If it wasn't for the Finance sector, second quarter earnings
season would have been rather disappointing. The financial sector,
which was one of the best performing segments in 2012, continued
with its impressive performance this year, adding on to its recent
bullish trend.
Owing to robust earnings from the banking sector, investor
confidence has received a boost as well. In fact, the financial
sector has seen earnings growth of +30% year-over-year in Q2. The
sector could maintain its relative strength attributable to strong
banking numbers from most of the top stocks in the
space (Read:
2 Sector ETFs Surging This Earnings Season
However, the taper postponement by Bernanke has caused trouble for
the financial sector, while there have also been concerns over
revenues as well. This was witnessed when Citigroup took a dip by
almost 3.2% which led to some rough trading in a number of
companies in the space (Read:
Financial ETFs Tumble on Citigroup Warning
This news led to some modest losses for a number of companies in
the sector, sending industry share prices down several percentage
points on the session. In particular, many financial sector ETFs
were the hardest hit by Citigroup's news.
For now we have chosen an ETF which currently has a Zacks ETF Rank
of 1 or 'Strong Buy' and may prove to be a safe haven during these
troubled times, and a better play on the strong parts of the
financial sector:
About the Zacks ETF Rank
The Zacks ETF Rank provides a recommendation for the ETF in the
context of our outlook for the underlying industry, sector, style
box or asset class (read:
Zacks ETF Rank Guide
). Our proprietary methodology also takes into account the risk
preferences of investors. ETFs are ranked on a scale of 1 (Strong
Buy) to 5 (Strong Sell) while they also receive one of three risk
ratings, namely, Low, Medium or High.
The aim of our models is to select the best ETFs within each risk
category. We assign each ETF one of the five ranks within each risk
bucket. Thus, the Zacks ETF Rank reflects the expected return of an
ETF relative to other products with a similar level of risk.
For investors seeking to apply this methodology to their portfolio
in the financial sector, we have taken a closer look at the top
First Trust Financials AlphaDEX Fund (
. This ETF has a Zacks ETF Rank of 1 or 'Strong Buy' (see the full
list of
ranked ETFs
) and is detailed below:
About FXO
Launched in May 2007, FXO tracks the Strata Quant Financial
AlphaDEX Index, which is a modified equal-dollar weighted index.
The benchmark is designed by NYSE Euro-next to objectively
identify and select stocks from the Russell 1000 Index in the
financial services sector that may generate positive alpha relative
to traditional passive-style indices through the use of the
AlphaDEX selection methodology.
The ETF holds about 169 securities in its basket. The fund is well
spread across individual holdings as it does not put more than 12%
in its top 10. FXO does well in eliminating concentration risk as
it does not allocate too much in any single component.
Nationstar Mortgage Holdings, Ocwen Financial Corporation and
FleetCor Technologies are the top 3 holdings of the fund. FXO does
not allocate more than 1.5% allocation across individual holdings
(Find all
Financial ETFs
From an industry exposure perspective, Insurance leads with 36.44%
allocation while Commercial Banks, Capital Markets and IT Services
together make up 37%.
FXO currently has an asset base of $450 million and on an average
does a daily volume of about 249,000 shares. It also pays out a
paltry yield of 1.69% (see more in the
Zacks ETF
FXO has played quite a significant role in the financial ETF world
by delivering notable returns. The fund has given sturdy returns of
about 23.9% year to date. In fact, the product is hovering well
above its 200-day moving average of $18.33.
The product, however, is a little costly as it charges a high 70bps
in fees due to its innovative fund management technique. The fee is
much higher than the category average of 47bps.
The Bottom Line
While many may still have concerns over the financial sector's
upswing, especially after the 2008 financial crisis, financial ETFs
by applying a diversified approach not only in the U.S. but also
across various financial institutions globally, offer a great way
to play the sector (Read:
3 Sector ETFs to Watch for the Budget Battle
Given that the financial sector should continue with its strong
momentum and its dominant role in the broad markets, FXO is poised
to benefit and may see more room for upside going into 2013's home

After watching this episode, I watched the entire Sinnoh League arc. Then I wept for what this show once was and realized the harsh reality of life is that all good things come to an end.
Bad episode, but I did like how Copycat looked and the sauna scene, thats about it.
Honestly, the Barry/Paul battle was the only ridiculous battle from that league to me in terms of overpowered Pokemon with endurance that is unbelievable; Magmortar standing after taking Hydro Cannon and Ursaring surviving a bunch of fighting type moves (just forgetting about Tobias because I give Ash props for taking out 2 legendary Pokemon).
I'll take the Barry/Paul or Ash/Tobias match over what we've seen so far out of the Unova league.
I skipped the battle part and only watched the sauna scene cuz that's the only fun part of this episode.

Shantae and the Pirate's Curse: 10/23/2014
I don't know what does that blue head of Pikachu means except that he was almost dying due to lack of oxygen. If that's true, Pikachu needed at least 5 minutes after freedom to regain his strength... How did he still battle after that? Probably i'm over thinking things..
Serperior using it's tail to avoid Pikachu's thunderbolt was ridiculous, I can't tell when the writers want to use anime physics or use Real world physics. First of all, Serperior's body was already on the ground so if they wanted to avoid electricity shock they could already do it without the help of tail Even then, they couldnt completely avoid pain. Electrons moving through Serperior's tail would create an extreme pain in that area which is exactly where he was holding pikachu with, therefore he shouldn't be able to hold pikachu anymore. But i think they only wanted to use only a small part of Real world physics which is not understandable. Reminds me of Pikachu vs. Bellsprout where writers made the exact same mistake, But i thought they were over it.
The rest was already mentioned in the topic so i won't bother
Even in victory Ash looked worse then his opponent. Serperior was still nerfed yet Ash's win still seemed cheap considering he was completely helpless and basically relied on luck. Back with Paul DP Ash held his own and proved himself as being his equal. BW Ash looked like a worse trainer then Trip and he probably wouldn't have been strong enough to have won a full battle if they had one.
I Found this to be a good Episode and I really liked it Pikachu VS. Serperior was good Cheap but good. And it was good to see Escavalier Again.
I really liked the battle between Bianca and Cameron. It was nice to be able to see Emboar and Samurott battling head to head, with my favorite of the two winning of course
Emboar looked really cute doing Attract.
The combo Pikachu did to defeat Serperior was pretty cool, though I really didn't like the battle all that much as a whole. Serperior's defense must have been a lot lower to lose in a lot less attacks from Pikachu.

The Canadian Press - ONLINE EDITION
Credit card company Visa profit jumps 35 per cent despite recession
BOSTON - Visa Inc. said Wednesday its first-quarter profit rose by 35 per cent as the shift from cash toward electronic payments maintained its staying power, even while consumers tightened spending amid the recession.
The results beat Wall Street expectations, and shares of Visa rose nearly eight per cent after the regular trading session. Visa also reiterated expectations for earnings growth of more than 20 per cent for its current financial year, even though it scaled back its revenue forecast, warning of slower growth in the spring and summer.
Related Items
The world's largest electronic payment network reported net income of US$574 million, or 74 cents per share, for the three months ended Dec. 31. That's up from $424 million, or 55 cents per share, in the same quarter a year earlier, when Visa was privately held before its initial public offering last March.
Excluding several one-time charges and gains, Visa earned $599 million, or 78 cents per share, in the latest quarter.
Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters, whose estimates typically exclude one-time items, had forecast a profit in the latest quarter of 66 cents per share, on average.
San Francisco-based Visa said its revenue rose 17 per cent to nearly $1.74 billion from $1.49 billion, while operating expenses fell nearly 5 per cent to $773 million from $810 million.
In aftermarket trading, Visa shares rose $3.67, or about 7.5 per cent, to $52.80, from their close in the regular session at $49.13.
The market apparently was reacting to Visa's solid results despite sales erosion for retailers, Cowen & Co. analyst Moshe Katri said.
"I think a lot of people looked at the retail headlines, and were assuming there will be an impact on Visa's results," Katri said. "What is fuelling their growth is the move from cash to cards, and that is holding up relatively well in the recession."
Visa's payments volume jumped 12 per cent over the year-ago period to $701 billion. That operational result was included in the fourth-quarter report but released on a three-month lag, based on activity in the three months ended Sept. 30.
Total cards carrying the Visa brand rose 10 per cent globally to 1.7 billion, and total payment transactions jumped 13 per cent to 14.5 billion.
"In spite of the ongoing challenges with the economy, we began our fiscal 2009 with solid results across the board," Joseph Saunders, chairman and chief executive, told analysts in a conference call.
Saunders said he expects the company's recent success in cutting expenses - including its marketing expenses - will help the company achieve its previous goal of boosting its fiscal 2009 full-year profit by more than 20 per cent.
Analysts expect a 2009 financial year profit of $2.62 per share, up 16 per cent from a year earlier.
Visa had previously forecast 2009 financial year revenue would rise between 11 per cent to 15 per cent. But the company now expects growth in the high single digits in percentage terms.
The economy "will continue to have an effect on dollar payment volumes in the U.S. and internationally for at least the next two to three quarters," Saunders said.
Chief financial officer Byron Pollitt told analysts that Visa was seeing greater debit card use offset slowing growth rates for credit cards as consumers spend more conservatively amid the recession. They're also spending less per transaction, but Visa continues to see solid growth in transactions.
The latest period was Visa's third full quarter as a public company. Visa went public in March in the biggest U.S. IPO ever. The launch came just as the U.S. economy fell deeper into a recession that is turning out to be longer-lasting and more far-reaching than most analysts had expected.
Based on Wednesday's closing price, Visa's shares are down about 13 per cent from their $56.50 closing price the day of the company's March 19 IPO - a far better performance over that period than the broader market, especially from financial services companies. But the stock is off 15 per cent from a recent high of $57.98 on Jan. 6 as bad news from banks has hurt the market's view of Visa.

EuroCheapo's guide to hotels in Cordoba
Who are we? EuroCheapo is a guide to cheap hotels in Cordoba and throughout Europe. Since 2001 we've been scoping out the best hotel deals in Europe, always looking for accommodation that's central, clean and cheap.
As a religious and cultural capital, Cordoba has been a major tourist destination since the Middle Ages. That means it's had centuries to figure out how best to accommodate visitors. On the other hand, things can get expensive in the city's hotels and pensions, especially if you're visiting during the high season (April-May).
However, budget travelers should not despair. Cordoba offers plenty of small two- and three-star hotels, along with reasonably priced pensions (many of which are tucked away in the city's famous patios). You've come to the right place to find an affordable night's sleep in Cordoba.

We never tire of conspiracy theories and apocalypse predictions: Y2K, Nostradamus, the Mayas and 2014 sees the Vikings predicting doom and gloom for all.
2014: The
Viking Apocalypse
is coming
2014 is the year of the Vikings, yes I've said it and I stand by my conviction: TV series, exhibitions, fashion, animated films and even their very own apocalypse prediction. Granted if the Vikings were right then 2014 will be a very short year indeed, as the world is set to end on the 22nd February, yet, a good month and a half would have passed in the year of the Vikings.
So what is this latest ancient conspiracy theory and why haven't you heard about it?
Well, unlike many other conspiracy theories this one hasn't really made it much further than countries where the Vikings had an influence, so Scandinavia and the UK. The UK actually seem to be making rather a big fuss about Ragnarok (aka Viking Apocalypse).
On the 14th November 2013, a terrifying sound of a horn was herd through York, the mythical Gjallerhorn was blown to signal 100 days to the Apocalypse.
Ragnarok, which translates to 'Doom of the Gods', is due to be preceded by the winter of winters. Legend has it that all morality would disappear and fights would break out all over the world, signalling the beginning of the end. There will be huge earthquakes, the sea will rear up and the soil and the sky will be stained with poison. The wolf Skoll would devour the sun, and his brother Hati would eat the moon, causing stars to vanish from the sky and the Earth to be thrown into eternal darkness. On the day of Ragnarok, calculated to be the 22nd February 2014 the god Odin will be killed by the wolf Fenrir and the other 'creator' gods.
As all conspiracy theories and ancient apocalypse predictions there are reasons to believe this may be true.
Firstly, a part of the legend claims that the Midgard Serpent, named Jormungand, shall free itself from its tail and rise up from the ocean. Which in a way happened when the two huge oarfish were beached on the coats of California in November. And when it comes to the winter of winters? Well, record low temperatures were recorded in the Middle East for example, with Egypt seeing the first snow in a century.
Will it really be the year of the Vikings?

The 21st century can be a rough place for the DIY community. As the Internet pervades our daily existence, we find more people investing less time in a never-ending search through ephemeral music media. Why go to a show when you can check out a band in less than ten seconds? That's where Luc Michalski comes in. As proprietor of the Gateway Drug blog, zine and compilation tape — celebrating the release of its third installment here — Michalski promotes a wide spectrum of local DIY artists in a multiplatform dissemination of information. By bridging the gap between disassociated local musicians with a similar ethic, Gateway Drug remains a consistent curatorial portal into local DIY culture.

The macrolide group of antibiotics can cause QT prolongation, and endanger the patient with life threatening arrythmias. QT prolongation caused by Azythromycin, a relatively new macrolide, is extremely rare, and was not reported in clinical trials. Our hypothesis is that patients hospitalized with severe community acquired pneumonia, usually with multiple comorbid conditions will have a higher rate of QT prolongation, compared to the clinical trials published

Thank you to all of the brave service men and women who defend — and have defended — our country and freedom. Without your service we would not have all that we have today. Here's a Shout Out to America!
But, thanks to those freedoms, it seems like a few players and coaches were taking their first amendment rights a little too far this past week.
Clemson took some time out of their busy schedule to remind South Carolina that they actually went to a BCS bowl game. I feel like Clemson should be able to beat their in-state rival before they start slinging grenades down to Columbia. As a Florida fan, I would much rather beat Georgia or Florida State and then lose the bowl game (unless it's a national championship). Give Steve Spurrier a few days to retaliate, I'm sure he is learning how to create a Twitter account.
In other news, 'free agent' wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham committed to the Oklahoma Sooners (as a transfer) after visiting them this week following his dismissal from the Missouri Tigers. I guess he really missed playing in the Big 12. Or maybe he just likes the new Big 12 logo they created. The conference seems to be in the headlines this week, but I really only want news from them when they add two more teams to actually make it to 12.
Looks like Arkansas' head coach Bret Bielema wanted to be in the headlines this week, also. He called the move of Green-Beckham something he would "never do." In other words he doesn't take players with character issues. Someone needs to get him the memo that he's not in the B1G (Wisconsin) anymore, he's in the SEC. And in order to play there, you need a little 'nasty' streak to win.
On a somber note, Auburn's former tight end Philip Lutzenkirchen passed away this week as a result of a car accident. Always sad to hear things like this — our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. In his memory, here is one of his top plays while playing at Auburn.
For the rest of the summer, we'll speculate about what happens in the Ed O'Bannon-led antitrust suit against the NCAA. It's all over now and we'll soon get the verdict — and later on an appeal. Stewart Mandel of Sports Illustrated wrote a great piece about how the NCAA basically mishandled their whole defense and deserved to lose. He also wrote how Marcus Mariota would have been a great witness for the NCAA. Take some time to read it, and leave some thoughts if you could.
Another thought about paying college athletes — all summer during the off season you saw news of players being arrested for drugs, DUI, fraud, domestic violence, etc. Look, it is a very disturbing list to see what trouble some of these players get into, and now you want to give them some extra money on the side. IMHO, that surely won't end well!
I hope everyone enjoyed their 4th of July weekend. I know that we're less than 2 months away from the season, but once that first ball is kicked, all this off-season drama will be put on the back burner and then the playoff drama begins. So, we are all looking forward to Sat, Aug 30, against South Dakota in Eugene, Ore., at 7:30 p.m. Don't be late!

Warm weather hurries along grapes, leading to early harvest
Posted Tue, August 12, 2014 in All Posts, Harvest, Winery Update
Warm weather is hurrying things along in the vineyard and Harvest is just around the corner. We're looking at picking 2-3 weeks early this year, with the first fruit expected to come in mid-September. Overall the fruit is looking very healthy and exhibiting some very pretty flavors. The cool nights we've had and will continue to see help maintain a balanced acidity. An early harvest typically means we avoid the threat of picking into the rainy season which is ideal for Oregon Harvest. With a healthy yield this vintage, we have the advantage of being able to drop fruit while maintaining...
Healthy vines, happy fruit
Posted Thu, July 17, 2014 in All Posts, Winery Update
The vines are off to a healthy start this vintage, with healthy fruit set and ample sun to keep things progressing on schedule. The vineyard crew has finished leaf pulling at all 130 acres of Ponzi vineyards and has begun hedging. By lopping off the tops of the canes, the vine's energy is focused into the grape clusters. All vineyard maintenance this time of year is done by hand, ensuring minimal impact on our beautiful landscape.

You probably learned to speak Spanish in one of three ways: from your family; from school; or from pop culture. Movies, TV, and music have been a longtime source for our daily intake of bilingualism (here's looking at you, Ricky Ricardo!). And it's pretty evident that it's easier, and a lot more fun, to sing in our mother tongue than to recite convoluted Spanish sentences in front of the classroom. So we've rounded up some of the very best bilingual songs of all-time, so go ahead and sing-along -- you know you want to!

We caught a taxi to the airport and picked up our new car.
We drove to Peniscola. It took 2 hours.
After 2 hours we were at our house.
There are heaps of cats. They look stray.
There is a REALLY big castle over the edge of the beach.
Each day we went to the beach and did flips off a ledge onto sand.

The next day and most days we went to the beach and me and my brother did some back and front flips.
And today we are leaving Pensicola and going to near Alicante for 4 nights and it will take 3 to 4 hours to get there.
Picture Perfect Peniscola

Toured the catedral which supposedly has the Holy Grail that Christ used in the last supper. Greg says ''just another cup".

Slow Stitching Weekend
As I mentioned, T#1 is swimming a pretty important meet this weekend … the regional USA Swimming A-time Championships. Making A times means that on the 7 events for which he made A time, he ranks in the top 15% of 11-12 year old boys in our region (which includes southern Illinois and eastern Missouri … which includes St. Louis) … pretty impressive, if I do say so myself (I'll be honest and tell you that I am totally biased when it comes to my Ts). And I have to say that he did not disappoint his proud-as-could-be grandparents! He was ranked 16th for his 200 IM Friday evening and dropped 10+ seconds off his personal best to finish 5th! Here he's swimming the breast and then the free (forgive the blurriness … I didn't think to grab my camera … all I had was my iPhone).
Saturday morning he finished better than seeded and dropped time on all 3 events he swam, even qualifying for the finals this evening in his 100 fly (he was seeded 13th and finished 6th). We couldn't be prouder of him.
He's got 3 more events tomorrow, including the 50 fly, his strongest event, where he's seeded 6th.
Like I said, this is a slow stitching weekend. Warm-ups at the meet start about an hour and a half before the first event and T#1 swims in just 3 of the approximately 30 events each day. That means there's a lot of sitting and waiting … perfect time to work on some hexies!
And of course, we have some down time here at home (one of the benefits of the new Aquatic Complex built in the nearby small city … we're only 20 minutes away, so we can go back home to crash), so I'll be continuing to work on my hexies while I watch the first two periods of the hockey game before we head back for the finals tonight.
Rinse and repeat tomorrow.
I hope that whatever you have planned for today includes a little something that brings you joy! Have a great day!

Home Sweet Home
Home is sweet … the weather not so much. But our favorite people are here, and now so are we.
We got home around noon yesterday … we unpacked the car, and I unpacked the luggage and started the laundry while DH went to the store to bring home fixings for lunch. I finished the laundry by dinner … I guess I should fold it and get it put away, eh?
We've got some T-time coming up today. Perfect timing! And if that's not enough, we've got a swim meet this weekend … a pretty important meet. It's the USA Swim A Championships for the Ozark region. It's a meet that swimmers must swim a set time (or better) to qualify for … the qualifying times are based on the swimmer's age and gender. The times are fluid, changing from year to year to meet the following criteria (click on the picture for a larger view):
T#1 made A time for 7 different events … and is seeded 6th for his 50 fly (his strongest event). So hopefully he'll qualify for the finals in that event (top 8 swimmers in the preliminary events will advance to finals) … and maybe a few more if he has a strong outing. T#2 has qualified for several BB events … the championships will be held at the end of February.
Does thawing the turkey stress anyone else out like it does me? I worry about buying it soon enough so that there's enough time to completely thaw the bird and I worry about buying it too soon so that it sits in the fridge unthawed for too long. Argh!
The day before we left for "paradise", I tried to print something from my new laptop … it wouldn't print. I tried everything I could think of … trying to print from DH's laptop, trying to print from our iPads, rebooting the printer, rebooting the devices, rebooting the wireless router, reinstalling the printer software. While we were gone, I researched wireless all-in-one printers and had chosen a highly-rated one that was on sale at a good price. We were all set to run to Best Buy to buy it this morning when I decided to give our current printer one last chance … and of course, it works just fine! I don't have a clue what was going on with it before, but I won't complain about saving a few $$.
I hope that whatever you have planned for today includes a little something that brings you joy! Have a great day!

Reporting live …
… from the beach.
I'm not sure how much I'll be blogging until we get home, so I thought I'd touch base while waiting for it to warm up enough to get out on the beach.
We got in yesterday … just in time for lunch at one of our favorite little places … I suspect it could might be classified as a "dive", but let me tell you that if you're looking for fresh and delicious seafood and don't mind a no-frills, straight-forward environment, then I know just the place!
As soon as we finished lunch, we checked in at the condo, unpacked and headed straight for the beach. It turned out to be a lovely day … even nicer than the forecast predicted. It wasn't nice enough for shorts and a sleeveless top, at least not for this cold-natured gal, but I was comfortable in a t-shirt and capris.
No trip to the beach is complete without a photo of the sunrise … and although I debated whether I wanted to get out on the beach, I went ahead, figuring that even as chilly as it was, it was probably going to be the warmest morning we're here … so I'd better go. And I was rewarded with a gorgeous sunrise … one that my poor photography skills couldn't do justice. I was out on the beach for approximately 10 minutes and was able to capture the sun in its progression. Normally it's cloudy out on the ocean, so I don't get a good view of the sun until it's pretty high in the sky.
On my short walk out the beach, I startled a young deer in the landscaping around the pool … who knew that deer lived on the beach here in Hilton Head?
It's going to be another nice day today and tomorrow … then that massive cold front moves in. It won't be as cold as it is back home, but it'll be plenty cold enough for me. So we're planning on taking advantage of the warm weather while it's here. And when the chillier weather comes in, I'll just remind myself of what DH always says: a chilly day on the beach is still better than a warm day at home (paraphrased).
I hope that whatever you have planned for today includes a little something that brings you joy! Have a great day!

One Last Thing (or Four) ...
I got T#1's quilt finished!! I got the binding sewn on fairly quickly and had a couple of free hours Thursday afternoon and thought that I'd get a start on sewing the binding down. That went well enough that I decided that I'd get it done so I could gift it before we leave.
Ignore that dot over on the right and the poor lighting conditions ... I had to take this *late* Thursday night after I got the last stitch in and had washed and dried it. We will stop by their house this afternoon after the swim meet to give it to him.
It was a long day at the one-day retreat yesterday. (Note to self: pack the sewing room chair next time! My bottom is still sore ... thank goodness for our stadium seats ... these wooden bleachers don't look very comfortable). I didn't get as much accomplished as I'd hoped ... I don't think I had a very realistic estimation of how long it would take to make a block.
There are almost 60 strips in that 14" block. Obviously this is going to be another long-term project. ;-) I got 1 block finished and a second block almost finished (I need to sew on the final 4 corner strips). A fellow quilter has a project that is her retreat-only project ... this one may be mine.
I'm composing this on the pool deck while we're waiting for the morning session to begin. T#3 swims this morning in 4 events while the two bigs swim this afternoon. Rinse and repeat tomorrow. ;-) This is one time when I'm not frustrated at being so cold-natured ... I'm here in jeans and long-sleeved T and am quite comfortable. ;-)
I've done about all the surreptitious packing/planning I can do. DD plans to give DH her gift tomorrow ... I'm hoping to share my gift for him at the same time so we can pack up tomorrow night and be on the road early Monday morning. It looks like the "polar vortex" will only have a minimal impact on the Hilton Head weather. Even so, I won't be packing my swim suit. ;-)
I'm not sure how much blogging or blog reading I'll be doing until we get back.
I hope that whatever you have planned for today includes a little something that brings you joy! Have a great day!

Woo Hoo!!
I took the last quilting stitch yesterday afternoon and got the quilt squared up, ready for binding! Guess I'll be unpacking my sewing machine, as with any luck, I should be able to get the binding sewn on tomorrow … then I can pack it up to take with and stitch the binding down in the condo in the evenings after dinner. I've got the binding strips cut … from the red used for the centers and the narrower border.
While DH and I watching the hockey game, I put together another ornament … the 4th. I have one more to put together. I hope I can remember to stop at Michael's on my way home from DD's this evening to pick up some small jingle bells for the wreath … I've got the red ribbon.
DH and I stopped in at the Walgreens Take Care clinic on our way to vote yesterday, hoping that we'd get there in time to avoid a wait … only to discover that there was an hour's wait. Thankfully they now schedule appointments … the soonest I could get in was 9:00AM tomorrow. But at least I'll be getting my flu shot.
I am glad that this election is over, although I'm having a hard time finding local election results. I do wish I could find a truly objective source for where the candidates stand on more than just one or two hot-topic issues. It's so hard to know where the candidates stand with all the negative ads, and it seems like every analysis comes with an agenda (sometimes a not-so-subtle agenda).
I'm not sure whether I'll be doing much more blogging before we leave … as I mentioned yesterday, the next several days will be busy ones! I'm watching the Ts today, sewing on binding, setting aside as much as I can for our trip without DH growing suspicious, flu shot, and dinner with friends tomorrow, an all-day quilt retreat Friday, and a swim meet Saturday and Sunday. (It seems like it's all or nothing here at Chez Nana … I either have nothing going on like last week or something going on every day like this week. )
I hope that whatever you have planned for today includes a little something that brings you joy! Have a great day!

Tuesday's Trivialities
I'm continuing to make progress on T#1's spiral log cabin … I'm a couple of hoops away from turning the corner to the fourth and final side … the side where I started, right in the middle of the borders. I just might?? get the quilting finished today.
If I do finish the quilting today, I'm not sure that I'm going to push myself to get it bound before we leave … every single day between now and next Monday is full. Tomorrow I'll be watching the Ts … Thursday we'll be having dinner with friends and I'm going to do my best to start getting ready for our trip – surreptitiously, of course! … Friday I have an all-day quilt retreat … Saturday and Sunday is another swim meet … and Monday morning we'll be hitting the road bright and early. I'm trying to decide how to share the news of our trip with DH … maybe when we get home Sunday, I'll tell him so he can pack his own stuff (the clothes he wants to take, his meds, etc.).
I've got everything all ready to go for the retreat Friday. I think I have pieced enough blocks for DH's log cabin (I worked on that at the September retreat), so I think I'm going to start my two color pineapple quilt. I found 25" foundation papers from a link provided in Amber's blog. I cut strips back in June so I could be prepared for my summer retreats, but I never got far enough along to start working on my pineapple blocks. Of course, I'm reminded of the miniature pineapple blocks I started last year. I seem to recall planning to stitch up a block a week … obviously that's fallen by the wayside as I just did a count of my completed blocks … 13. Ooops! That's not even averaging a block a month. I knew it could be a long term project … I just didn't expect it to be this long.
Today is election day … DH and I will go vote this morning. While we're out, I hope to stop by the Take Care clinic at Walgreens and get my flu shot. Most doctor's offices no longer give out shots … I think mine still does, but I'm getting ready to switch doctors (my annual check up is due at the end of the month), so I'm just going to pop in at Walgreens and "get 'er done".
I hope that whatever you have planned for today includes a little something that brings you joy! Have a great day!

Slow Sunday Stitching and Other Stuff
I'm definitely going to be doing some Slow Sunday Stitching today … my plan is to continue to work on the borders on T#1's spiral log cabin. I have 1 side fully stitched, another side half stitched, and a quarter of the quilting done on a third side. As I mentioned yesterday, I plan to take advantage of the extra hour today … with my needle and thread.
Our temperatures didn't get as low as forecast Friday evening … not that it was balmy, but a low of 28 is certainly better than what was forecast … well, sort of. It didn't get much warmer last night, but tomorrow should be a pretty nice day – a high in the upper 60s.
Is anyone else looking forward to Wednesday as much as I am? While it won't be the end of the election coverage, at least we'll be done with all these political ads.
DSIL's sister posted wedding pictures on Facebook, so I had to grab a few of my Ts.
And this one, a candid shot of T#1 with his Nana, just melts my heart when I see his tenderness.
I hope that whatever you have planned for today includes a little something that brings you joy! Have a great day!
