Trying to stay cool!

Boy the weather has been hot. I think it's hit 100 over the last few days. I so appreciate my air conditioned house. Fortunately Oregon doesn't get that often. I feel for those people in the southeast part of the United States who are so hot and not just for a few days.

I finished the pillow to be donated to the Give a Little Foundation for their auction. Doing the stitching is fun. It's hard to say "whoa" when you're on a roll and can add just a few more colonial knots here or lazy daisy stitches there. It's fun, creative, relaxing and I love the way they turn out. I'd love to make a whole quilt someday.

I spent a few days last week in the Seattle area visiting my son and family. Love the grandson time. Nathan is 11 and Aidan 9. They are fun to hang out with and listen to. They're at a busy age. Nathan broke his arm being hit by a pitch earlier in the summer so that gained a little time with him  not playing baseball and taking golf lessons.

Yesterday was a reunion in McMinnville, Oregon of people who used to live in Ketchikan, Alaska. It was a first attempt so there were 13 of us. Fun time visiting there then 9 came to our house for hamburgers. It's fun talking about old times, people we knew and  how much we loved Alaska. A part of our life we so treasure.

The best to you all. Enjoy what's left of the summer and stay cool!
