Fargo Stay

I arrived in West Fargo, ND, on Friday evening and had a good visit with my daughter. We all went to bed early because they had to get up at 3:00 am and leave for the airport in Fargo by 4:00 am. They will be gone until next Saturday evening. Chipper, their dog that I am watching, started pouting as soon as the suitcases came into view on Friday evening and he has been one "sad dog" ever since. He does such a good job of being the sad doggy!!


Saturday was a lost day for sewing. Chipper cried after my daughter Natalie and her husband, Norm, left. That meant no sleep for me. I am such a sucker for the "sad Chipper". He really is adorable. On Sunday, I was finally able to get down to work. I have been sewing on part two of the Orca Bay Mystery quilt.  Good thing Norm can't see what his kitchen looks like right now. He "loves" to give his mother-in-law a tough time (all in good humor). Actually, I think I kept it pretty neat.



It is Monday morning and I am finishing the last of the string blocks. I have only six more of the blue string pieced blocks left to do. There are 72 of these for part two.


This afternoon I am going to see the movie "The Girl With The Dragon Tatoo."  I have read all three of the books in the series and seen the Swedish version of the movie. It will be nice to see this movie and compare.

It is so nice to be only a few minutes from all the amenities instead of a minimum of 20 miles to anything. I intend to take advantage of everything being so close by.

  1. You've probably posted earlier, but how long are you staying in Fargo? Sounds like you have some fun plans! I intend to see that movie soon - we've read the books in our book club & loved them! Chipper looks like a really sweet loving puppy - I'm glad he has a fun caregiver!

    1. Hi Teresa, I am staying in Fargo until Sunday, Jan. 22. Fun being so close to everything. The movie was good. Not sure which version I like the best, Swedish or American. Chipper has been intertaining company!! LOL

  2. Oh...I always love to see where people are sewing and it looks like you are making good use of your space. I took over my son's whole downstairs when I went to visit...he never said a word...

    1. Hi Barb, My daughter actually has a sewing/craft room but she is almost 6 inches taller and her cutting surface was just too high for me. The kitchen counters worked the best for cutting. I will be posting some pictures of her rooom because she cleaned it up for me to use and it looks cute and functional.
