I just have to say that today was a great day - I gave myself permission to stay home, rest, weed, cook, clean, and just do things that I never seem to have enough time to do. This morning I started the day with a Yoga stretch class - wow, I have a long way to go to be as flexible as the teacher!! -- and then came home and decided to tackle this quilt. I've had the pieces cut out for ages and ages but never got around to the sewing part. Well, I did that today! I'm pretty pleased with myself and how it turned out. It makes a huge mess -- I wish it was a "no strings attached" sort of thing -- strings (aka threads) are everywhere!! It's not 100% done but you get the idea of how it'll kind of look. Thanks to Jessica for the idea/inspiration! Sewing straight lines *is* ever so much easier than the stuff I was trying to do!

Cassidy 'n me in North Dakota. I think she was a little upset that someone interrupted our conversation just when she was getting to the really good part of the story she was telling me :-) Either that or she's thinking "Don't mess with my aunt!" I added more photos to the North Dakota reunion album - go check those out too! :-) All the aprons and chicken hat stories will make sense.
I went hiking this evening with a coworker. It was nice to be up in the mountains away from the heat!! Beautiful little hike, Naches Peak Trail Loop.
