Mid Week Check In

I'm prepping well ahead for the January retreat. Trying to decide if I need more half square triangles or not. My favorite method can be found HERE

Coming up in my world- This weekend we are hoping to get together with our kids for a casual dinner for Christmas in Portland. Cory and I are going to see Air Supply in concert, followed by the Scandinavian Festival on Saturday. This has been a fun tradition for us. My grandfather was Danish, although my DNA says I'm only 15% Nordic. 

Rise and shine early Sunday to bring Cory and his brother to the airport where they will be flying to North Carolina to volunteer for rebuilding that area after the devastating landslides caused from Hurricane Helene a bit over a year ago. My hubby went last December to help the clean up efforts, also with Samaritan's Purse. 

Then Monday there will be an in person court for the criminal charges against the girl who recklessly caused the death of 2 people and changed my daughter's life. Thankfully my daughter has recovered, almost fully. Mentally it will be a difficult time since all the hearings have been virtual. We will meet the parents of the newly married couple who had their life snuffed needlessly. It will be a hard day. Oregon is soft on any crime so it is likely she will not have consequences. 

I will have the week that Cory is away to prepare for quilt retreat! I'll also be preparing space bags and clothing that was donated to take to Guatemala! It should be a good week.

That's it for me. If you have completed your Summit Stitches quilt top  feel free to send me a photo at humblequilts@gmail.com and I can add it to the link!
