Good bye Summer!
Summer was a busy one for the grand kids. They went to Day Camp. They played and swam and played some more, their hair got lighter, they got tans and tough skin on their feet. Oh, such fun! But.......they have been back at school for 7 weeks and are just coming off a week of Fall Break. Summer break is shorter than where I grew up. They only get June and July off and then go back to school in the sweltering heat the beginning of August. The bright side is they get breaks all year long.
They enjoyed their Fall Break. We had some fun together this week watching movies, playing Monopoly Jr., looking for frogs in the yard, coloring pictures and painting (one painted a mini bird house and the other a tiny treasure chest for Mom). Plus they got two days at Fall Break Camp. Great week!

My Sampler blocks are coming along and here are two more to add. I need to get pictures of the progress. Slow and steady is my motto with this. However I am really enjoying working with the batiks. I haven't taken any pictures of the traditional blocks lately.
And last but not least a couple pictures of my favorite furry friends, my shih-tzu's, Smokey and the Bandit. They are indoor dogs and Bandit doesn't do well in the heat but loves to lay on the lounge chairs on the porch under the fan. Smokey loves to find a spot in the full sun and sit with his eyes closed soaking up the heat. Kind of strange for a black dog - maybe he is trying to get some Vitamin D! At least I can get a picture of him that way. Very hard to take pictures of a black dog unless he is in the full sun.

Peace and quilting,
