Evening gals. Sorry I didn't get in this morning, but I had so much to do and T and Kelly came over early so I had to hop to it. He and Granddad are playing video games so he should be good until bedtime. It is great exercise for Jack too. Really gets his ole heart rate up.

Here is the little pink hat. I just love this one. I hope Emma likes it too. I am going to get all three done then will soak in cold vinegar water for about an hour to set the colors then wash them and wrap them as a gift. I think I have some girly paper.

Susan: I would make bets with the rain moving in that is the cause of the knee hurting. Barimetric pressure plays havoc with injuries to bones and muscles for some reason. Hope you get to feeling better.

Maggie: Sounds like you had a grand time. Hope Will got the lawn mowed in time! lol

Well, I am going to sit and watch T and Granddad play a couple more games then off to be for all of us around 10.

Talk to you tomorrow.
Faye

Good morning to you all. Just a quick peek in as T will be up soon and Granddad promised to take him and go on a donut run so I have to have things ready.

T brought his laptop with his vacation pictures and the one of my dd on the tarzan swing is priceless. They were all adults except for one 12 year old and little Thomas. Thomas was so small they sort of threw him off the top of the platform and he went swinging back and forth without a sound. Tom did a hilarious Tarzan yell when they pushed him off the platform, but all the women let off little screams, except my sweet daughter. You could hear her scream louder than anyone and as she swung out towards the trees and back you saw her kicking her feet back and forth. She got voted best screamer! lol I would never be nuts enough to do that. Thomas has a great picture of him walking up to a huge Iguana, I mean this thing was the size of a gator. I think T got within a couple feet of it before it took off. He has pictures with a gecko crawling on his hand and a giant rhinoceros beetle that is bigger than his hand. Gotta say, I am glad he had fun, but it sure ain't what I would want to do on vacation! lol

Jean: Have fun at the lake. Hope you have great weather!

Everyone have a nice rest of the weekend. I am off to finish up the hat with the little violets on it now that I have my tapestry needles.

Good evening, ladies. A perfectly lovely day today but humid.

When I got up this morning, my leg was fine. Go figure. I went to church this morning then to Kmart to pick up a few items of produce - peaches for 99 cents, baby carrots $1, avocados for $1. Got to save where I can. Food Lion had raspberries, strawberries and raspberries for $2 and blueberries for $3. So I've got some good fruit for this week. I made some pork BBQ for supper with some more corn on the cob and potato salad. Watermelon later.

I went to the book store and bought a new translation of the Catholic Bible. I wanted to get a larger print one before I start my bible study classes. Then I went to get some fabric for prizes for the quilt Challenge. Came home and watched a quilting DVR. I'm not much of a machine quilter and I do want to learn to do it better just so I can get more done faster.

Jean, trapunto is stuffed work. It is from the Italian. You put a extra layer of batting in some areas of the quilt so that it is raised after the quilting. Makes some gorgeous effects. I hope you have a lovely time at the lake. Its fun to get everyone together.

Faye, I'm so glad your daughter is coming around and letting you have more time with Thomas. I know you all had a good time. The hat is gorgeous.

Maggie, I tried to get a plane ticket but they were all sold out. Maybe next time!

Have a good evening!
