License to drive

I couldnt help but giggle when my son was driving his grandfathers boat this past weekend, he kept uping the speed and would get this "big ol" silly grin of pleasure on his face. It was infectious, but then I got home and thought not so funny ,if he likes speed it wont be good when he is older and gets his license- I can fell the gray hairs already..........

Rain

I Love the rain. I love to sit on porch with a warm cup of coffee (or coff-a-cuppe) and listen to the rain, maybe a good book perched on my lap. The rain is also a good excuse to go shopping, although those who know me best know I don't need and excuse to shop! The rain means taking in a good movie or cooking a good hearty meal. By far my favorite thing to do in the rain is run around in it like a raving lunatic. There is something so innocent and fun- maybe even magical about running around in the rain. Most of my best memories take place on rainy days. Ask my son and he will tell you one of his favorite memories in his 7 years is getting caught in a rain storm walking the dog with mom- we laughed hysterically all the way home, shoes squishing and all. So its no wonder with the recent summer rain storms he and I run out there- daring one another to sprint out in the pouring rain to the tree and back- now that's a memory you cant buy. The neighbors must think we are crazy.

Back to Work

So its been a busy week. Its difficult to get back into the swing of things after a great vacation, luckily I have another week coming up in August. Been a little crafty lately. Made these vintage looking stars from the June Jenni Bowlin kit. I have them stuck in some old mill bobbins for now to take this picture.

So here are some more vacation pictures- (sadly they are not very good the tubing pictures were taken with a camera phone)

Vacation!!

Just returned from a great vacation in Maryland were we visited my sister-in-law and her family. They have this amazing boat and we spent most of the vacation boating on the Potomac river taking in the Historic sites and getting in a little recreation. My sons favorite was the tow tubing and water-skiing-(sadly my husband snapped these pictures and not a single one came out as his finger was always in the way). We also managed to find time to head over to DC where we went to the Smithsonian museum of natural History. It was a great Vacation- so much to see and do. Thank you to my sister-in-law, brother-in-law and nephew for having us we had a really good time.
