Getting It Together

Finally got in the leaving home mode....almost packed...still no clothes but who will notice, right? Gotta hit the road about 9 am so plently of time. Bryan, Texas is the home of Texas A& M and about a four hour drive on two lane black top. Ugh! This Texas girl is used to driving around 70 at all times.....won't happen today.

Bryan/College Station is a lovely town; however, I can't huzzah the Aggies. Thom graduated from Florida State....go Seminoles....and is now at Baylor Law....go Bears. Keep mouth shut about college sports....this is about quiltmaking.

The heat here is in full bloom....come on down and visit....bring some snow and ice. We are just house bound at a different time of the year. Summertime in Texas is vampire schedule...we do everything at night and even then it is still in the low 90's or high 80's. You know it isn't going to be a good day when you wake up and it is already 80.

Since this is just nattering, and I am feeling a little sad that nobody is reading my natterings.....here comes a curve ball. Karl Rove, the boy wonder, has finally stepped in a cow paddy. Could it be possible that he did reveal the name of a covert operative? You betcha. Will he be taken to task for it....nah. George the second values loyalty over reality, truth, and sensibility.

He (George) was our governor for what seems like my entire adult life. His no child left behind should be no state left behind. Texas ranks 49th in education due to his valuable insights. 49th, folks from teaching students to take tests instead of really learning.

All right..shut up, Gabrielle and get packing.....probably if I had spent the day sewing my mood would be better. Getting to be with other quiltmakers will definitely bright my day. See you again on Thursday.
