The Husband and I had planned to take the Grandson out to dinner at 5:00 yesterday for his birthday. A little after noon, The Grandson called to see if I'd like to take him shopping. I agreed. He picked me up about 2:00, and we headed out. Our first stop was an antique mall, where he got a cassette tape to play in his truck, then we went to a video game store. After that, we hit pawn shops, looking for unexpected treasures until time to meet The Husband for dinner at an Italian restaurant.
I enjoyed our outing, but I expect that The Grandson was glad to be rid of me after dinner. As a driver, he is fairly inexperienced, and he is not very good at observing speed limits. I nagged him the whole time: "Slow down!" "Don't get so close!" Etc. But he took it like a champ.
He's a good kid. Young man, rather. After dinner, he told The Husband and me, "I appreciate y'all."

The wedding quilt is just a wee bit away from being ready for the binding. The two halves are joined. There's a little bit of quilting left to do in the center of the quilt where the joining occurred, and the edges will need to be squared up before the binding goes on. I've decided to keep the binding simple, since the quilt is so "busy." I could finish this quilt by the weekend if I'd get cracking.
I'm itching to move on to something new.
My BFF sent me a kit to make wire-wrapped jewelry. I've fooled with jewelry-making in the past and never was very good at it. Maybe this kit will improve my skills.
Today I need to make a bed for the wine cap mushroom spawn that came in the mail yesterday.
