I take it all is well for you though? Our quilt guild has met this month outside on lawns in parks just like your group. Have to speak up pretty loudly with masks and distance though, lol! We haven't figure out winter meetings though, so we're going to try Zoom meetings. Not the same, but a way to stay connected.Barb Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09886530410606428064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7488073303206028166.post-47204788203192888012020-10-17T05:26:45.206-06:002020-10-17T05:26:45.206-06:00That's quite a photo of the smoke from the fir...That's quite a photo of the smoke from the fire.

I wonder if some of the migratory birds you’re seeing have been temporarily displaced by the fire? At any rate, lucky you for getting new glasses (on my list) and for getting to meet up with your guild! We need to savor those things before cold weather takes away some options.

Amazing what's happening. Beautiful photo tell Mike. I find the chickadees and the nuthatches hang out together at the feeders it seems. We use Costco too for glasses and I can't believe you went that long without the perfect prescription. Especially with all the sewing you do...embroidery in particular. Lovely sentiments and may I add my wish too that it works out with your mom.

And you were right there to see it in person and get a picture. It must have been so good to get to meet with your quilt group in person. Our group has met twice and we hope to go on a ten person retreat in early December, but we'll be watching the Covid numbers in our area closely. New glasses are always welcome even if the cost of them is not. Hope you have a good weekend with calm weather and lots of sew time.<br />Pat<br />MissPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807348837446241284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7488073303206028166.post-36954632006654800832020-10-15T17:21:05.623-06:002020-10-15T17:21:05.623-06:00Oh that sky looks so scary, I hope it isn't to...Oh that sky looks so scary, I hope it isn't too close to you.<br />I need new glasses too, I've been taking mine off to use the computer, sewing machine and longarm!

Hopefully, she is healing well. Too bad you can’t get her help at home instead of moving which is so involved for all. Oh dear, I feel for you. Take care.

Yay to having the correct prescription in your eye glasses. I've had a bit of an issue with my sunglasses - I really should take them back but I think it's been too long now. Yippee for a quilt meeting! It looks like it was a beautiful day for an outside gathering. Oh {{hugs}} for you and your mom. It is so hard to be far away. I know you just want to go and get it all organized.

I wear contacts, but I sometimes wear glasses at night, and that prescription has been wrong for 5 years. My current optometrist keeps asking if I want to change it, but my eyes are so weird that my glasses cost an arm and a leg, so I just keep them.

Great pic of the chickadee. I was talking with a neighbor about our invasion of bluejays. I had never seen one before around here, she told me that in the 30+ years that they have lived here they have never seen them either. Yay for new glasses, and social distance meetings.
