A couple of weeks ago, Jibe asked if I could sew their logo patch onto some picnic blankets. Sure.

I finished 10 of them and thought all along the way how to make the process faster, more efficient.

Grandchildren to the rescue for the final 20 blankets. Big thanks to Dad who made the suggestion. Everyone unboxed, unwrapped, and opened up the blankets. Sophia laid out one blanket at a time on the ironing board and pinned back the inside label, set up the ruler, patch, and pins.

I pinned and sewed on the patch.

Avery unpinned, refolded, rezipped.

Carson packed up the finished product:

Monday. River Park v Laguna. A hit to the outfield:

Avery scored the only run River Park got.

All the usual rodeo events including barrel racing:

And, of course, fireworks at the end:

Today when I arrived, the games were stacked in order of play. First up, bird bingo.

Carson always chooses a couple of memory games – he knows he can win those.
