LIFE..... How does it go so fast??? Many days here have been full of goodness. Many days have been nonproductive.... can we just rewind and do summer again? HUM I don't think I have ever wanted to say that. I am usually not a summer girl but this has been a summer that has gotten away from me.
Here is a summertime review of my life in the fast lane.
Here is a summertime review of my life in the fast lane.
I planted my flowers in AUGUST!
So they are a bit behind.
I had decided I wasn't going to do flowers this year on my porch.
I thought I didn't have time to water and care for them everyday.
Then decided that I couldn't live without them.
So I bought them the end of June and they patiently waited to be planted.
I have worked on Little Pink Projects
which led to Bigger painting projects
Free from the curb ....
finally getting it's long overdue
face lift.
Miss Table , You look Marvelous :) my dear!
The pink basket..... still not sure about.
But my granddaughters are always finding a use for it.
I couldn't be happier with white paint!
We have had TWO Golden Birthdays
I have eaten pie and I have Stitched Pie
We traveled to Colorado for a family wedding.
We have gobbled down home grown goodness.
I have decorated and
Celebrated Red, White an Blue.
I have Made enough for all....

We met this lady in one of the towns.
By the patch on her bike we discovered she is a

Always inspired by the People who do RAGBRAI year after year.
I rode my bike through Sheldon where we once lived.
So many memories in this house for my kids.
