The Summer of 2010, July

This is a wonderful summer here in MN.  getting lots of use of our pool, swimming each day, in the evening.  Birthdays seem to be increasing in this family as it grows.  Allison, -18. Nevie-5, Rose-2, Liam-1, Earl-66, Chris-40.  I can't keep up with them, as much as I try.  Our gardens are growing with flowers, and vegetables, and look pretty good this year.  I got to spend some one on one time with Alaina, thanks to her mom, by signing us up for a community ed class together.  We had a "Spa Day" together.  We painted our nails, made some facial stuff for our faces, made some bath crystals, tried hand lotions, and massaged them, and made a sign for our own retreat for do not disturb time.  We both had a good time together.  I loved it.




Nevie is FIVE!

I also was busy finishing another quilt for fellow retiree, Barb Prow, who worked on our floor for 35 yrs.  We share birthdays only a day apart.  No one was going to give her a quilt, as they couldn't find anyone willing to put  one together.  I felt she deserved one, too, so I volunteered.  Each co-worker made a square, with the theme of camping, and cats.  Joanne Versteeg offered to have a party @her home, so we all brought food, and had a nice time together.

Funny thing is  she doesn't particularly like cats, and the quilt was full of them.  Oops!

She also got fishing equipment from the staff.
