Bonnie thought Bob might have something to contribute to this blog, but evidently now is not a good time.  I'll check with him later.                                                

wedding reception

Some pictures taken at Katie's wedding reception.     

Last weekend

Some pictures we took last weekend of AJ relaxing in the trampoline, and Aliza and Zack at the MOM.

FOL tree

These are pictures of the FOL membership tree for the library.  I'll put in another one when we hang it up with leaves on it.  Also, I forgot to get a picture of the bird's nest.  I had to do 3 of them before I got one that I liked.

I just finished my Sunbonnet Sue block that Billie Dean did.  Karen gave one to each of the girls in the family - her daughters, daughter-in-law, granddaughters, and nieces.  The handkerchief that I cut up and put in the corners was Billie Deans, too.  I think she's very cute.

Friday challenge

Here's a new thing that Bonnie forwarded to me.  It is from writeanything.wordpress.com and each week, there is a new theme or challenge that you are to read and then write about for at least 5 minutes.  You can use it to work on your writing skills, or just for fun, like me.  Here is mine from yesterday - the sentence was:
In her right hand a woman holds a loaded gun, in her left, a coin that just came up 'tails'. and here is what I added: 
"Ha!", she exclaims.  "You lose, Kevin.  Lucky for you I'm left handed or you would be floating face down right now in the canal behind you.  I'm going to give you another chance to live because I'm such a nice person.  But if you aren't out of my sight by the time I walk over to that table, put down this coin and switch the gun to my other hand, my patience with you will have run out."
She sighed as she watched him roll his wheel chair away as fast as he could turn the wheels.  It was such a drag being beautiful.  All sorts of people were attracted to her, like trash to a vacant lot.  Well, maybe that wasn't the best analogy, but anyway, it got really old after a while, having to discourage them.

Katie's wedding present

Yippee!! Katie's quilt is finished - and with almost 2 weeks to spare.  Not bad!

Cracked tree

This is another casualty of the storm that we didn't notice at first.  It's one of the trees that my clothes line is attached to.  The tree man can't get out here until next week, so we won't know until then if it can be saved.
