A Day at the Lake

Spent the moring fishing.

This geese family came right up to eat.

They munched on the grass and then went on their way.

They didn't mind us sitting right there!

So cute!

Dragonflies love Michael's fishing pole.

Finished our day paddling on the lake.

It was smooth as glass.

Friday = Fruit Salad

Love this HUGE bowl of delicious

fruit Sarah and I mixed up!

Happy Friday Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

We took the Metro to DC for the day.

Chris took us to the museums.

We visited the Butterfly house in the Smithsonian.

Happy Friday!

25 YEARS!

Michael and I celebrated our 25th anniversary

by going on a murder mystery dinner cruise.

We sailed around the inner harbor for 3 hours, ate dinner,

tried to figure out "who done it"

and took in all the sights along the harbor.

Great evening! You know I had to get a shot of the lighthouse! Michael with a couple of the actors. Don't mind the crazy hair, it was really windy! Balitmore harbor at dusk.

Memorial Weekend Review

Instead of going away this weekend, we did a staycation.

We paddled and biked around Maryland.

Spent a few hours paddling and fishing the Patapsco River.

We enjoyed a day at Cunningham Fall State Park

Spent the day picnicing, hiking and kayaking.

Michael and I rode our bikes along

the C&O canal for about 8 miles.

We met with old friends Larry & Kay from NY.

Met new friends Gary & Ann.

Walked around Great Falls, MDHere is short video of the falls.

Great Mail Week

This week I received a bunch of freebies.

I will never pay for a magazine again!

I have listed the main Freebie Sites on my sidbar.

If you check them once a week and fill out the forms.

Your mail box will soon be full of great products.

I set up a junk email so my regualr mailbox isn't flooded.

I have never had anyone call or sell my info to other companies.

Just make sure you read about what you are signing up for.

Quilting Day

It took me three days to make all these little squares.

They didn't come out square but I trimmed them up.

Now I can be creative in my rows.

Today I worked all day putting all the pieces together.

Ok 12 squares into 4 strips. Here is the quilt top done, except the binding.

I added all the strips and then noticed

I was off by a bit in one corner, grrrrrrrrrr.

But I was so tired I didn't want to rip it all out.

So I just tried to straighten it up. But I LOVE the colors!!

Played Outside Today

We began our day kayaking on Wild Lake.

Three Blue Herons were just beautiful to watch.

In the afternoon we decided to ride from

Lake Elkhorn to Savage Mill.

This is 4.5 mile trail. We rode along the Patuxent River. We ended our ride at the Savage Mill

Inside the Mill (mall) I found a wounderful quilt shop

Check out the links to see where we went. Now I am sitting on the couch.

I am a bit stiff.

Fun Day!
