He is Carter and cutie pie!!I had taken several other pictures and need to go through them.The ones of us girls all together did not come out on my camera every one of them was blurry.I will wait to get a copy from one of the others I hope! I sure wish mine had come out better. oh well, the luck of the Halls I  guess. We had a great time and enjoyed the visiting of the others we had not seen in  some time.

Hello

I bought peaches today! They sure do smell good I have tasted them and they are very yummy. Maybe tomorrow I will make a batch of peach jam and then make a pie or cobbler. They are the same kind I made jam with last year.Contenders from  S.Carolina. very good. I have the GGS here tonight and tomorrow I am sure he will want to help me with them. He is 4 yrs. old and very active.His name is Blaze. Well I am off here for tonight he will be up at the crack dawn. so good night all  chat tomorrow

A Great deal

Today I went to the Goodwill. I had been to the store just 2 days prior and seen some floss. So this morning I called to see how much they would take for all of it. I bought all of it  for 10 dollars I am thrilled. I am doing some embroidery and did not want to invest a ton $ into  it in case i did not like it. Well this will make it much easier. I counted the small floss baggies with at least one some had 3 and 4 in them   and the total bags were 240. I am so happy!

My neighbor bought a small bird feeder and water bowl to put in the yard for the birds. It is so cute. I have to have one or make one. I will take a picture of hers and post it for all of you to see . The birds can eat and drink at the same place. How cool is that for them?

HOT HOT here all week!!!

Our Guild Picnic

Had our annual picnic tonight. What a great time we all had.I do think everyone enjoyed it. We had great food and played some real fun games. Besides we did a PCP paint chip surprise. We had 25 people take part in it. That is a great turn out for any project!We had a fat quarter toss. Where you brought a fat quarter and we rolled them with a rubber band then tried to toss them into a 5 gallon bucket. If yours went in you won the fat quarters in it. if you missed you put yours in the bucket. The ladies and gents had fun trying to get theirs in. a couple of good winners.Then we had a word search

game on a timer and they won prizes for that. We also played a game of Quilto. using fabric cards. they enjoyed that one as well. Had them vote for their favorite PCP and no 23 took those honors. I had a fun time and enjoyed the festivities. I even won one of the center pieces. But here is the PCP that I received . Mine was from Jeri Fickes. Love the colors and will be nice in my kitchen

this was July 2nd

I wanted to post these the other day but did not find the time. I love to see the sunsets of summer and etc. I think this was very pretty.  Was another day here in Ohio!! think it was 94 today too Hottaken from my back deck  looking out over a cornfiled. beautiful

Returned and full

We have just returned from our picnic and gathering with friends. Man what good food.  It was wonderful and lots of people . The pool was full and the kids were having fun in the water.Which give the parents time to chat some. There was corn hole, soccer, and other games top play.  Sweet drinks and some new ones One was Creamsickle like the old ice cream bar. Tasted the same too, Then had some margaritas and pop beer water  tea. Most everyone was drinking water by the end of the eating. Lots of fresh fruit  and sweet cake and brownies. I enjoyed my visit and am always glad to return home. Now it is time to put my feet up and maybe do some hand embroidery this evening on my front porch!
