Look at me I can sew

Megan follows directions with precision. I have enjoyed teaching her some new skills. She can sew with me anytime.

Megan made this skirt herself. What a beauty...

Goodbye sweet kitty

Today is a sad day. We had to have Baby put down. He has been sick and I don't want him to suffer. He has given us over twelve years of enjoyment. I hate this part of owning pets. They become so entwined in your life that it is hard to let them go. Baby was one of a kind. He enjoyed a life of adventure. He began by naming himself. I had him a week before he responded to "you are such a Baby." So Casper became Baby. He loved New Orleans. One time he got out and I couldn't find him. The next morning I heard him crying. He was lost and crying on the third floor of the building. We lived on the first floor. He seldom tried to get out after that incident. He loved company. Anyone who came to visit, he eventually let them pet and hold him. He especially liked people who had cats. He could pick them out everytime.
I will miss him. He was company when Jim was gone, he was funny and playful to almost the end. No more pets for awhile, it hurts too much to let them go.

A visit to Lyons Colorado

Maggie Stewart models my dog coats that I plan on selling at the Smoky Hill craft fair in November. She loved it. she pranced around and let me mess with it. After the pet show, Patty took us to Lyons and we had lunch at a German restaurant, shopped at a nice quilt shop and just had a nice afternoon with Jim's sister. It was a wonderful way to spend a Sunday.

Instead of going camping this weekend we are catching up on home organization...

updated photos

Some times I get in a hurry and post pictures you can't really see. Today I edited the pics so you can really see the children. Sorry for the others, I will try to post visable pics when possible. Mary
