There is a garage sale a couple houses away from us and I asked if I could bring the two high chairs and playpen down. Bob and I are carrying them over and another neighbor is running right behind us; they have a pregnant foster daughter and she bought a high chair and the playpen. I see the other high chair is still sitting there. If it doesn't sell I will take it to the church rummage sale this fall. I continue to sort through pictures. Why in the world I don't organize them when I get them is beyond me. 
I do have two envelopes of duplicates for Beth and Amanda so that made my pile a little smaller.Susan -- That is good news about Stan's prosthesis; a nice 'gift' to look forward for the holidays! Hope your day at work goes well.
"Gma" -- You have far more patience than I do to take out rows of stitches. I can never get the stitches back on the needles the way they should be.
I would hate to admit how many sewing projects I have put aside over the years just because I had to take a zipper out! My mom had lots of patience with sewing. She used to buy clothes and then take them apart to make them fit better. 
I need to get busy! At the rate I'm going I'll still be sorting through the same piles next summer! I did get a Christmas catalog yesterday and it is now in the recycle bag!
for me! Bob was in shock! 
Have a nice weekend!

Bob picked me up and we headed up to MIL's for Maddy's birthday party. Jason called and said if we didn't have jackets along we might want to stop and buy some. We did buy sweatshirts enroute. The temperature dropped 12 degrees in about 45 minutes. The sun never did shine but it didn't rain either, so the kids could play in the sand and go for a boat ride. We grilled for supper and it was after 8 before we finally headed home again. I am tired! 
It is supposed to be hot and humid again tomorrow. The weather can do what it wants this coming week, but I hope it cools down after that . . . in my dreams! 
in Iowa!
