Summer's almost over...

...can you believe it? Have had a busy one, like everyone else! Daughter, Grandchildren visits (all 4 over multiple days/weeks), trip to PA family aunt/uncle 80 & 85th birday celebrations, side trip to Gettsyburg, south Indiana for dear mil's 90th birthday lunch, 35th class reunion, Blickenstaff family reunion (named Blick-nic - isn't that cute)... lots of artzy things everywhere!!! Attached are some gorgeous photos from cousin Kay's home where the Blicknic was held... she's a very artistic lady for sure!!!

Als0 have spent time catching up on my crazy quilt stitching internet group lessons, and working on a new Jack's chain quilt at Ruby's on Monday evenings.... as well as finishing up the Road to Oklahoma which was finished by the quilter Sharon in June. Have a few ornaments in progress, and trying to find time to read a few books as well... in between just working and enjoying time w/my sweetie Joe and getting together with friends back in Michigan!!

Blessings of the week are simple ones.... a good personal support system, patience at work, and some time at home after being gone most of the evenings and weekends the past several months... Looking forward to seeing my son from North Carolina & his wife for a few hours - they're home for her 10th class reunion for just a few days, so we'll picnic with them on Sunday for a few hours... another blessing for sure! Take care, have a great holiday weekend!!
