A new month,  hooray.  AFter a few months of trauma,  I feel like I am on the road back to normal.  But at my age,  what is normal.  

I broke my shoulder in January. By the time I was fully healed in mid April,   I neede a srthroscopy knee surgery, Which I had and fully recovered from. But I feel like I just don't have my energy back.  I wonder if it is too much trauma to this old body and its going to take a lot longer to bounce back than it used to.,  

Whatever.. OLdest son went to drug rehab again,  but is doing well and we are hopeful. It's been a long haul and a very stressful and upsetting one.  Watching someone destroy their life with drugs and alcohol.  Finally in order to keep his job he went to a month long in house re hab.  I am still holding my breath,  because we've been through this before.  But I am feeling hopeful.   

This is a quilt I recently finished piecing and picked up from the LONG ARM quilter last week.  

Its another scrappy /stash quilt made with fabrics I already owned.   But still new backing fabric and batting and the long arm fees,  There is about $200 wrapped up in it.  

People think making a quilt is inexpensive,  But buying new yardage which is usually $10 to $12 per yard,  backing fabric and batting can put a home crafted quilt in the $400 to $500 dollar range.  

This is why mostr of my quilts are now scrappys,  I have a ton of fabrics. So why not use them up.  

'The death of democracy.

 August 26

After watching Melanoma Trump make her long walk down the walkawy in her militarystyle dress to be welcomed by the brainwashed idiots... To give the most boring speech full of mistruths and downright lies. This shitshow of a Republican Convention... Which is put on by RNCCC   Republican National CCC ( crooks conns and cunts)

Everything this family has done since the election is to move this country toward an authoritarian dictatorship with the orange buffoon as the leader.  

The country is fool of idiots who cannot see what is happening right in front of their eyes. Have they no knowledge of history. What happened to the Conservatives who cared about protecting us from Russia,  China,  and other authoritarian leaders?  They are gone into he cult of Trump. 

I fully expect Trump to retain power and I fully expect him to bring out the guns against his detractors.  He will eliminate the media and only allow what he wants out there. We will be living in hell from here on out.  I can only hope that the young people recognize the danger here and come out in droves to protest. 

Putting this in writing today so that I can look back when everything in this country is cesnsored by The Leader.
