Good evening sisters. I am glad you responded to my email and hope we can post to this occasionally. Lizzie, I didn't realize that was the date you got married. Guess you don't celebrate that anymore. 🙄
My friend Sandy's husband died 2 days before Mom. Time passes so quickly the older I get. It doesn't seem like it was that long ago. So many things remind me of Mom and I miss her.
Not much going on here in NC except excessive heat and now some rain. Hoping the Hurricanes steer clear of the Carolinas. Whenever they start talking about a tropical wave out in the ocean my ears prick up. Hopefully they will miss us for awhile since we had such a big one last September.
Monday I went to Surf City to see some friends I get together with each year I met years ago at a women's retreat. They are from mostly the Raleigh area. One woman lives in Massachusetts now, but comes every summer. It was fun seeing everyone. I could only stay for the one day this year since I had our Summer Quilt Retreat Friday and Saturday. Two other ladies and I organize it every year and it just happened to be the same week as the get together was planned.
We are going to Denver next month to see Troy and Carol. I am looking forward to meeting Carol's daughter and granddaughters. We are driving instead of flying. Couldn't convince Earl to fly. That's alright. We always have a good time when we travel by car. Hate leaving the dogs so long at the kennel.
Going to bed a little early so I can get up early to go to the gym in the morning. I have been slacking off lately. Before I know it I will quit altogether and become a bag of sagging flesh with no tone at all. Wait, I am a bag of sagging flesh. 😩

Hello Sisters! That was a nice newsy post you left us, Lori.
ReplyDeleteWhat are 'they' saying about hurricane season? Hope it's uneventful this year.
One of you had mentioned invited our other kin folk. What is the consensus? Shall we? Who shall we include? Anything we've said in the past that might be not for sharing? I'm open to anything.
We are waiting on the condo assn to approve our plans for work we want to do outside. We are an end unit so I can have a pretty nice size garden. We are also going to install a small circular paver patio out behind our screened porch.
Susie and I had lunch with Kelly on Thursday. She is such a sweet girl and (so is Susie)! Ha! Wish we could ALL get together soon.
I met up with Sarah and the boys on Saturday in Mount Vernon at a park. They were presenting the 911 traveling memorial and the Tunnel to Towers run where many local fire departments participated by climbing this huge tower wearing full gear in memory of the NYFD first responders. It was quite touching to see everything and to think about this terrible time in our history. What were each of you doing on that awful day?
I had a goal to start my Christmas crafts, sewing, gifts etc on August 1. I missed that date! Now it's September 1 that I will MOST DEFINITELY begin to make things and get my act together. I have something special in mind for both of you. Of course, I almost always do but my plans never go the way I intend them to!
It's cold here today but I'm not complaining. 63 degrees feels so heavenly!
Ok my sweet sisters. That's my contribution for today.
PS... Question of the day from Lizzie. What important and unusual thing would you like to accomplish before your next birthday?
