It was a beautiful day......

We finally got the warm weather that everyone else has been talking about.  It was in the 80s.  I was going to quilt a quilt but instead I mowed the grass.  I did the front in the morning and the back in the afternoon and no hip pain!  I got some new running shoes.  I don't run but running shoes are comfy and they propel you forward so they were perfect for walking on the bumpy ground behind the mower.
I made 3 pretty wild blocks last night.  They won't be next to each other in the quilt.
 
I added the 3 blocks from last night and the 3 from the night before and rearranged a little.  Just 6 more blocks to go.  I think I need more red, orange and yellow.....or maybe they need to just be the jewels among all of the blues, greens, and violets.
I was putting some things away in the basement and noticed one box I haven't gone through yet.  In it was my 5 year diary given to me by my 6th grade teacher.  There were a lot of receipts tucked into the pages and also there were these 3 tickets.  They are from one of the years between 1952 and 1956.  That was the good old days when you got into a state park for 10 cents each.  A leather purse was $1.98.
