Is fall ever coming?????

I thought moving to SC that our summers would be a little cooler. I want fall weather to come. Hopefully in the next few weeks. And a little rain would be nice too. Anyway..........

Here is all the stuff I got at Yes Yarn's 1 year annivesary sale.

I went a little crazy. See the green purse? It is really a knitting bag. I love it. After the week long sale Margaret went on a 2 week vacation and I ran the shop for her. Here is a picture of some of the people at "Knit at Nite".

There were so many people there. But it was great fun. The last of the people left around 9:30. I was surprised that many people came since it was the night of the beginning of the Olympic's.

Paige brought her spinning wheel and tried to show me how to do it. I broke the yarn 3 times and then gave someone else a chance to try it. I would love to learn how to spin yarn............. Some day.

Here is the new project I am working on. (Thanks to "crazy" Kathleen from the quilt shop). They are little "Blue Star" quilts. You hang them in your front window when a family member goes off to war. So I thought I would make one for Heather, Bill's parents and his sister, and one for us. This is the one Kathleen made. I have them all to the point where all I have to do is quilt and then bind them together. I want to get them done this week as I'm not sure when Bill will be called to go to duty. So off the computer to go finish them. Til next time...........Oh and go check out #1 daughters blog, and see what is happening with the evil dolphins.........haha!!!!

Puppy update............

just in case you were all wondering we found a home for the lab pup's. I put an ad on Craigslist again last night and a couple picked them "both" up. Hopefully they will be a loving family. It was a long week but I am glad we were their foster family. They really were cute and well behaved dogs. But no more, it was too emotional. But hopefully the lady who took them will send pictures of them like she said she would. Another chapter finished.............................on to the next.

Abandon Labs.............

can you believe that someone just drop these cuties out on the side of the road. What is wrong with people? We have taken them in and are being their foster family until we can find a good home for them. Gabby has named them Choco and Latte. They (we believe) are brother and sister, about 3 or 4 months old and very playful. They have been pretty good so far. Only bark if they are separated. We didn't want to separate them but it is hard to find someone who will take them both. But we will let you know the out come...........hopefully today someone will come............gotta love Craigs list for listing anything for sale or finding something you want, that's where we listed them............

Teaparty today....

Today I had some of my lady friends from the yarn shop over for a lovely teaparty. I almost forgot how to give one since it has been over a year since I put one on. But I think a good time was had by all. Here's a picture Gabby took of us at the table.....from right to left...Emerald, Kelsey, me, Margaret, Nancy and Annette. Margaret is the owner of "yes yarn" yarn shop that we meet every Wednesday afternoon and sit and knit/crochet. I am very thankful to her for opening this beautiful shop and that I have meet some lovely ladies that I can call my friends. Don't get me wrong, I still miss my friends in Florida terribly, especially "Lori". We use to have some lovely teaparties together. And always laughing hard about something or someone. But I have a new life here in South Carolina, and I really do love it.

Midlife crisis or what.............

I really don't know what is going on with Gary these days....
....here he is with another toy..........and a stupid tattoo...........then he made me get some tattoo's........
what was I thinking.............lol........old age crisis I think...............or just having fun and trying to let our kids know we are cool..............

Zucchini....

can you believe how big this zucchini grew. I was out watering this morning, picked just one and then went back and look at what I found. It is as big as Presley..........

Time flys......

when your having fun or just living life. I feel that there is just not enough hours in the day. If I didn't have to sleep or eat I would probably get stuff accomplished. I have so much stuff I want to make or get done that my mine just spins in all directions and nothing ever gets finished. Gary's down in Florida working the business for two of our employee's who are on vacation. They went to France....we must be paying them way too much money for them go there. Further est I have ever gone anywhere is probably Vermont or Maine when I was a little kid. What fun it would be to go to Maine and have a great big lobster. yummm....I have become such a home body. I really don't like going anywhere anymore, I love just staying home.

My garden is going pretty good, except for the tomatoes. They had these white little bugs on them so I sprayed them with this spray to get rid of them but I think it hurt the plants. It's all a learning experience. We haven't had any rain in forever, so I have to water every day. There are cute little frogs hoping around in there too. One big fat one that has been there forever that I named him "George". (after my dad) So far we had zucchini, cucumbers and strawberries. Still waiting for the green beans. Saw some baseball size cantaloupes growing yesterday. Their so cute. Can't wait to eat them.
I'm having some girls from the yarn shop over next Monday for a tea party. Hope I still remember how to give one since it has been forever since I have had one. And the best part is that I will be able to make my cucumber sandwiches with my own cucumber's grown in my garden. I just order more seeds for hopefully a fall harvest of veggie's. I'm hoping my older girls with be coming for Thanksgiving and we will eat veggies home grown.

Poor little Presley has to go to the vet today for his shots. I am a reck about it. I have no idea why this little dog has this affect on me. I have never loved a dog so much. The only thing I can figure is that he is so little and helpless. Or maybe I am just sick in the head. At least thats what Gabby thinks about me.

Here's a sign I got to put over my bed. I just love this saying. I think it should be everyones motto. "Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much". And it was 50% off at Hobby Lobby. I am so glad we have a Hobby Lobby near us. They have such great things. Thought I missed Joanne Fabrics but this store is so much better.

Well time to go to the vet....yikes............Presely with his boodie in the air...
