I had great plans
Friday, September 3, 2020
I had great plans for today – finish my Hex-Along clue, get out to the library, send out my report for the Hall board meeting, do my daily block and maybe, just maybe, do another birthday card.
I was up at six and things were going very well. The hexies were basted by eight and the plan was to have the pieces stitched together long before lunch. I got the pieces put together and attached three of them to the larger project but when I gave it a second look I realized that two of them were turned the wrong way. So I took them all out and started over. It was past one before I finally finished. I know my time estimates are usually off but this one was really bad.
Once that was done I headed out to the library. I had a book to return and three more to pick up. I plan to do a lot of reading when I go across to Texada next week and fortunately the due dates are the end of the month so I should be fine.
I’ve kind of run out of steam so I’m not sure how much more work I’ll get done. I definitely have to get that Hall report out but after that it is anyone’s guess.
The Break
Author: Marian Keyes
I think this book was a recommendation from either Tracie or Regan.
I’m not sure how I want to rate this one. I enjoyed the story and most of the characters but I didn’t like the ending; I was looking for something different to happen.
About half-way through the book there was a page missing. Fortunately it wasn’t in a critical part of the story. Before I sent it back to the library I attached a note about the missing page; I didn’t want them to think I did it.
Goodread Rating: * * * and a half!
