Gone back to School

I've been taking a Bible Study class online for about a year now. We were studying the Old Testament.  I found I had as many questions after each class than I did before, so when they announced in our church bulletin that Loyola Marymount would be having a continuing education class on the Old Testament in our area, I felt called to take it.  Saturday was our first class.  There are over 50 of us in it.  And the speakers are both excellent.  Between them, they have taught religious studies for over 30 years and wow, do they know their subject.  I look forward to finally understanding this collection of Books.

My third DGS

is Leo - isn't he a cutie?  This is a photo taken by his momma near his 1st birthday.  Thanks, Amanda for posting this on facebook.  He looks a lot like you.

Back to Quilting matters

I help with a group that makes Crisis Pregnancy baby quilts and a friend, thank you Deanna, graciously gave me for them, two boxes of baby material for the next sewing session. It's great stuff. One box is full of strips. I grabbed a handful and made this:

It measures 37 square.  My job is to make the quilt tops - there are others who do the other steps, so I'm counting this as a finish.

Any Birders out there?

Sitting at my computer, working on a website I am responsible for our guild, I heard a sound besides the crickets that are the normal background to night's here. I had not heard this in a long time.  Some kind of owl?  We heard them when we first moved into the house over 40 years ago, but not recently.  Does anyone know what it is?  Listen:
