Quilt Talk, Buc-ee’s Trips, and Coffee Bean Wisdom
6/27/20261 hr 12 min
In this episode, Leslie and Rochelle dive into a whirlwind of life updates, from surviving torrential rain commutes to navigating the "joys" of teeth whitening and new dental hygienists. We also celebrate some big news for Rochelle’s husband, Lance, as he transitions back to his favorite pipeline work just in time for July. Between dodging floodwaters and discussing the latest book reads, we find plenty of humor in the everyday chaos of life. It’s a relatable mix of professional shifts and personal hurdles that you won’t want to miss.
Then, we’re talking all things quilting and family fun! Rochelle gives us a deep dive into her complex Japanese-themed quilt project and demonstrates some expert needle turn appliqué techniques. We also chat about the legendary Buc-ee’s experience in Arizona and brainstorm the perfect plans for granddaughter Lily’s big birthday, including a potential girls' trip to Disneyland. To wrap things up, we share a heartwarming metaphor about eggs, potatoes, and coffee beans that might just change how you look at life's challenges. Join us for a session filled with stitches, stories, and plenty of heart!
