My mojo to create blog posts still lags, but I am at least
working on several projects.
My collection of EPP thimbles for another red and white quilt
is growing. The green tool in the picture is a needle puller. I'm learning to use it in the hopes that it will relieve some of the stress on my hands.
More proof that I’m actually working is the new strata of
pink basting thread in my orts jar and empty spools. This project went with us to San Antonio last
weekend where we celebrated our 45th wedding anniversary on the
Riverwalk.
I’ve always found the Riverwalk to be a near magical place
this time of year.
As often as we have made this trip, this was my first time
to discover Love Lock Bridge. Each lock
has a couple’s name on it.
I’m sure there must be a story about how these blue jeans
ended in a tree top along the Riverwalk.
Hubby treated me to a stop at Las Colchas, a quilt shop near
downtown San Antonio. It has been in
business 40 years and is housed in a Sears “house kit” that has been beautifully
maintained. I confess to contributing to
the store’s continued financial success.
Celebrating our anniversary on the Riverwalk used to be an annual tradition. Then came Covid. This was our first trip since 2019. Much as I love the Riverwalk, we will probably seek other
destinations in the future. San Antonio
is a very old city with narrow streets, many of which are one-way. Parking is a real problem and road
construction created near grid-lock situations several times. But I am so glad we had this trip, especially after the serious health challenges hubby endured earlier this year.
