Waiting for the 1 pm hour is always a challenge. The boys are always so eager to get there and so we left early to get a spot in the line. We were not first but we were definitely not last. Once we passed through registration, Bill took Walker to get settled and I accompanied […]
It’s packing time! Both boys leave for camp tomorrow for a week. The lists have been reviewed and the trunks are now packed and ready. We’ve been collecting stickers to personalize their trunks. It’s fun to see the reminders of places we have gone, the clubs they belong to and the activities they like to […]
Today I had to take my car to the dealership in Jasper for its oil change. I have been to Jasper a few times since we moved to Indiana but never taken much time to explore the area. One of my friends suggested we take a walk along the riverfront. Riverfront? I thought Jasper was […]
Camp is coming! Since the boys have not spent a lot of time in the water over Winter and Spring, we thought it would be a good idea to get them in the pool to build some endurance before they take their swim tests. As the morning plans unfolded, I thought it might be nice […]
Today is the last day of school and no one is more excited about it than I am! Our school day started with the awards ceremony. Walker received a BUG (Bringing Up Grades) award. I believe he actually earned it for keeping his grades up. He had a stellar report card. Then it was time […]
This weekend was the Spring Cub Scout campout and we had secured a great venue at Angel Mounds. We arranged for Father Joe to come out and celebrate mass for us on Saturday night which is no small feat given the priestly shortage. We made all the plans but then we started to see rain […]
Here is my lovely group of friends who swapped with me this round. From left to right: Jenni, Jen, Cynthia, Shannon, Kim, Megan and Becca. In that order, I’ll show what each person contributed. Jenni made origami fabric stars. She used batik fabrics from a jelly roll. The strips are 2.5” by 42” and interfaced […]
My desire to reduce my stash has been a driving force behind whatever I have chosen to make for my craft swap and this round was no different. In the past, I had toyed with the idea of making aprons but looking at my stash, I didn’t really think I had enough yardage of the […]
We couldn’t have been happier to celebrate Bill! He woke up with the birthday quilt and went off to work. Kim joined us for family dinner and we celebrated with a little fruit cake. Happy birthday to our pal!
I sewed for my craft swap. I’ll have a grand reveal later in the week. Walker’s new headphones arrived and he loves them. The farmer made his first pass through the field. It is definitely Spring.
