Two more purple blocks for my Dicey quilt were stitched this week while waiting...
Our son attends a WONDERFUL place called Gigi's Playhouse. It's an international non-profit organization. It was created for people that just happen to have Down syndrome. They do so many fun things there--totally free of charge. Our son attends GigiFit (a once-a-week, one hour fitness class) and GigiKitchen (a once-a-week cooking class). He loves the volunteers that make it happen. It's a very social time with at least a dozen of his friends. This is my "waiting" place two nights a week.
Below we are at another waiting place. He LOVES to magnet fish. I sew in the parking lot.
Below you can see him on the docks. Magnet fishing is throwing a "stronger" magnet (picks up about 80 pounds) that is on a 40 foot rope into the water. He fishes for things that are metal such a lures, fishing poles, chairs, tools, flashlights, hooks, and so much junk. He loves it.

The purple dicey blocks look very nice, Gigi's Playhouse sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like your son stays very busy like his mama. I have always wanted to try magnet fishing- sounds like a lot of fun. Your dicey blocks is another one of my favorites that you are working on. Enjoy your weekend, Kathy.
ReplyDeleteGigi's Playhouse sounds like a wonderful place. The Dice blocks are taking shape and I'm looking forward to seeing how they will all look together.
ReplyDeleteYour Dicey blocks are looking great. I love all the neutral background fabrics.
ReplyDeleteHow fun for your son to take classes. And his magnet fishing... I think I could get behind doing something like that. I'm always interested in what's under that water and left behind by others.
Looks like a fun time for your son. It must not be as hot where you are, no way could I wait inside a car for an hour here!
ReplyDeleteWe have a Gigi's down the road from me- now I know what goes on there. So glad that they are doing Owen good. Love your blocks.
ReplyDeleteI like the magnet fishing. . .he must find some real treasures! Those dice blocks are cool!
ReplyDeleteCleaning the junk out of the lake is a good thing. Never knowing what you will pull out of the water has got to be exciting!
