Fishing

Look what I caught

Flying geese

One crazy month

Crazy isn't the word....leak in my rv...repaired at a cost of 2100.  Water heater has a leak and starts an electrical fire in my garage.  We are frantic to get the corvette outside as the it is filled with smoke and flames shooting out the heater.  Call 911 and grab an extinguisher.  Luckily we did not go out grocery shopping as planned earlier!  Three weeks away from my quilting haven.  I leave, stop at the bank and the car doesn't start.  I sat for half an hour in 100 degree heat in a black car before it started.  Finally get home , cut the car off.  Dan says try to restart it.....nothing.  I tell you August just isn't my month...thank God it is almost overa'

Almost August

Well it is nearly August and I have lots of plans this month.  Taking The Good Life (that is what I call the boat but Dan doesn't know that) out offshore in hopes of catching lots of fish.  Trying to finish all the quilt tops I plan on doing as Christmas gifts.  Reorganizing the garage. Finishing the organization of the quilting room.  Working on facepainting designs for the Family Reunion.  Finally, having our buddy Ken do some repairs on the interior of the RV.  I think I have quite enough......oooops....how could I forget???? Go see Get On Up and Guardians of the Galaxy!!!!!
