BUSY SUMMER

first the quilt is one made by my sister SYLVINA who lives in michigan and came out for a short visit a couple of weeks ago...the theme of the quilt is civil war and it is just beautifuul...we had a great visit with stu and syl..not long enough but  it was good to have them around for a wee bit..we met at  my other sister and brother  and their spouses at cornell  for the friday night concert ...then on sat we had to go to falconer for a carlson renuionm then back on sunday to go to the lake for a  tracy family renuiuon...

most of this summer we have been do a wee bit of remonlding to our house..our own habitat project..we decided to paint the back of the house 2 bedrooms--hallway--and the dining room of course all the same col0or..and then also have new carpeting put down...as you can ssee the color of the walls and a sample of the new carpet...we are now on the wait for the carpet to be delivered and installed...hope it is soon and we are both getting sick of living out of boxes..going from foom to room finding what we need to wear etc...but in the long run it will be worth...

garden is also keeping me busy as it is beginning to produce and i am trying to keep up with it...sure are enjoying the produce we are eating..

after the carpet  has been put donw then it will be time to start getting ready for the sept trip...

life goes on and we are enjoying it..
