I can definitely relate to that one!

Or - if the cat did upchuck - one saw it before stepping in it!

2 of my granddaughters calling me last night to asking when they are coming over again so I can fix the arm on 1 of their little fairy dolls (a friend of Tinkerbell). It warms my heart to think they believe I can fix anything. They also asked me how to set the clock I gave them (it works with an iPhone)...over the phone. I had to tell them to ask their mom or stepdad that one or bring it back over next time they come.

3 of my granddaughters asking me when we are having another sewing lesson. So far this summer they have made an apron and 2 pincushions. The girls are 9, 9and 7. We have individual lessons on threading the machine, winding a bobbin, sewing straight seams, ironing without getting burned and most of all…having fun doing it! They have an adopted Auntie that’s having a baby soon. The next thing each girl willmake is at least 2 burp cloths for her and then a couple more to donate. I think it’s important for them to developthe love of giving.

15 yr old granddaughter went to Youth World in Georgia. 2,400 kids attended. This was the first time she has ever attended something like this and was a great experience for her. She came out in the top 10%. So proud.

love it when my niece comes over if only for an hour or so with her yard sale finds. She checks out the estate sale ads. She's 10 and first thing she does is toss it into the washer. She's working on scrappies and has the 1/4" seam down pat. She has gotten to wear she can look at a seam and tell what size it is. Mom won't let me post her photo. She won't let me post her work.

The broccoli matured before the livestock got on it.

Waking up and opening up the windows and doors to low humidity after a heat wave with humidity in the 70's.
