Summer seems to slipping by ever-so-gently. I’ve enjoyed these days of summer with my family, not doing anything particular, just being together. So much has happened, I’ll need to catch you up:
- my birthday gift of two parakeets. I named them Boo and Scout, taken from To Kill a Mockingbird
- we adopted an adorable 7-week-old Lab mix puppy, who we’ve named Shadow
- sewing camp every Friday with five little girls; this Friday we’re sewing American Girl doll clothes
- sewing beach backpacks for our upcoming trip to the beach. These were a project for sewing camp and I liked them so much I’m making them for my family.
- enjoying lazy days on our screened porch, reading, all of us. I finished People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks, and now I’m onto The Surrendered. Not an easy read, but something compels me to finish.
What are you filling your glorious summer days with? You will share, won’t you?
Well our summer just officially started up in Canada with the kids getting out of school last Tuesday. So far it has been really busy. My daughter-in-law just got a car so she brought my grandson Konnor up for the day. We had fun going to park and playing. Then on Saturday my daughter and Jonah (other grandson) came to visit for four days, which are always busy. Jonah likes to go places and we have to give him the program the night before. He loves the sewing machine so I helped him just sew some lines. He wouldn’t sit on my knee but wanted to do it himself. He is quite smart and although I had to put his little fingers on the right buttons after two tries he new which ones to push when. More to follow. We have decided to move to Stratford because we want to be closer to them. So that will give me a busy summer looking for place to live and then moving. I love to read and read all the time. I just finished a book that made me laugh a lot it was called “Hot Flash Holidays”
