Curiously Intertwined

GB#5 asked me to play a game today.

I said yes.

Right after you win, you are instructed

to flip the spinner over to the mirror side

and smile at that Pretty Pretty Princess.

GB#5 followed instructions.

From what history I can find about this business,

it began as a general store around 1929.

It's pretty famous around here.

Once at a local museum, I even saw magnets of this sign for sale.

The sky is trying really hard to be pink.

The sky is full of birds a lot lately.

In general, today was a pretty productive day.

With regards photos and the blog, not so much.

I took some pictures I was really excited about early in the day

that turned out unusable due to focus issues.

These issues were absolutely user error.

That lead me to give you a sock update instead.

My electronics sometimes take longer

than I think they should to talk to each other.

The result is a Picture of the Day

that has an incorrect date for a post title.

So to be clear, this picture was taken on

Wednesday, February 18, 2026.

Well, here's something I haven't done since 1969.

Back before I started this blog,

I made this quilt for T-bone for his high school graduation.

I only backed it with flannel because the top was also flannel.

I did not tie or quilt it.

Through the years it has come apart.

I guess that's what the actual quilting is for- to keep it together.

I have washed it gently and hung it over several folding chairs to air dry.

I'll put it in my queue so I can begin to do repairs and quilt it properly.

Pictures will surely be posted as work progresses.
