There were lots of things to do today!  We went to clean the church building in the morning and then we got what we needed to make Jer's quilt.  He used to have a silky thin quilt to watch TV with, do you remember it?  And somehow it got lost.  He has been using our old pink thermal blanket to watch TV because it's light, not too heavy or thick.  So I decided that I was tired of looking at that knobby pink blanket in the living room and we went to get some silky fabric to make him another one.  Today we borrowed the quilt legs from the RS and bought some boards and put it on.  We got it put up about noon and finished it just now at about 10.  SO glad it's done.  It took multiple trips to WalMart to get needle threaders and thimbles.  Can I tell you it's a lot more complicated trying to quilt with bad eyes.  But it's done!! I just need to finish the edges on Monday.  So happy for him to have a pretty and comfortable cover up.  And because he helped (yes!  he did do many rows and did them well)  he appreciates exactly what that little quilt means in labor.

 It's this light brown on one side and dark brown on the other so it matches the sofa.  Much better than pink! 

While I stayed home and worked on the quilt Jer took a casserole to the memorial service of a brother in the ward that died last week.  The RS president said it's just a memorial service because he had a "green burial."  That means they bought a little plot in the woods and wrapped him in a sheet and dug a hole and buried him themselves.  Apparently there's a place nearby where you can do that.  No headstones allowed, but she's going to have a rock engraved and place it on his grave so she can go out and visit when she wants.  Like the old days. 

Our neighbor (the poor lonely little widow that has a much more active social life than I ever dreamed of)  came over yesterday and said she has a friend that may be interested in the condo!  It would be so nice for her to get a neighbor that she likes and nice for us to sell it without a realtor.  She said he will pay cash if he wants it.  We will just wait and see how much he's interested.  He may just be being polite to her.  We did stop in at a local realtor the other day and asked how much she thought we could get for it and it's not as much as we paid.  Hmm.  Darn, but we will just wait and see what happens.

I have to say I have stopped watching Inspector Lewis.  The first couple of seasons were interesting and logical in their stories and had just the right touch of humor, but the last one I watched was just too gruesome and I didn't feel good after watching it.  Darn.  I really liked having something I could count on for a brief pleasant distraction. 

So happy that everything is still good with the sale of the Orem house.  We look forward to visiting with Evanses next week and when we get back we will be able to actually begin looking for a place to settle down.  It's almost too good to be true, with so many happy things to anticipate!
