UFO's


Kit gave me these blocks and I finished the top for a charity quilt.


This is the challenge quilt from last summer. Each person in my quilt group made 9 blocks and then we exchanged the blocks and put together our own quilt. The quilts all look very different and beautiful. Mine is done now=)


This is a queen sized charity quilt for Jody's home. The blocks came from Peg and her sister.


This wool project has been in the works for years. Finally done=)

I have been working on unfinished objects in my sewing room with my fancy new sewing machine=) Here are a couple of quilts that will be used as fundraisers for Jody's group home. I'm not sure how many UFO's are facing me because I can't count that high=) Today I am working on the 29 holiday pillowcases for the grandkids.

Tumbleweed


You never know when one will blow into town, but Bill is in the Phoenix area. He and his wife, Teresa, came to dinner with our gang. We think it's been about 4 or 5 years since we have been together and it was nice to get caught up. He is working here and who know how long they will be around. Family is a good thing=)

The Fish Pond



Roy and I cleaned out the fish pond. It was an amazing task with pungent smells. We reduced our fish population by about 200 and kept our herd of 5 red eared slider turtles. We have about a dozen fish left. Hopefully it will stay clean for a while.

Fourth of July


Our ward had a Fourth of July breakfast and the kick-off is a parade by the kids with their bikes, etc. decorated. They ride from the school parking lot to the park which isn't even a block. It is really cute and Michelle helped Deacon decorate the Freddie Flintstone car so he could be part of the parade=) Roy and I went to a swim party with Brook and Travis at Judy's house. We had a great relaxing time watching Charly and Will swim like maniacs. I think we may have been watching future Olympians=)

Shoes


Charly and Deacon were spending the night here together. Charly brought Deacon's shoes to me and wanted them on her feet. After Deacon noticed that she had his shoes on there was a protest and he insisted on wearing her shoes. I think it is a nice look=)

Off to Florida



Marx and Maddox headed to Florida at the beginning of June. Kris has a job there for a year and then hopefully they will be back. We have talked to them on the phone and they are loving the beach and Sea World. We can't wait to give them a hug=)

Molly Girl




Cambria and Molly came into town at the end of May, Greg and Alan stayed home and worked. Molly didn't warm up so well to Papa but would tolerate him if he would do what she wanted him to do. Cambria tried to get 80 thousand things done and went home with not one square inch of room left in the van, I was happy she didn't get pulled over=) Cam brought a pinata and we had a great time breaking it up and getting out the goodies.
