Homecoming Parade

This week has been Homecoming Week at San Juan High.  Todays' event was the Homecoming Parade.  It makes me laugh and at the same time, it is one of the reasons I enjoy living in Blanding so much!
Parades are big business here in Blanding. I had to laugh because both the Blanding City police and Utah Highway Patrol were at each intersection of the parade route, blocking traffic and making sure people were not driving along the parade route.  People coming through town had to make a ‘detour’!

Custom Quilts

This summer I have made two custom quilts.  The first was for Felicia in New Hampshire.  She was born on the 4th of July and loves anything Americana…

The second quilt was for Hanan in California.  She dropped by Farmers Market in the early summer, saw some of my quilt tops and wanted me to make a quilt for her.  Her quilt included a pillow tuck.  This was my first Lone Star and honestly, I think it is one of the easiest quilts to make!

My Hard Working Husband

Mike has spent DAYS, probably 8-10 so far, and probably 5-6 hours at a time, digging up this soil by hand so that we can plant grass on the east side of the house.  We have patches of grass, that have grown intermittently when we planted the last two years.  The saying states, “Third Time is the Charm?”  We are hoping so!

Don’t you love the hat?  We bought it last week while we were on vacation.  I wish we would have bought me a hat too!

If you’d like to pray for our grass to grow.  We’d both appreciate it!
