Back in the saddle again ?????

Summer really ended with a bang!  I had a quick trip to Nebraska, and while I was there, my sister had a medical emergency.  I stayed almost an extra week.  She is still recovering, but stable. I was glad I was there to help my other sister and Mom.  But it sure is good to be home.

I got home just in time for Miss P's and R's birthdays.  We had a birthday breakfast in Portland to celebrate.  Miss P is EIGHT!!  How on earth????

Then we had two wool applique classes at guild - taught by Cathy Ware of WildHareFiberonline.  Such fun and don't you love it when the projects turn out oh-so-different!  This is my bouquet - to be worked on FoReVeR!!  Hand embroidery to finish the top!  Can anyone stand to have another UFO??  Hopefully, it will be finished before long - cuz I love it!!

 This weekend, the fun continues!  A and the boys came over for the weekend.  J is busy with the new school year and is busy working at home!  A little mist doesn't keep the likes of us off the beach!!  A lot of rocks were thrown into the stream!

Once I got home, well, life sped up in a hurry.  Just try staying away a week longer than expected ... there's a whole lot of life waiting for you to get caught up!  Just the way we like it, of course!
