Today is Wanda's actual 80th birthday - 

though she's been celebrating, with family and friends, all month long.    

Not a bad plan, actually.  

Maybe I should try that in September?

Getting ready to head up to nice, cool Prescott for a day on the square listening to some wonderful music.  Unfortunately Peter's band won't be playing until tonight, when I'll have already left in order to be home before dark.

7:00 Evening Concert with The Sonoran Dogs and Special Friends

And since the music doesn't start until 11:00 (!) today, I will get to stop at the quilt store in Prescott Valley after all to pick up their Row By Row pattern.

Yesterday I popped over to TOQS to get Sherri's Row By Row pattern - 

and it's adorable!

Yesterday's mail brought the Row By Row pattern that Rich picked up for me in Illinois.  It could be cute (called Fishing At Sunset).... except that I can't really tell since virtually all of the actual pattern is missing!
