Getting things done

Good morning!  It's another gloomy day here in Central Vermont, with rain in the forecast, too.  We would all like to see the sun sometime, just to make sure it still works!  Yesterday was quite chilly, but the Friends of the Library's booth at the town Fall Festival went well.  We had a lot of young families stop by for giveaway books.   It was fun being right in front of the skate park which was teeming with kids.

That's Jo, one of the Friends, looking cold.  I had on my fleece jacket covered by my quilted winter jacket and gloves.   We were both happy when our two hour shift was over.  Our booth was right next to the Lions Club booth which was quite busy, too, with kids trying their hands at "corn hole" and picking up prizes.  

Today I'm trying to get things done.  I finished copy editing my friend Alan's book and sent it back to him.  It took me 11 hours over a week, reading it twice, and finding a lot I'd missed on the second pass.  I hope it is what he was hoping for.

I have some laundry going and an Indo-Dutch beef stew ("hache" my Otie called it) bubbling on the stove.   I'll most likely serve it with potatoes and peas.   An apple tart is cooling.  So I am feeling very accomplished this morning!  I'm heading to the quilting room as soon as I fold the clothes from the dryer.  I had an inspiration for Margaret's quilt in the guild Round Robin.  And if I have time, I'll put the last borders on Rows Parade.  Most likely, I'll collapse after lunch and do a little reading.  Have a fun Sunday!
