Summer colds....

It would seem that I have caught the dreaded summer cold....yucky! I came home early yesterday and put myself to bed for a nap. A little later, I heard the pitter-patter of little feet, and Caleb calling out "Gramma, what are you doing home?" He had come over to watch a favorite tv show that we tape for him every week, and Jack was going to take a nap. I told him I was not feeling well, and he might catch my cold. He said, "oh, that's ok Gramma, we are sick too, so we can stay!" So we watched "Magic Secrets Revealed" and Jack took his nap!

Jim and I are enjoying our deck this summer. We purchased a "balcony" table and chair set for the upper deck. The weather has been wonderful, and we eat out on the deck as often as we can. The biggest problem would be the darn mosquitos!!!!

For love is sufficient unto love....

Today, we helped two of our dearest friends celebrate their anniversary of six years at Buca di Beppo. Joe and Grace, as well as John and Jenny helped us to honor Finis and Jean, and their commitment and love for each other. We are fortunate to have such a loving circle of friends!

When you love you should not say, "God is in my heart",

but rather, I am in the heart of God."

New little quilt

It seems to get harder and harder to find time to quilt! But I did finish this little quilt and have another one ready to bind. I so enjoy making Jo Morton's designs, using her reproduction fabrics...the colors go with everything! After I finish sewing new curtains for the sewing room, I hope to do some more quilting...there is one pinned and ready to quilt.

This morning, as I watered my flowers, I just had to pick a few and make some arrangements to place around the house. Here is one of them sitting on my new little quilt.

On the deck.....

Jordyn was lots of help building our new deck. She really wanted to operate the drill, but was content to distribute the screws!

We are getting closer to being done! Can't wait!

Now where is that hot tub??????

Caleb is 5!

On Monday, Caleb turned 5.....how time flies. He is growing up to fast! He recieved several new costumes, and it was great fun to watch him model all of them for us! I think he is a drama queen....who knows, maybe he will be in the theater? I love his imagination and verbal skills. He is so much fun and very much a blessing in our lives.

God is good! He has blessed me with wonderful, loving children and grandchildren, and a loving, devoted husband. My cup runneth over.

Birthday Boy!
