The Business of Life...
Not only are you being served a mimosa by a member of the extended Grantham clan, but there are many others there to enjoy mimosas too: Lord & Lady Grantham, Carson, Anna, O’Brien, Thomas, Bates, Daisy, Mrs. Patmore, Rosamund, and Rose. Even Julian is there, which you find a bit odd, but is by now something you are quite used to.
After all the mimosas are passed round, you call for a toast. Everyone starts pointing fingers at one another, but you have someone special in mind.
“Mr. Carson,” you ask. “Will you do me the great honor of presenting the toast for this occasion?”
“Certainly,” he replies. He clears his throat, and recites a fitting line from Season 4. “The business of life is the acquisition of memories. In the end that's all there is.”
“Hear, hear!” shouts everyone, and you all take a sip of your mimosas.
All of a sudden, while you’re sipping your mimosa, you get a feeling of déjà vu. You start to feel a little woozy. Your vision starts to get grainy, and just before you pass out, you bid everyone farewell.
You wake up next to your sewing machine, surrounded by dozens of quilt blocks, and to the TV playing an episode of Downton Abbey. That will teach you to binge-watch Downton while you sew!
In the meantime, you’ve got all these blocks to put together into a quilt, and a mimosa sounds like just the thing to have before you dive in.
Well so many options to think about. Here are some of the possibilities and my final decisions. Worked on it a lot today and have only the top and bottom row to attach.Too cold downstairs this evening, so will attach tomorrow just to finish it prior to leaving for Arizona.
