I wish this weather was here to stay

The weather was fabulous in TN this weekend. And today for that matter.

Saturday night Matt and I went to the APSU v. Murray game. We had a really good time. Matt had to sport a Murray shirt because he is currently doing his grad work there. He just loves to ruffle feathers. APSU won, and it was a good game. Close from the beginning to end. I liked our seats because we were against the wall so I could stand up without obstructing anyone’s view when my legs felt cramped.

Sunday I rode motorcycles with my Dad. We had a good ride and it was good to get back on the bike after so long. I was a little nervous, but I did okay. Dad follows me and that makes me feel much better. I visited with them for awhile. Played with pigsquatch (their obese dachshund). Then I got to visit with my grandmother for a bit, just me and her. She answered some questions that I had about quilting, and showed me a thing or two. She has been working on a few quilts this winter. I want to try to do I little quilting. Not the meticulous piecing together of scraps kind. Just a real simple one. My Grandmother made me a very intricate one years ago, where she pieced it all together. She told me yesterday it was a log cabin design. It is beautiful and I’ve always loved it. Now I really love it and appreciate it.

My mother likes to sew, and has made me the cutest things my whole life. Again, this is another thing I want to learn to do. She gave me a sewing machine when I graduated from college, and I’ve always said that when I graduate from law school I want her to teach me how to sew. You know, everyone used to be able to sew and now it seems pretty rare for people my age to be able to. I had an idea to dust off the machine and make a little present for two of my friends that are having babies, just something simple. Well... it turned out so darn cute I’ve made quite a few in different shapes and sizes. For some reason I find it really relaxing to sit and work on it in the evenings. Remind me later in the summer to post a picture of my little creations (I can’t do it now or it wouldn’t be a surprise).
