Sue Banman Sileci

What are three things that happened in the month of May that were pretty exciting?

• I finished one quilt and started another which I then finished June 1. They’re both full of quilting and look really cool.

• Four of the six books I’ve been working on for three years were finished up and sent to China for printing. The last two are due in China at the end of September but it’s a long, long road till there.

• I pretty much consistently humiliated Riccardo in doggie soccer. Doggie soccer is a game in which we throw a Frisbee-like disk at a small opening in our outdoor garage, hopefully throwing it through the opening and crashing into a metal door just beyond. Cookie chases the ball and brings it back. We play every evening after dinner and no matter what Riccardo will try to tell you, he seldom brings home a victory.

What worries you about the month of June?

Not a lot beyond the cold. You all laugh that it’s not that cold here. “You don’t even have snow!” But it can get down to 40-45 degrees and we don’t have central heating. You do and you turn it on with those temperatures. So I’m worried that it’ll get cold like that again as it was last week and stay that way for too long. Last night I did figure out a cool way of warming up the bed which involves minutes of strenuous scissor kicks and fake bike riding under the covers but Natalie claims it made no difference and only messed up the sheets. She’s a bit of an ingrate, I must say.

Is there anything in June that looks pretty darn interesting or fun?

The girls will finish school on the 15th so then we can start staying up till all hours of the night watching movies and wrassling around. You gotta love that.

You obviously were really proud of your new manicure too, huh?
