Pink Pickle

Ella started a fun little quilting pickle and our first meeting was on Saturday. We had such a great time...the food was yummy (I made chocolate covered strawberries!!) and Ella made a delicious layered jello salad. It was such a hit, we decided we have to have jello every time we meet! The weather also co-operated after a cold, wet June the day was beautiful!

I am excited we are going to make a quilt for Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer foundation, once a year they have a huge quilt auction. When I make my blocks I will post them...the colors are white, pink and green.

A Cherry for Me and You!

We had dinner last night at my sister-in-law and brother-in-law's house and they have a very beautiful, large garden. I was asking them about their fruit trees and she said because of all the rain and mild temperatures the Cherries are a month behind. I have never been so happy in my whole life for a cold, wet June.

Her trees were bursting with fruit, the evening was picturesque and I was in heaven. I loaded my bucket with wonderful cherries, the kids played soccer, the dads chatted and all while the sun ~ set. Who could ask for more?

I probably came home with five pounds of Cherries: I picked to my hearts content and my sister-in-law was so sweet to share.

Hello Friends!

Hi Everyone, I'm back. I went on a nice week long trip to California (with the boys) to see my sister and her kids. Relaxed by their pool, got burned at the beach and enjoyed yummy Oxnard strawberries. Since getting home I am trying to get back into blogging, catching up with my other sister who moved around the corner from me and house mommy mode.

On our trip home we rented High School Musical 3 (HSM3) for the kiddos to watch in the car. Once home I sat down and watched it ~ (much too dangerous while driving!). It was a very cute and I loved the music. Most importantly it got me thinking about how much I love musicals ~ they are my favorite type of movie! So I thought I need to make a top 10 of my favorite musicals.

10. HSM 3

9. Phantom of the Opera

8. Wicked ~ never seen it but

I read the book and I know it would be on the list!

7. Guys and Dolls

6. Les Miserable

5. Grease

4. The Wizard of Oz

3. Moulin Rouge

2. My Fair Lady

1. Camelot

What is your favorite Musical?

Tea Garden Skirt

It has been crummy weather the last several days with the sun barely peeking out over the clouds. I am beginning to worry about my flowers (not getting enough sun) and feel like the sun might now show itself for my birthday, very sad.

On to happy thoughts and speaking of birthdays; this is a busy birthday-celebrating month for many family and friends and one particular friend is turning ONE!

And I just had to make her a little something!

My Baby is turning Four!

Happy Birthday Big Boy!! Four years old is a big deal. Thanks Kimberly for taking such great shots of him. You really captured his free spirit. A funny thing happened on the way home from the photo shoot: he got a buzz!
