Another beautiful day in the neighborhood...

even though I had a dental appointment this morning. She has been my dentist since 1995 is originally from Venezuela and her staff are from Cambodia.  I love them all.
We have had bad luck this summer with patio umbrellas. The first one was too big and the thing wouldn't wind down after a month. The second one was red and I liked it but one of the ribs broke so we had to return it. Today I bought a 6 ft.model for $10.00 it is red too and just right. It will probably last 10 years. LOL.
I received my box yesterday from my Secret Pal at the Board. Her name is Sarah and she really outdid herself.  Thanks Sarah.

She lives in Michigan and got the honey locally.

I also finished block 34 of the BOW CW blog of Barbara Brackman's. It is called Rosebud and I enjoyed making it. I hadn't trimmed around the outside before I took the photo so it looks kind of crooked but it turned out exactly 8 1/2 ".

School started today in our area. I remember those days well. I had to walk to school most of the time. In 7th & 8th grade we rode to another area  on the school bus. I loved those years especially.
Hope you have a great evening

Another beautiful day in the neighborhood....

even though I had a dental appointment. It was just a check up and cleaning but I am always glad to get it done. I have had the same dentist since 1995 she is from Venezuela originally and her staff are from Cambodia. I love them all.
We have not had a lot of luck this summer with patio umbrellas; bought our third one today for $10.00. It is red and only siz foot across but that is fine with me. The first one we bought was too big and it wouldn't crank down after a month so returned it. Then the second one was a good size but one of the spokes broke so returned it too. Today I got a cheap one and it will probably last ten years. LOL
I received my Secret Santa box yesterday and it was great. Filled completely to the top. Her name is Sarah and she lives near Flint, MI.

I couldn't believe it when I saw all she sent. Thanks Sarah.
I also finished the 34th block for the CW BOW at Barbara Brackman's. I liked making this one too.

I hadn't trimmed the edges when I took the photo. Have a great rest of the week.
