Just Three More

The is the popular front deck of the houseboat, and where the kabobs were grilled!
Can you believe it? Greg actually played two different games!
He also had a nap on a cool morning. We'd love to go back!

Because You Asked.........

One of my many readers (Kallie) wanted more pictures, so here are a few more. This is the top deck of the houseboat where we all slept under the stars in our own little tents.
Greg and three of the other men brought harmonicas and gave concerts on a daily basis.

More rocks...the rope is one of the boat anchors......
A view of the eating tables, kitchen and couches. There was plenty of room, it never felt crowded.
This is looking across the very deep channel from the boat. We would swim over to the other side, and find little lizards looking at us.

Lake Powell Trip, WOW

Greg and I spent a week relaxing on this 70 foot house boat. There were seven couples, and it was a lovely time. We ate, played games, swam, and rode jet skiis.
It was glorious scenery, and wonderful company. We would do it again!
My swimming buddies.......................

Two Quilts Finished

I just finished binding this quilt...it is LARGE. The center squares were exchange blocks that I won at quilt guild. I had it machine quilted, and I like the way it turned out.

This baby quilt is made from soft flannel, and I big-stitched it. Do you think it will do well at the fair?

Summer Birthday Fun

Just let me tell you, Rhya LOVES peas from the garden. She will eat them as long as someone helps her, in this case, grandpa.
I have spent most of the last two weeks celebrating my birthday. We love an excuse for parties, lunch with friends (several lunches!), and family times. Kallie and Ryan even came for the weekend, and here is my birthday present from them. A full pedicure, one of my favorite things to get! I was spoiled for days by my husband, kids, and grandkids!
The finale was a yummy family dinner, birthday cake and all, at Adrienne's house with everyone attending. I guess it's finally all over until next year.

Red and Green

Just thought I'd show you the first of the garden harvest. This is the last of the spinach and the first of the peas, zucchini and raspberries. Yum...........

Vacation time: Wallowa Lake and Washington

We had a great reunion in Oregon. Here are
some of my favorite pictures. Weston was happy as long as no one bothered him while he was eating his cake.



Braden and Avery loved the beads that
Aunt Valerie provided, and Braden is
the "KING" and
Avery "the Princess".

The "adults" (I think that means "old people")
all went to dinner one night while we were in
Washington. It is amazing to me that we are
all looking so old! You can tell that JR took the picture,
because it is from way up there.





































The kids loved the water that ran just behind the cabins.







The quilt is the one I made for the reunion raffle, and it was won by little Clara. It has all 71 names of the current family of Leon and Mary. Each generation is represented by a different color.
