My son is here for a few days. He passed his last class. He was very happy. And so were we. I am still amazed that he stuck it out and can now graduate. We talked about many things this evening. I made crabcakes. On my way home from the ophthalmologist this morning, I stopped at a stand and got corn on the cob. Yesterday, I made raisin walnut spice cake and Doug bought chocolate ice cream. We had a nice little party. I’ll probably be sick tomorrow, but it was worth it.
ducklingsI took this early this morning. It reminds me of one of those carnival games.sleepy Gus
Notice his nose in Doug’s shoe. That is so gross.
Then I ironed them flat.
And stared slicing them for four patches.
You know what? I need to make about two miles of strips. One mile wasn’t enough!
Can you see the goose sitting on her eggs. I forget my extra lens when I walked around the bulkhead. Maybe I’ll get a better picture next week if I remember the lens.
Elvis has his own chair.
Where’s Zippo, you say? He had work to do.
Somebody has got to watch the printer.
Gus likes to scare the geese. They are guarding the island so they are always around now.
Ellen sent me her picture in the hat she made with my pattern. Looking good!
He was so bad yesterday that even Elvis hollered at him. And Elvis is the coolest cat in the world and don’t let Zip tell you otherwise.
Yeah. It’s that kind of a day.
One mitten is done. I may finish the top differently. I ‘ll decide when I get to the top of the other one. I’ve got most of the ribbing done on the second one. I should have the baby blanket finished in a few days. The top is mostly quilted.
I had lots of cat help. After he finished cleaning himself, he gave Gus a bath.
Gus tried to clean Zip in return.
Can you see the ducks on the other side in the water?
Maude was SOOO bored!
Gus says, “Hi”.
Maude still prefers to nap under the tree. Yes, my tree is still up. The only bad thing was that since it is supposed to get cold and rainy, Doug took down the lights on the deck. He also climbed on the roof and got leaves off. I, however was in embroidery mode. I made this for the back of the table runner.
Then, I decided to make a few more.
Doug used to call Jenn Big Foot.
I just liked the goose. I also found a Maine Coon cat that I hope to make tomorrow. I have to change the colors to look more like Jenn’s.
