Midweek Update

We all had a terrific weekend, but I'm just getting around to sharing.

Julia went to the Junior Prom with her best friend Sean, and they had a great time! She looked so beautiful and happy. What more could a mother ask for?


Bill & Pete went on a Boy Scout canoe trip. Pete is the Senior Patrol Leader of his troop and he is becoming an excellent leader.

I don't know what he's doing up on that tree branch. There are some things a mother doesn't need to know!

While the boys were away, I managed to get some sewing done. I was looking for something new and came across a tutorial on Leah Day's Free Motion Quilting blog. It was a guest post by Ali from asquared(w) called Crossing Paths. As soon as I finished reading the post, I started pulling fabric. It is an interesting technique that I would like to try again in different configurations. It is basted now and waiting to be quilted.

Sunday was a full day of picking up the guys, a community concert, a softball game and a choir rehearsal! That's Julia down and ready at first. She had 2 great hits and made a bunch of defensive plays.

On Monday, I needed to have minor surgery. I'm up and recovering nicely. All is well!

I love this primrose and I wish I had more. It has been so gloomy. I'm glad I got this pic during a break in the rain.
