Good Day, everyone!
                                    See that beautiful Crock Pot there?  That was one of my Christmas gifts from my better half!  I have two, one big and one small.  And the smaller of the two has seen better days---too many of them!  Lost the lid a long time ago, so I have to use a plate.  And plates don't usually have handles, sooooo.......

       Anyhow, I have a renewed interest in all the things I can do with this puppy!  Was looking up recipes this morning, and I see lots of yummy meals in our future....just what I need to loose weight, huh?  Ah...well.....

      So, I'm also getting a new mop today!  Yay, me!  Which is a good thing, you see, as yesterday I pulled a mostly-full gallon jug of apple juice out of the fridge, poured myself a glass and then fumbled the put-away process.  You guessed it---gravity took over and you just can't drop something that heavy from 2 feet off the floor and expect it to stay intact.  Apple juice SHOT everywhere....most of it SHOOTING under the fridge. 
     And you know, I didn't even get mad.  No frustration....no defeat....no anger....nothing.  I stared a moment at the devastation and headed for the mop.  Realizing I could NOT get it all up, I mopped until there was nothing more to mop, then returned to my ice cold glass of apple juice.

     And I consider that experience a measure of how satisfying it is to finish a quilt.  Not even a shattered gallon of apple juice all over your kitchen floor and a tsunami of apple juice gushing under your fridge can dampen the elation of finishing a quilt.

    Now I'm off to the store for a large size bottle of Mr. Clean......*sigh*
