Busy Weekend




I saw a beautiful butterfly today and reminded me of the butterfly pics I took at Gulf Shores/Foley, Alabama last fall. I wish I had planted a butterfly bush this year! Maybe I still will. Nature is amazing, for sure.

Well, we decided to have a short "Barn Sale" this last Saturday. Worked all day Friday on sorting out the big stuff to sell. We need room in the barn to get ready for the July 7th Barn Sale we are going to have but had to rid ourselves of some of the "ugly" stuff we have been saving for 43 years. Lynn and I have moved many, many times but we can't seem to shed the "stuff" habit. I am the worst! We really did great! Planned to call in and advertise on the trade radio show here in town on Friday night and Sat. morning but guess what---they didn't have the show because of a Rodeo or something like that so our signs just had to grab them. Our neighbor, Kandie brought over some goodies and while we were setting up on Friday, she sold a bunch. What a great way to have a sale, just open up the barn door and drag out the stuff. We started at 7 and ended at 11----great hours. Then it was off to Dallas for our granddaughter's dance recital. Yes, I will brag on her---Sydney CAN Dance! Boy, she is growing up so fast ---turning 11 this month. Time is flying for Lynn and me.



Lynn is off to Dallas to work for three days and when he comes home, we will be leaving for San Antonio to see Clint, Melody and Tess. Then on the Corpus Christi for three days of school for him and relaxing and picture taking for me.

Omni Hotel on the water so might be a good place to shoot some fun pictures.



Working on some fabric cushions for the porch and curtains for the laundry and back hall. Been awhile since I have been at the sewing machine and I really love it and want to get back to making things and miniature quilting.




Also, working on the web pages I have neglected for so long. Little by little, our lives are coming into shape. It is such fun to work on our class site as it brings back so many memories. It all take a good deal of time. Really seems as if there is always something to do here are our home. Our Cosmos are blooming.
