Wordless Wednesday~June 20th

Wordless Wednesday...

Well, we all know I can't be "wordless"...so I'll keep it short.

Bean Stalk Flower....so exotic looking and beautiful ;)

Today was a GREAT day! Tuesday, June 19th

Tuesday, June 19th

This morning after taking Kyle to Basketball camp, I went out and picked some things from my Uncle's garden.

I picked these CRAZY green beans in the hopes of them drying out so I can plant the seeds in the fall. 

I found a few that had already dried out on the vine! :) 

And I picked all of this as well. I certainly can't eat it all but it would've rotted for sure had I not picked it.

The peppers reminded me of this fabric that I chose for making a quilt for the orphanage in Mexico. (The Quilted Hugs Project)

I saw this lil guy in the front yard :) Made me smile.

 I met up with Ronnie for lunch!

 We ate at Chik fil A and then he had to go back to working.

"bye, Ronnie!"

 I did manage to get a bit of sewing done today...I pulled out this top and decided to work on the backing.

 I sewed 8 fat quarters together and have that strip on the left to work with as well. I need to find some fabric to make up the difference....it isn't much, so I am sure I have something in my stash, even if it's just muslin.

 After picking Kyle up from basketball camp, we went to visit Ahma in her new home.

she couldn't believe how tall Kyle has gotten! :)

 We had a long visit with her, laughing and chitty chatting for an hour!
When we left, we skipped over a few blocks to visit with Becca, Austin, Emily & Madi!

<3 my nieces to pieces!!

Madi thought Kyle was hilarious and Kyle ATE IT UP! lol.

 Madi had me cracking up the whole time :) I could just sit and watch her ALL day long!

 Emily was a happy girl and had on a shirt that I must agree with... it says "My Mom ROCKS" :o)


once Uncle Austin got home, it was video game time ;) Kyle LOVES to play games with his Uncle Austin and ran outside when Austin got home to ask him if they could play :) And as you can see...Madi had he "weewii" controller (hee hee)

It was a great day! I got to see several of my favorite people! :) I am blessed!

Teaser Tuesday~June 19th

 

Here's how it works!
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

"Final stop, Billings, Montana!" he called, then continued walking down the aisle.

April couldn't wait to disembark and stretch her legs. She was much more comfortable on horseback and preferred that way to travel. "Excuse me," she said to the gentleman blocking the aisle. He was bent over trying to collect his paperwork in the seat across from her. "This is where I must get off."

"Well, miss, it's the last run of the evening"-he straightened to give her a level stare-"so there's no hurry."

"I beg your pardon." April gazed back at  the dark-haired man whose eyes twinkled with mischief in his affable face.

This & That.....Monday, June 18th

I am at my Uncle's house this week and so enjoying a bit of a respite from the daily grind at home ;)


Today was Kyle's first day of Basketball Camp!


He was really excited about it!

While he was away, I enjoyed a bit of sewing.....

And reading.....



And I even went outside to enjoy the weather and admire my Uncle'shmorgisboard of a garden:

LOOK at the CRAZY beans!

WOWZERS!

This is where they are growing

 This is the "mess" that is his tomato plants...

Yet...there is a bounty there!

And peppers galore

all types!

And this is what I saw when I came back in ;) Missy

After I picked Kyle up from Basketball camp, we went to the pool for a while :)

And now we are back at the house....Kyle's watching TV and I am about to go work on my embroidery ;)

It's been a very nice day!

Econ & Redneck Olympics

Yep...I said it...REDNECK Olympics ;)

Saturday Kyle and I met up with old family & friends ALL DAY LONG!

We started the afternoon off by meeting Sam & Cherri at  the Econ. Kyle played with Isaac and Dixie...ok and Sam too :) They had fun and it was nice to be able to catch up with old friends.

Cherri and I sat on the bank and chitty chatted ;)

Then Kyle and I headed out to The Jolly Gator (formerly Lindsey's Fish Camp). My aunt runs the fish camp now and held an event for Diabetes. Beth and Morgan even drove out from Leesburg to enjoy the events. Logan and Kyle had a blast!

 Next was the "worm" eating contest....a hot dog, sliced into 6 pieces vertically then cooked in a crock pot so it curls up!!
