A Girl And Her Bows

Dear daughter has been creative lately. It’s funny how we rub off on each other; DD is active, I start walking.  I start quilting, and DD starts making bows… And, since she is sooo busy, I have volunteered to photograph and list her small business efforts.  She started making bows to wear, and decided it […]

On our early morning walk, DH and I stumbled on a neighborhood garage sale.  I saw this cute box, Paw Parazzi. It’s a child’s toy, but I thought the graphics on it were so cute that I went back, and got it.  When you open it, it has a balcony, and drawers – I can […]

Sewing Pretty With Hello Kitty…

DH pointed out that when I tackle something, I tend to go all out, and then burn out.  Well, I joined a quilting group! The last time I quilted was over 23 years ago, before dear older son was born.  I made a nice new friend, Ellie, who introduced me into her quilting group.  The […]

July 2013 Garden

The weather has been unbearably hot around here, so our early morning walks have been great.  And every time I step out onto our street, I think to myself, I must photograph the beautiful white butterfly bush at the front of our grove – and I finally did.  It just amazes me what beautiful flowers […]

Old Town & Renewed Friendship

DD had an overnight orientation at UCSD, so I decided to have an overnight as well.  After dropping her off, I headed to Old Town San Diego to play tourist.  It was nice, but I realized I don’t much like sightseeing on my own.  This is my “new normal”. DH has suggested now that all […]
