Still digging through boxes.......................
I had one more box on the shelves that needed to be opened. I taught this as a class before Oct. 1991. I know that because the store moved to a new location then and this was at the old location.
The only thing that has kept me from finishing it is that I was going to make a batch of lavender blocks too but never got back to it. I can certainly finish it right now with the number of blocks I have done but with only 3 colors it is harder to lay out the blocks without a color ending up next to itself. Actually I don't think it looks too bad just the way I plopped them up on the design wall. Here is the pattern I taught from.
A couple hours yesterday were devoted to hooking up digital boxes to 3 TVs. When the digital thing was happening in June they said we would be OK if we had cable. Well lo and behold, Comcast is changing all of the basic expanded channels to digital and we supposedly would not be able to get them unless we have their boxes. You could get 1 main big box and 2 smaller boxes free and you had to pay if you needed more. First you had to program the remote to work with your TV and since 2 of my TVs are 15 years old we had to do the search thing which took longer. Last night on the TV with the big box I went to change channels and grabbed the old remote that goes to the TV and not the digital box and now I have no signal. I tried calling them at 10:15 and they stop taking calls on weekends at 10. GRRRRR! Added 8 a.m-I just remembered the TV has to be set on channel 3 for the digital box to work. Whew! That is fixed, and the brain is working after 8 hours sleep.

A chipmunk story: I was sitting at my computer and I saw something dark and moving out of the corner of my eye. I turned and here was the chipmunk running out of the room. I started following him and he headed out through the kitchen. I have a screen door between my kitchen and garage which accidentally got cut off too short when I had the hardwood floor installed 14 years ago. There is about a 2" space at the bottom and I'm sure that is how he got in (and out I hope). I had left the garage door open while I was pulling weeds and closed it when I came in. Evidently he got in and was trapped in there. I hit the garage door button and the door opened but I didn't really see him leave (my car was in the way) but I'm assuming he got out. That was Sat. morning and I haven't seen any signs of any animals in the house since. One other day he was trapped in the garage and he made his chirping sound and I opened the door and let him out. I hope he has learned his lesson and stays outside now.
