Visiting the Grandgirls

 Just back from a trip to Columbus and a great visit with the grandgirls and their parents.  This picture shows 9 year old Isabel with the three ice cream sundaes she made to share with the family.

This picture shows Ilena, age 6 with the ice cream sundaes she made to share with everyone.  What a fun time we had with this!  We also did beaded bracelets and played games and read books---Isabel read to us instead of the other way around now!  We had such a good time!  Aren't grandkids the best of all?  We sure love ours and have such fun with them.

Tomorrow we get to see our grandboys as they will stop by for lunch on the way to Ashland, Ohio for the 4th of July.  That will fun, too.

This was a break of 6 days from any quilting and sewing.  So when I sewed several blocks together wrong today, I wan't too surprised----takes me a while to get back in the groove!  I still have some ripping to do---will have to finish it tomorrow.  Even cut some pieces wrong----oh dear.  Making a quilt that I have done several times before -----"Just Can't Cut It,"------ shouldn't be this hard.

Let quilting help you make someone smile!

What a Nice Vacation!

We are back from a very nice vacation with our daughter and grandaughters in Columbus, Ohio. It was a busy one and yes, we got tired, but it was a lot of fun! We went to help our daughter with the girls while her husband was speaking at a youth camp in Pennsylvania for a week. Our daughter works at home, so especially needed some help so she could get her work done! So we had tea parties and indoor picnics and played lots of Barbies and Little Pet Shops. We painted little treasure boxes and read books. Whew! My daughter even fit in a trip to the quilt store for me---wasn't that thoughtful?!! And she took her dad to a discount tool store. To say that we were a little bit busy would be an understatement!!! But we wouldn't have changed anything for the world!!!! We celebrated her _____birthday while we were there, too! I won't tell on her!! I am showing you some pictures of all the fun.

Maynard got to do a few things around the house---he loved getting out the saw! That's Isabel, 7 with me painting her treasure box and Ilena, 4 with Pop-Pop painting hers. Purple and pink----2 favorite colors!

Now you'll have to excuse me---I'm going to take a nap in between loads of laundry!!! LOL!!
