I came across this picture.....

I was looking through old pictures today, scanning some that were taken before digitial and I found this, which is one of the few pictures of myself I don't mind. It is rare, so don't expect to see more pictures of me. LOL!

Our Garden

Check out our garden. Tim built this contraption and it actually works pretty well. No weeding and it cuts down on pests. Tim loves a challenge. :)

Family

On Friday we had a small family reunion with members of both sides of my parent's family. It was so good to see all our loved ones. Chuck hadn't seen some of them in about 20 years or so.

Back from the Beach

We are back from the beach and this morning I just said good-bye to my mom and dad, brother and 8 year old son. He is going to spend time with grandparents in Mississippi. It is sad but very quiet around here. We had so much fun at the beach as you can probably tell from the photos.

The younger two made the paper!

John and Michael both made the newspaper the last month of school. They were so proud. John even got interviewed for helping write a booklet on the History of Mount Pleasant. How fun! Michael was included with his class, about half of which were going on the Kindergarten. He still has one more year of preschool and then on to the elementary school. Time is going by so quickly.

Completed Project!

I finished my first really hard project and I can't believe how prettily it turned out! This is so cool! It's a wool tote that you throw in the wasing machine when you're done and it felts. Here are some before and after pictures of the bag. It is a bit hot to use for the summer but it will be nice for the fall/winter. It took me about 2 months of knitting off and on to complete. My fingernails do not like wool. They get very dry and brittle when I knit with it. I'm not sure what to do about that. However, I am looking forward to knitting another. I purchased purples for the next one. We'll see.

Watched the season finale of "Lost". It really made my blood run cold when the boat people took Walt. I cannot wait until the fall to see the new episodes. I have never gotten so caught up in a show. Really intriguing. I hope they don't have some lame story line. But knowing the JJ Abrams creator it will be amazing. I also discovered a great website at abc.com to get little hints and clues. Cool and a bit spooky.

Well, Tim has taken off the bubble from the pool and I guess we will be swimming in the sunshine for the rest of the summer. Gotta go dig out the sunscreen (or not according to new medical findings and vitamin D). All puppies and people are doing well. Looking forward to a nice long summer. The kids don't go back til August 25th!

 

 

Summer is about to begin. Kids have one more day of school. Wow! That school year went by fast, but then again, they all do.
