We just got back from an Alaskan cruise on the Nor We just got back from an Alaskan cruise on the Norwegian Bliss. Alaska is beautiful! Part of our trip was a little altered because there were too many icebergs. We also couldn't dock in Victoria, BC due to high winds.

Literally every kid at the party were honor students. All of them were super nice and respectful. "Show me who your friends are and I'll show you your future." It's good that she has a few silly friends for a nice balance, too.

I had a belated mother's day breakfast date with m I had a belated mother's day breakfast date with mom since we were both busy with our respective church schedules this past weekend. She had a strawberry Belgian waffles and I had the adobo chicken and waffles.

Mom had a lot of "church lady chismis." It was pretty cute that old ladies can still act like teenagers. She also mentioned a Burmese restaurant that my Ninang Nora recommended so I showed her a picture of @paing_takhon_official and she was pretty impressed. 🤭🤭

It was a fun morning.

It's been a while since I've pieced a quilt. Ever It's been a while since I've pieced a quilt. Ever since my friend, Pam, passed, I didn't have the motivation to continue. I'm sure she'd be happy to hear that I opened up my UFOs (unfinished objects) and that I am using up her stash of fabrics.

This quilt has taken literal YEARS. I need to finish it so my daughter can take it to college with her in August.
