LSNED – Learn Something New Everyday/September 2024
Sept 1 -Yesterday was not at all as I’d intended. Went To B&N to pick up a couple books – by same author. A quick once over, looks like each will be a “ good read”. Tho’ I say to myself: time will tell. Other errands included Giant & Shopper grocery store runs. Considered “TarJay” (Target) and Office Depot stops – they are next door to each other but decided: “ Nah!” Once home, decided to take a walk – weather t’was nearly perfect for a leisurely afternoon stroll through the neighborhood . Trees, Flowers and Sky perfectly “autumnish”. I was intrigued and enchanted by all the “Kamala for President “ signs in folks’ yards, on cars, etc. This is Washington DC, the Nation’s capital …
Sept 2 /Labor Day
My goal this month is to “learn something new everyday and to document that learning.” Not so sure I did that on Day 1. To review today :
A – During Covid -days & months of shutdown, METRO buses ran true to their schedule. I saw them traveling South/North on Rhode Island Avenue – US Route 1! Rain. Shine. Snow. Sun. Holiday. Workday. M-Sun. COVID. Seven days a week. 52 weeks a year. Today is a holiday; the buses are still at it!
B – Watched Missouri Star Quilter – Misty’s – four-star quilted Christmas Stockings Tutorial … thinking I may make. Also reminds me of the Christmas I painted plywood ornaments for my nephew Miekel and niece, Cissy*… 55 years ago!!! Is my Quilting/Stitching MOJO returning??? *My namesake tho’ we call her Cissy…
C – Enjoyed a long Zoom chat with my friend Pat. We’ve known one another for 34 years and still counting. She and I made our first trip to Sisters in 2009 to see the Gees Bend Alabama Quilters. Today, a friend, Donna, says all lodging in Sisters, OR in July 2025 is booked! EEEK! Why one wonders? Answer: 50th Quilt Show! An interesting development for which I think there’s a solution…fingers crossed…
Here’s to September!
Cheers ~

Love that sign! I’ve been seeing lots of Harris for President and Harris Walz signs pop up around the neighborhood — and none yet for you-know-who.

Thx Kat. So far, I’m “re-learning” a few things I once upon a time tho’t I knew how to do…it’s more of a “use it or lose it” proposition …or perhaps “old age”?

Love that Harris sign! and look forward to learning more about what your plans are for that #C! I think it’s good for us to LSNED every day and I always learn new things from you – thank you!

Yep, #C, is indeed a mystery…I shall find out more in a day or so…and keep all posted.
I think “What can go wrong will go wrong” is today’s (9/5/24) LSNED entry will be “what can go wrong will go wrong”. I was scheduled for a 2 PM seminar and the link was B-A-D! Fortunately the seminar was free…C’est la vie!

I love that Harris sign. I wish I saw more in my neighborhood but this is Nebraska after all. I see above you are reading Quiet. That book was eye-opening for me, an introvert. I hope you find a work-around in Sisters, Oregon. Best wishes for a successful September. Learning something new is always good for us.
