Sharks and a shoe thief

 Jen, Andy, Adam and Courtney are safely in Hawaii they had an adventure yesterday in a shark cage. 


Probably not something I would do but Jen said it was not scary at all.

Back at home. Someone is stealing my Crocs so I cannot leave.


She loves us so she is not too lonely. Noah was over to check on the elderly and have some pool time with his dogs and Sadie. Then after supper Far Guy threw her pool ring a few times until she dropped it on the other side of the pool and would not retrieve it…I think she had enough of the pool for the day.

I had more pain yesterday so I had a long rest and then a nice nap. I might have walked too much the previous day. Far Guy woodcarved.

Yarn

 Jen escorted me to Michaels the other day…as if I didn’t bring enough yarn with me.  She dropped me off at the front door, I grabbed a cart and wheeled myself through the store.  I had not been in a store since June 5th. 

I needed grey yarn for fake wasp nests. Jen and Maddie both need the fake nests. I have two done and a third almost done.


The pretty yarn will be my reward after I finish the wasp nests. The grey fake nests will be treated with outdoor decoupage after they are dry they will be hung up and discourage wasps from making a nest in the area and they will move onto another area.  I do not have a pattern, I just make it up as I go…it does not need to be perfect. 

It was a very nice day on Saturday, Far Guy woodcarved and I crocheted out on the back patio.  In the afternoon Grandson Noah came to check on the elderly and swam in the pool with Sadie. 

I am feeling a bit stronger every day. I still need help in the shower and picking things up off the floor.

Lilac

 The Japanese Tree Lilac is blooming at the house next door it is a beauty!


I wonder if mine is blooming at home. Some years it blooms and some years it does not.

I had a busy day Friday entertaining Baby K who her Mom calls Bean, and showing Maddie how to make potato salad. 

Far Guy did some woodcarving.  This years Christmas Ornament has been decided.

Relaxed

 Sadie is more relaxed than the rest of us.

This is the morning after a day at doggie day care and an evening in the pool with an eight year old boy throwing her pool toy for her.

She wagged her tail at us and otherwise did not move. By afternoon she was caught up on all her naps/relaxing. 

She is something else! We love her very much!

Oh baby

 Our newest Great grandchild Baby K visits us often. She gained a pound and one ounce in the week after her tongue tied release procedure. She weighs 8 lbs and 3 ounces now..she will be a month old in a few days. She is just a little peanut.

However she has a big voice and has what I call a short fuse. When she is hungry she wants her bottle now if not sooner.


She did not want to burp! She is not an easy kid to burp. 

Less upset but still needed to burp!
Oh did she smell good after her bath…we could hear her screaming through out her bath…then she slept.

Fun to be a part of her first month.
