Normal is a setting on your Dryer

Today is a "normal day" for us here at Corgi Hollows.  School reading time in the morning; Bible and Health,  Older children off to do math, younger children staying to hear American History (John Sutter's Ranch and the 49'ers)  Milly Molly Mandy (we begin early with British Lit) and Laura Ingalls Wilder (we're on Farmer Boy at present).  Spelling tests were today and very successful!   Along with loads of laundry (the Whirlpool 5.2 Cabrio is three weeks old and a WELCOME addition to the household appliances) we are busy baking because it is fall-feeling and we feel that urge for breads and cookies.
I'm looking for an embroidery pattern to use in fashioning pillow cases for a wedding gift.  My brother, who is a very eligible handsome widower, is to tie the knot in two weeks.  We are preparing for the trip to attend the ceremony in Chicago.
Off to sew and enjoy the sound of wet streets outside.  Normal is nice.
