Part One of today's blog

-
Saturday we enjoyed the Sherwood Robin Hood Festival and Parade! It was fun to share in a day of Americana. nothing like a small town with advertisements from downtown businesses and dance teams, animals and girls working on their parade waves. Here are a few snapshots of the day.











Of course we have Ronald!



Can't tell but they had a bubble machine too.


We walked from Ginny and Darren's down to the town and on the way back we stopped and smelled a lot of roses. An example of the beauty of the day. I think this has been one of the nicest summers that we've had in a long time. So far, no days that are too hot and all the rest are perfect. We went on a long ride home after the festivities and bought fresh blueberries and some vegetables at stands out in the country. We live in a beautiful state with wonderful things to see and do. It was an outstanding day.

Camping in the Rain

 Hello Everyone,  We went camping at Barview Jetty a little while ago and it rained almost all the time we were there! On the way it was necessary to stop here at our favorite fish shop! Best shrimp, sauce, and clam chowder that we have found.  Excellent. We went there on the way to camp and on the way home. Even thought it rained so much, the clouds were spectacular. The sand had some cool patterns We had friends that camped next to us and we ate really well.  Some reading and stitching were also part of our days. A couple weeks ago we went to McIver park to camp. Again it rained almost the whole time we were there. Same friends kept us entertained and we continued with our eating really well. This is a reflection in the lake of the sun trying to come out. Mamma ducks and babies were enjoying the break in the rain. We have found out that our beloved Oscar has Prostate cancer and Cushings disease. It's a sad blow as we lost both our Silkies last year. We don't know how long we

 I decided it was time to bring my blog back to life. I thought about it for some time and decided it would be so nice to connect with friends again even if it's just with words. I have mostly enjoyed being at home and catching up with reading and sewing. My Etsy shop is doing well and I would like to share some of the things that are currently available.                                        I bought this tin in The Netherlands when I was recently there visiting my daughter and her family. They took me to a very cool old antique shop and they have Lots of tins. The shop had so many things that I would have liked to take home. But Not possible. This is another one! It's been fun finding things to put in the sewing boxes. They are listed in my Etsy shop thequiltingbshop.Etsy.com There are lots of size 12 Valdani Thread available too. A few of the ones that I just listed I brought home some beautiful French floss that is paired up with some wool squares and some that are listed
