Adapting to change

After a five-week absence (three with us, one at her house with me watching her, and one in the Midwest with her parents) e returns to day care today.  I hope she enjoys it.  This weekend she and her parents will drive up here and stay a while as their house goes on the market.  Though it may be a bit confusing for her to switch from one care situation to another, I wonder if it may not be better in the long run for her to be able to adapt.

Linda came over after Jazzercise yesterday, and we chatted about an hour about her upcoming move to Chicago and our transition to having EeK living with us.  I will miss her.

I've been working on the "Soul Searching" quilt and have finished four of the nine blocks.  I forgot I had planned to change the orientation and have some long strips with prints that may look funny if turned 90 degrees.  Oh, well.  Just have to wait and see when all the blocks are done.  I laid out the yellow strips yesterday and realized I need to change a couple because they are just too pale to register as yellow, so I may have to buy some new fabric if I can't find anything suitable in my scraps.  The picture on the right shows the placement the pattern uses; the one on the left is better suited for a rectangular or bed quilt.  After I finish all the blocks I'll try both layouts and decide which one to use.
