LET'S GET AWAY

Wednesday our family left for St. George for a last minute get-a-way. We actually got John to take 3 days off to be with us. We stayed in our home away from home, the Abby Inn. It was so much fun.

We swam and swam and swam. There is one picture where all but 2 of my grandchildren are by me. I got some good shots of the kids doing tricks in the pool. Wyatt, standing on his head in the water, Hannah doing a back bend into the water and Kacie flooting on her back. I couldn't take many pictures because I was the shark going after the wee fishes.

We all went to the Play "Annie", it was amazing and of course to a stake house for dinner. The Dog Father was a lunch stop.

All my children love to hike so that was a big event. One family went to the red cliffs of St. George and the other family went to Zions Parke. Not me mind you! I went antiquing at the Main Street Antiques and Urban Renewal. Oh, and I never miss TJ Max. Come back on White Wednesday to see the shops.

We had a little birthday celebration for John, he turned 60. His cake was a BYU football and fildgoal made out of cutcakes. We wanted him to relax and just be a kid again, so his gifts, consisted of, a gazoo, a twirlybird, a straw that starts in the drink and goes up and around the ears and the eyes then the mouth, a rubber tounqe that you put in your libs and blow.

I almost forget. I got a cool picture of Owen behind his bubble.

It was a great get-a-way.

MOTHER/DAUGHTER TRADITION

Forty Four years ago, I was in the 7th grade, my mother and her 3 sisters started a tradition that would hold strong up to today. Once a year they would meet somewhere for lunch with their daughters. It grew to more daughters and daughters in laws to granddaughters, to great granddaughters. We have the best time ever. This year we met in Orem at the Carrabba Grill.

Oh -- I had to sneek a picture of Kacie Joe and Mia modeling their new girly dress and skirt.

TWO WING BACK CHAIRS

Ever since we moved into this house I just haven't found a good spot for these two wing chairs. I'd like to sale them for $135,00 each. They have hardly been sat in. They are of medium built, a cream on cream nylon material with mahogany feet.

WHAT'S FOR DINNER

What a fun evening. My son and his family came to dinner the other evening. I don't get to see my youngest grand baby(no.8)very often - he's 7 month's old now.

I fryed up some new potatoes, cook some new corn on the cob, and fryed fresh ground beef patties. (Lots of fat - yummy) Hillary brought a crock pot full of barbequed pork, along with home-made rolls, and she dipped and fryed new green tomatoes. Yum Yum! Then we didn't have room for a new seedless watermelon.

CRYSTAL BOOKMARKS

I have taken up a new hobby this summer. Beading! What can I say, it's now a habit! These are a few of the ones I've made. I have an etsy account and I think I'm going to sale them. I will be posting a few other things I've made to go on etsy. I love to do all this stuff so I might as well play on etsy.

WHITE WEDNESDAY

I love this idea of White Wednesday. It's great to have a special purpose to get together with people you admire. And that I do! All of your bloggspots are amazing to look at and to hear about your days and the things that you think about simple feels me with content. The comments are icing on the cake, they are like christmas to me.

This being my first White Wednesday, I've decided to just do a simple walk through of one of the peaceful days in my life, most days aren't peaceful. But some are!!!

The beginning of the day would be trying to get out of my white cotton egyption sheets and pillow cases.

After I finally do, I like to put a load of laundry in. I love my washer and dryer being right across the hall from my bedroom.

Then I enjoy a simple breakfast of toast and eggs. I really don't eat that many.

Then I walk around the house and make sure the blinds are all closed. Mr Stitches-n-stuff tells me, "Cindy, be sure and keep the blinds down, it will keep the house cooler". Cooler I say, It's 72 degrees in here, I'm in the basement which is 5 degrees cooler, I have a fan going full speed ahead, a glass of ice water and I'm still sweating.

I take my hand phone and head down stairs. On a great day, I can stay busy down here for 4 good hours, and the phone doesn't ring. I do have to repeatedly get more ice water.
