Goalball Update

Last week Herschel went with the Utah State Men's team to Kalamazoo for the Eastern Qualifying Tournament. Chris Dodds has been training him at center to take his place in a few years so this was good experience for him since he started plalying last Feb.
He has improved tons and started all of the pool play games at center. When they got to the cross-over part of the tournament, he started at center and then moved to wing so that Chris could take center. They were down 2 points in the first game. They won and continued on. They ended up taking 3rd getting the Bronze medals. They are looking forward to the Western Regionals that Utah is hosting in May. Hope they do well. The Nationals will be sometime in June or July.

Here is a picture of my boss and husband. Everyone asks us if it is hard to work together. Most people act like they would kill their spouse if they had to be together day and night.

I have been waiting for almost 30 years to spend that kind of time with my husband, so I have quite enjoyed it. Not really the working part, but the time part. The more time we spend together, the better we get along.

It has been fun to joke around and know all that is going on in the day so that when he gets home I don't have to say "How was your day?" and get the typical man grunt.

I just wish we had more time for doing some fun things.

My Quilt is Finally Done!

I have been sick this week, so Scott had me stay home from work. I spent most of my time quilting and blowing my nose. I used a box of tissues each day. GAG. At least I had the time to finish the quilt and get it out of the family room.

Jessica spent tons of time on it with me. I bet she put in about 20 hours this week to help me get it done. There is a close up of the back of the quilt. It is mint green.

I always love looking at the back to see all of the thousands of stitches. It is fun to see the quilted pattern and the raised parts.

It is now folded up and in my quilt cupboard. I will pull it out when Spring is a little further along. It just didn't seem right to put out a pastel flower quilt with snow on the ground. Maybe that is the time to put it out.
