Can't...breathe...<GASP> As  you have probably seen over at Corin's blog, things are a bit smoky around these parts. I took these photos down our street yesterday afternoon, but it is even worse today! There have been fires all over our state the past couple of weeks and the smoke just loves to settle into the valley. Remember all of the pictures of the beautiful green field we had? Do those of you out of state remember how jealous you were? 
We now have lovely, dead weeds, everywhere! We do keep the area up by the house green for our pleasure and for fire prevention. Aaaaah, the Golden State, I think it was named that after the color of the sky in Summer  We have been enjoying our week so far, lots of visiting with church families. We were invited over to the V's on Sunday for lunch and had a wonderful time visiting, eating, knitting and playing games. Hey Rob, I think this game was a "blood bath" too, right up there with Parcheesi Yesterday afternoon we went to another family's for the afternoon. The kids (and Mr.R) all swam the day away, my brothers were still tired when they woke up this morning, I guess part of that could have been how late we stayed We had such a great time visiting with them and their neighbors (Mrs.R's sister and her girls) that it was soon eleven! Thankfully they live nearby and we were home in ten minutes. I had anot her treat yesterday, it came in the mail. The package from Bren's giveaway arrived! When I opened the box this envelope was on top, it made my mom and I smile. My mom often calls me Dani-Girl as does an old friend of mine  
Hooooo-eeeee, am I spoiled rotten! Thanks Bren for all of the wonderful gifts, it was so much fun to open, and your hand quilting is amazing! |
