    [ATTACH=CONFIG]418532[/ATTACH] Please excuse the redwhite blue picture above. My niece was showing me how to upload pictures again and we accidentally got that one! The lil fella is my great-grandchild, Noah. He said "A cowboy has to match his cowdog!" Here is a picture of his 'cowdog' Millie, lol!

    I am DYING from all these cute photos.

    Lara, the pups are toooooo cute! I want to come over to play with them! Thank God your son is OK. How scary!

    Bertie, Noah is adorable!

    I just love all the pix so much. It has been a rough couple of days around here and I desperately needed the smiles.

    Bertie, Noah is just too cute...
    "A cowboy has to match his cowdog!" What a riot! Wonderful picture! Jackson has a really sweet face - very expressive around his eyebrow area. And don't worry, Olive is at the park in that pic. We don't make her stay outside ...she sleeps with my daughter.

    Krystyna I am sorry the last few days have been rough and hope they get a lot better. We're you able to get all the veils finished?

    Kris: 19 hours driving by yourself - That is one long haul! Make sure you give yourself breaks to get out and stretch and if you get too tired don't push too hard. If you are going through Paducah I bet you plan to take a llloooooonnnggg break there.
    And don't hit any more deer. That would definitely not be an economical source of meat! We're lucky only to have to pay the deductible and most of all very grateful that Sam is okay!

    i am eagerly waiting for the quilt pictures that will be showing up any day now!
    Krystyna - still working on yours. I had a new idea for an addition for it strike me and am waiting for the fabric to get here.

    sistahdebbra what a great little DQ you received from BertieD.

    I'm still working on my little DQ for Krisb and have to say I could have finished the top last night if my machine would have worked with me. It took me an hour to make 1 3 1/3" block and then after messing with my machine it decided it wanted to play nice and got the other 16 blocks make in the next hour. Now to piece the blocks and add the border and then quilt it. Hope to get some quality quilting time in this weekend.

    I found that background fabric in my stash while looking for RWB's. Perfect! Have no earthly idea where it came from. Bottom right corner-Jefferson writing/signing the Declaration of Independence, Lower left corner-Betsy Ross sewing the first flag, Upper left corner- space to be conquered and upper right corner--we did it! Astronaut planting the flag on the moon! And Debbra said she loved eagles so there she has it all! I found a Liberty bell I liked and used that for the label on the back, crack and all, haha. Now July is taking me longer, haha. (What I look like and/or Where I live) Am thinking on it so far.

    Lara I am so happy that your Sam is okay! Our kids never get so old that we stop fearing for their safety! Peach is no help with bed making...He refuses to have any cover over him but he hides under the bed and my feet are TARGETS! I love the pictures of your dogs...your Silkie looks just like our Roxy and Katie...will always miss those little pups!

    Bertie, that quilt is so pretty! I love RED,WHITE & BLUE!!! Makes me cry to hear the Star Spangled Banner...Anna I am still working on the top of yours...It is almost done...just have to put the border on (the border is 184 pieces...still in 1 1/2" squares) I am hoping I will get that done today while I am at my mom's.

    Krystyna I am so sorry you have had some bad days...should have had more than your share by now. I am thinking of you and will get that book off to you in a day or so.

    Rough times with happenings with my mother. She did have a pretty good day yesterday but now she is in bed with the covers over her face. I feel like I am crying all the time.

    I just have the binding left on mine and hope to have it in the mail by next week.
    We finally are having our full 1st day of sun. It has been weeks since the last time the sun was out. The fields out here are just mud puddles.

    Bertie the quilt you made for Deborah really stirs the soul with patriotism - so wonderful! I especially love the eagle.
    Sharon my heart aches for you. It doesn't matter how old you or your Mom are, the process of losing a mother is awful. I hope and pray that she finds peace both here and hereafter.
