Amish Finish

Today is Monday, August 23rd and I have finished my Amish Friendship piece for my BFF for her birthday.  I am going to have it framed for her at Joann's in Baltimore where she lives.  

I will see her this weekend for a crab feast; being a native of Baltimore or a 'Baltimoron'....LOL....I can't wait to 'go home'.  I was to leave tomorrow and stay until next week, but a death in our family put those plans to rest, and that is okay.  This will be a quick trip up Saturday morning and home Sunday early, as we have a memorial service to attend.

Friday is my birthday and Butch is taking me to Towne Center here in Newport News to see a concert at the fountain in the middle of the mini-city.......we will be hearing Chasing Arrows, which is my grandson's drum instructor's band!  Joe has really taken Nick under his wing.  He will also be attending with mom and family. The second photo is Nick, our nine year old grandson with his private instructor, Joe Hamm.  Check out Chasing Arrows on the web; this is Joe's band!  Enjoy!

Can you believe this is the first I saw your blog? What took me so long? Nice finish for the quilt. She's going to love it. I enjoyed seeing your blog and have put it in my blog roll and signed up to follow so I'll be back.....

Thanks Meari and Barb.....Barb, I am still learning and actually teaching myself. I am compiling a playlist so I can have music too; just haven't quite figured that one out just yet!

Meari, I know we will enjoy the concert; our grandson will be there too; not playing, but just enjoying Joe's music. He has taken Nick under his wing, and invited him to the concert, and also invited him to see him play his 'exit exam' from College! Joe has two bands; one Jazz and one Rock. He had to play an original piece to graduate.....of course music is his major.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks Karen! I can't wait to open all my cards and goodies! LOL.....I have cheated and opened a couple of them....BUT, not yours!

Nick is really progressing with his drums....I expect one day Gram and Pop will see him playing in 'his' band...lol
