Corky giving me the eye June 2004

I was looking through my Picasa files and found some pictures of Corky that were still in the "Road Trip 2004" file. I was preparing to drive to Kansas and then on to Pittsburgh with Ruth Powers who had a booth at Spring Quilt Market. Just before I left, Corky came to stay at Camp Del for a few days. Here he has tucked himself under some quilts thrown over the back of my late husband's recliner. He needed his face washed and maybe a better attitude. He was probably mad because I wouldn't go to bed. I always tell him he can go to bed without me and sometimes he will go back to the bedroom. But soon he comes out and stands staring at me, laying on the guilt trip. He and his parents retire around 9:30pm.

The quilt on the left was made in India, I don't remember where I bought it - maybe Cost Plus. It goes well with my blue/white family room and kitchen. The quilt on the right is the quilt I made for Corky when he was a puppy. He never chewed on quilts, just everything else!

I finally parted with the brown recliner this past summer. I do hang onto things - I rarely sat in the chair because it was too big for me. I am not tall enough to make it recline and stay there unless I literally laid down. But Corky enjoyed it occasionally.
