So, we’re still going through stuff of my aunt’s. Tons of quilting stuff. Quilt blocks she had cut out, quilt tops she had pieced together but not finished. And one of the quilt tops that’s ready to be finished is a mystery pattern. Mom has no idea what it’s called and I can’t find anything remotely like it. It’s an appliqued quilt with doves in each block. I’ve found other dove quilts but they don’t look like this one. I’ll try to post a picture of it tomorrow on the off-chance one of you guys may have seen it before.
And we started figuring out how old the jars are. One of them is almost 100 years old!!! I’m tempted to bundle it up and keep it safe and sound in my bedroom rather than try to sell it to some cretin who won’t appreciate it the way I will. 
Not much else going on around here. Though I actually have real shows to watch tonight! Not recorded shows. What a concept. There’s a new show on the Travel Channel that sounds fun called Extreme Roadside Adventures. I’m not sure how long it’s been since it premiered but I only just learned about it today. Also we’ll be blowing stuff up (fun!) on MythBusters and searching for space aliens on UFO Hunters (which is a show that never fails to make me laugh—unintentionally, I’m sure).
Wrote about half a page last night. Whew!
Reading: Last night I read The Starlight Barking by Dodie Smith which is the sequel to 101 Dalmatians. I’d been wanting to read it for years and finally laid my hot little hands on a used copy. It was charming, though I liked the original best. Now I’m reading A Knife to Remember by Jill Churchill.
I watched a show last night that Son LOVED. Only now I can’t remember the name of it, but it was about using science to explain the “paranormal”. Really they were using a special coil to make movie magic lightening. It was fun, though. *G*
Can’t wait to see the Dove quilt top!
I hope you have a good day!

I would love to see your aunt’s quilt top.
You’ll have to share pictures of your 100-year old jar.
