Plans were for a relaxing, slow Sunday. I was up watching Le Tour at 4:45 and what a good stage it was ! I was working on my English Piecing Quilt as I need to buy the accent colours before I finish the other 3 stockings.
Hubby , when he finally got up, was working on the trailer and then got his fishing gear out. Where we hope to go, there are lakes filled with Rainbow Trout and the creeks have Brown trout. Maybe I should even bring a lemon ! ES is going to pick up a license today and get YGS his own rod. Then, of course it rained so outside work on the trailer w as suspended.
ED came over with her hiking pants to hem, along with a pair of jeans to hem, a pair of jeans to have the zipper repaired, a Japanese kimono to be hemmed and a top to have repaired along the neckline[ which was a b*&# to do ! I worried about that top, but then thought she couldn't wear it the way it was so if I messed up, it was really no loss. But I got it all done ! I am not a confident seamstress so I do get stressed even when repairing. There is this fear of making a wrong cut , that I measured incorrectly. My shoulders get tensed up so much they actually hurt. Now neither of my daughters can sew. I don't know if they even know how to sew a button or hem anything ? Neither have them have had any interest in sewing or knitting. I asked ED what she's going to do when I am gone ?? When she was in Ottawa she s pent $10 to have a pair of pants hemmed. Now if you get some bargains like I do with jeans, the hemming would cost 3X as much as the cost of the jeans ! 5 changes of thread and now I must reorganize my thread box. It is nice to have the time to do all these little things, instead of just dumping and shoving away when time is a premium.
ED gave YGS a Samsung tablet that she had been given over 4 years ago. He is absolutely thrilled and certainly lets us know about the battery life and the fact that it is a Samsung ! Afterthe hot tub, he and his dad and uncle went off to the nearby park to catch a Pokemon. After supper my town kids went out to play Pokemon Go. At least it got them outside and I think they had fun. I was in bed by the time YS got home.
The rest of the day was spent reading. Good thing we bought all those books at Value Village.
Today our other two grandchildren will be over for 'a couple' of hours though we know it will be longer than that. I'll watch Le Tour, take down the cot in our room, do some handsewing and recheck my lists for camping. Tomorrow we'll do the wash, and go shopping. Or at least that's the plan !
