Birthday Quilt from Betty Gram

I am so pleased with a beautiful quilt picked from Brylan Home...though it is a China made quilt. At this time I don't have time or space to finish a large queen size quilt for my bed. This one will be just dandy and it was on-sale significantly!

Camera Shy

My trusty little digital camera has taken a turn for the worse, meaning that it will come on but it won't register to snap a photograph. I am heart sick over this fact and am trying to rectify the situation as soon as I can. Does anyone know how it could possibly be repaired?

Bi-plane Flyin

June 5th and 6th were the last days that the small local airport hosted the annual bi-plane expo. Mum and I couldn't resist going any longer. So we ventured out to the airport and we thought we would park and watch the small planes take off. However, we became entranced in the event...which was bigger and better than any exhibition in past years (various people informed us), that we eventually walked across the air field to buy our tickets and to view the 450+ planes on display.

Some weren't bi-planes, but they sure were cute.


Rows and rows of the cutest planes from all over America, which were flown by kind older men with a passion for bi-plane aviation.

Me, giddy with delight at the beautiful aircraft and the Big Band music airing on the field.

We happened upon Glory and her sweet family who were enjoying the festivities of the day.

Joshua and David Time

Little acquaintances of mine along with their mother, bestowed upon me this lovely bouquet. It was such a surprise and joy to receive. Yesterday Joshua and David (who also likes to be called "Daddy"), their mother Glory and baby Shannon and I gardened in their backyard. Little Shannon felt exhausted and soon fell asleep in her walker on the patio. The boys worked diligently with shovels. After several hours we cleared a 3' x 12' approximate area of Bermuda grass, dug five holes and now happy pepper and tomato plants reside in the backyard at Joshua and David Daddy's home.

Springs to Life

After the ice/snow and very cold winter that we incurred, Betty Gram and I are pleased to see these blooming in profusion. Sweet little carnations planted in a pot set a top her tricycle stand in the front flower bed is a quaint greeting to guests. Cheerful coral azaleas bloom in profusion. Lovely spring!

Gardening at Betty Gram and Fredpa's

After a record breaking amount of successive days of rain...we have sunshine again today and Betty Gram and I have squeezed every possible hour into her garden. Things are really shaping up and as soon as I can I will share photos of the latest plantings.
