Turbo Charged

Many years ago,
Running Man and I

had the opportunity to travel to Germany.

Running Man was presenting a paper

in Berlin, which was still divided.

We flew into Munich,

rented a car and headed off

on the German autobahn.

We've all heard about the 

autobahn having at least three lanes, 

fast, faster and fastest.

Well, it's true.

Running Man was imagining he

was James Bond

or 

a formula 1 race car driver.

I could see the speedometer was well over 100 mph.

The F on our rental car, 

didn't say Ferrari.
 The little Ford was trying it's best.

I was informed by Running Man, he

was only trying to keep up and not

get run over.  True!

There was  something fun about going fast,

if you didn't figure in the fear factor.

I'm not sure if it's quite the same experience,

but yesterday I was TURBO appliqueing.

No,  you're right it's not quite the same,

but

exhilarating, none the less,
if you're a middle aged Nana.

I've been working on my
 Midnight Silhouette quilt and
appliqueing the center vine on the last two border pieces.

It's been super fast,
super easy, and

 super fun.

Why?

The raw edges of the vine were 

already turned under,

the vine was secured in place with a little

Roxanne's Glue Baste,

needles were prethreaded,

the kiddos were napping 

and Nana was 

turbo charged.

Oh, did I mention,

I had chocolate and diet Pepsi?

It felt good to get something done

just once and
trying to keep up.

Until Next Time-
