On the road.....




Strains of Willie in the background.......wishes for a great week to the mamas who are traveling to the Jersey shore this weekend....you know who you are. LA and the gang headed down to Virginia Beach today....safe travels to y'all. Hope the coming week is filled with relaxation and fun. Pam......how're things at the  Delaware beach? I heard reported sightings of Mr. Incredible on my block yesterday - and sure enough, there was a new container of fabric on the front porch. When you come back, feel free to come over and peruse the contents. Take care, all......piece.

Fiery Friday.....

Flaming Friday......take your pick. It's going to be hotter than the hinges on the gates of hell. A very nice gathering the other night. It was nice to just sit and chat for a bit....a cuppa and a catch-up. Anyhow.....everyone is well. Lois is headed to Ohio this weekend for the family reunion. Have a nice trip! Kara and family are supposed to come soon....don't know the date yet. Casa Henderson is preparing for the coming of the Italians! Oy......new furniture has been ordered too (not for them - it was just time). Mare was down the shore - hope you're relaxing. Lori filled us in on her Alaskan cruise - sounds like it was terrific! She even zip-lined with Lindsay - how about that!!! LA looks wonderful.....but is feeling the heat. Stay at the pool and try to stay cool. Dolores - how are things with you? Cath - how did Kerry's friend do at the idol competition? Is anyone sewing? I started something yesterday upstairs and it was just too hot - so Bernadette, the ironing board and the cutting board made it down to the kitchen table in the A/C.....ahhhh....that's better. Pam - hope there are cool breezes down there in DE.  Take care, ladies...stay hydrated and in a cool place. I know a few folks are headed down the shore next Saturday for a week of r&r.....wishing you ocean breezes and water ice. Piece......

Hot, hot, hot....

Yes - it is! How is everyone? Cath, thanks for a nice bee last night. Lois, Dolores and I were in attendance. Dolores' parents' party was a success! So glad to hear it. And she's busy working on a few quilts - as always. And the Byrnes' central air should be completed today - hallelujah!!!! Cathy had some terrific red/white and blue blocks - to make the red/white/blue quilt she's always wanted. She also had two baby quilts basted - so much nicer than doing homework!!!! We got to chat with Mike and Kerry too - always a bonus! Lois and George are enjoying their pool and escaping the heat when they can. I made a flip-flip pot holder that I picked up in Ocean City at the quilt shop. Very few kits - kind of empty looking. Cathy said their last newletter said that if a buyer wasn't secured by the fall, they will be closing....a shame. That used to be such a nice store. The Fitz's are in the Great White North - hope they're having fun. LA - how's that baby coming along? Are you holding up in the heat? How was camping? I thought of you that whole weekend. Saw Maureen on the 4th - hope things are working out ok with the settlement on your Dad's house. I know it got pushed back......good luck! Mare - what's new with you? How was Kevin's first birthday? Doesn't seem possible, does it? Pam - are you luxuriating in your time off? Hope you're having a terrific week. Is Scott off too? Seems that a new carrot is needed, a new ticker.....something to look forward to, hang our hats on.....is that enough cliches? How about an Evergreen weekend on Nov 4,5 and 6? How does that sound? Last night's attendees are on board...just wanted to check in with others. Let me know your thoughts......I think that's about all the news.....stay cool.....hoping to see all the mamas soon. Take care....piece.
