08 13 - Flowers at the Medical Building

0813 Dr flower


It has been such a hot, miserable summer that I really noticed that the flowers at the doctor’s office building are still blooming and look pretty good.  As often as we have been here this summer, you would have thought that I would have noticed them before today.

08 12 - Giveaway Jeans

0807 Jeans


I think that I have given up on having a garage sale.  I found a whole box of kids jeans in the garage when Susan was here.  I threw away a couple of pair and washed the rest.  I am just going to give them to the Hope Chest at church or Goodwill and take it off of my taxes.

08 11 - Sample Wedding Ring Quilt

0811 quilt



I am anxious to get going on Beth and David’s wedding ring quilt.  My first challenge is to see if I actually have enough and the right colors of fabrics.  I could not decide if it was too dark, so I emailed this picture to Beth to get her opinion.  I was going to try to keep the fabric composition a surprise, but I needed her opinion.

08 10 - Coffee time at the Doctor's

0810 Dr coffee


We spend so much time at the orthopedic doctor’s office, that I just make myself comfortable with their coffee setup.  It is very nice that they have this in their waiting area.

08 09 - Leaves already??

0808 Leaves

How can my back yard be covered with leaves on August 9th???  Because it is so hot and dry that the trees are already shedding.  I have watered my yard quite a bit, but it is still covered with leaves.  That is one of the not-so-good results of having huge sycamore trees.  They provide a lot of shade, but they shed leaves and bark really bad.  I have to start mowing and bagging leaves or the water won’t even get to the soil.  Yuck!

08 08 - Ray voted

0807 Ray vote


Ray WALKED into the voting place.  That was a big deal, both to vote and to WALK into the voting place.  The picture is from yesterday, but it was important.
