Tessellation

 Another Alison Glass pattern caught my eye. Tessellation is a triangle-based quilt that has an improv feel to it. So much so that I did what I wanted. I love the secondary designs. There are points at some locations where 8 seams are intersecting. Very tough for quilting. 

Quilting means almost nothing to this quilt. Nothing is going to show.

Naomi & Chewie

 Naomi loves this little Chewie toy. She is such a cute little girl.

Later we had a bonfire and roasted marshmallows.

Eagle Scout Plaque

 The Eagle Scout plaque in the Camano Island building has been full for a long time. I kept asking if they will add to it so Frazier and Jackson can be represented, but it takes a long time. They had both served missions by the time this was posted. But someone took up the charge and got it done. Thank you!

Nana's Collection

 My mom has a lovely collection of pictures in the office. On the wall are her children and her parents. and underneath on a table are all her grandchildren. She was raised as an only child and her parents divorced when she was a teenager. As a young married she found out she couldn't have children. And look at the family she created. (My dad was an only child, too.) Today, October 11, is her 80th birthday.

Miss Long Beach State

 Visiting with Nana and her picture box is revealing. She kept everything about her experience riding with Miss Universe at the Rose Parade. She was Miss Long Beach State and riding with her was Miss California who went on to win it all.

Tami's Wedding

 When Tami was married to Roger Sonnenberg, her birth parents came. This is the only picture I know of that includes both sets of her parents. Tami took care of each of her birth parents when they were dying. Now, my parents are the only ones living in this photo.

Disneyland 2018

 We love to stay off-site at Disneyland and then get up and go in the morning. Walking to Disneyland is always more fun than walking back. The morning is always promising. 

While we were having a snack, a little commotion happened behind us. It's fun to see little children see Belle, but they are afraid of the Beast.

This is our schedule. Sometimes things don't work well if a ride is down, but we're well-acquainted enough with the park to adjust.

We hit Splash Mountain twice--once in the front and once in the back. I got plenty wet in the front. At the end of the day, we walked back to the hotel very slowly.
