Golden oldies

Three things to be happy about:
(1) all of the socks emerging from the dryer
(2) motion-sensitive lights
(3) smiling at nothing in particular

I found a picture yesterday that made me smile... and remember those long, long ago days when I was at less than the midpoint(?) of my Federal career.

Please don't ask me the year this picture of me was taken!  Evidently I had completed a major project that they wanted to commemorate with a photo.  My boss, John Philips, is holding a Regulatory Guide that I must have completed;  Reg Guides were one of the guideline documents the NRC engineers used in overseeing construction and operation of nuclear plants. 

The equipment in the background isn't a PC, it has KODAK on the label.  We used to have equipment with monitors that connected to a large mainframe that sat on one side of the room; documents were saved on hard disks that sort of looked like those old 8-track disks.  Who knows...


Moving right along...

When I was trimming the string blocks for my stars, I started tossing out the trimmings until I took another look at them my mind started churning. 

Now, the average person would have just tossed them in the trash and kept going - thank goodness I'm above average!

You have to admit, those are pretty decent sized pieces if you're a crumb champion!


I got the bright idea to sew them onto strips and see what I came up with; I think they have potential.

Crumbs unite!

Have a great Thursday; sew forth and sew on...
