Hi everyone,
Just a few comments from me…
Yes, Sissy, we sometimes stand over our sink and look out the kitchen window while our sandwiches drip. Actually, we stand over the sink when we are nibbling on watermelon, or an egg sandwich that is a bit drippy! I’ve never heard them called “Sink Sandwiches” though. I’ll have to tell my hubby that one… :o)
I know what everyone means about the tomatoes being tasteless or pale pink on the inside or even HARD! That’s about all you can find at the stores here in town. There is a little store in town called Fresh Foods and my hubby was buying tomatoes from them before his started ripening. My hubby LOVES LOVES LOVES tomatoes and it’s been a bit hard for him to “cut back” on his portions since this kidney issue. He would slice a whole plate of them and eat them all himself. He LOVES it when he slices into one of HIS and it’s solid red with lots of “meat” inside.
Marilyn, Thank you for that History Lesson… I remembered the Declaration of Independence wasn’t TOTALLY finished on July 4th, but I had forgotten when it was signed by. I think we should celebrate again on August 2nd by having another Red White and Blue dress for someone and give that little history lesson with the listing! (I better start working on something RIGHT AWAY and hope nothing gets in my way!) :o)
Thanks for all the thumbs up on the Pinner Cap for Felicity! I told her everyone loved it and she smiled! Really, she did! Unfortunately, I never made it to my sewing room. My hubby had a follow up doctor’s appointment this morning, then I wanted to watch the Colombia vs. Switzerland World Cup Soccer game because we were chatting with Alba and Edgar in Bogata about it. She said she was biting her nails! It was too bad that even playing the 90 minutes, then the 30 minutes overtime and there was still no winner. So, they did the Penalty Shoot Out and they lost 4 to 3. I know Alba and Edgar were sad! (I wasn’t a total slug… I got up during commercials and half time and did some housework. We are having company on Thursday!)
Then we had some company stop by in the evening and visited for a while. I never made it into my sewing room to get started on a new petticoat/slip. MAYBE tomorrow?
Oh and something else. Joy sent me a picture of her Ruby Red Jolli Kids, Uma and Benjamin. I commented on them when she sent them to me but forgot to post them so YOU could see. They are VERY cute and I think they were a great price too. ($47?)
…and just one more tidbit… I saw this on a post Sissy had made on facebook just a day or two ago. It was SO cute, I just HAVE to show it… (Well, I’ve looked for it Sissy, and can’t find it.) It was a 4th of July picture with Mae sitting down in a blue dress with “I think white stars” I think and was just so adorable. Someone commented on it and Sissy said, something like “I’m not making them anymore.” Sissy, If you know the picture I am talking about and can send it to me, I’ll show it.
Okay, so let’s get started on the pictures and email Elizabeth sent me. (Elizabeth’s pictures came to me in a smaller size than the 700 pixels I usually post them at, but if you click on them, they will enlarge a little bit.)
Hi Jeanne…I’m sending my 4th of July photos of pool fun, and the paintings and 2 cards I managed to complete.
The Sunflower went to my Great Granddaughter, and the baby portrait is for another Great Granddaughter …her baby daughter Chloe.
The napping, bulldog puppy is for my Son-in-law who is a big fan of Georgia University. For many Birthdays I painted the Georgia Bulldog mascot in different poses or wearing a Georgia tee-shirt…and this year it’s the bulldog puppy in “The early years…”!
I am out of wrapping paper so made sewn cloth gift bags with French seams and a ribbon tie…I figured the cloth bags would also make shoe tote bags when traveling!
(Hope the photos go thru…I checked off on the ones I wanted to send and they are “grouped” together)
Elizabeth in Texas
Thank you, Elizabeth, you have certainly given us plenty to look at and oooohhhh and ahhhh over! You are SO VERY talented and I about croaked when you said you made the cloth bags to put the presents in! I thought “I” was thrifty, but you beat all!!! :o)
See everyone tomorrow,
Blessings, Jeanne
