Labor Day Fun

This Labor Day the Twins learned how to wake board and water ski
on the Aransas River thanks to a family friend allowing Daddy and
Grandpa to borrow his boat.

Here are some cool pictures of the day...

...and watching...

Punkin Water Ski!! This was her first time ever and she got up and skiied
over and over! The kids had such a great time that everyone is hoping
to go again next weekend. Since it has been raining all week here, that
probably won't happen but I know they won't soon forget their first
Labor Day Water Ski trip!

If I won the Lottery...

the first thing I would purchase would be a large version of this.
There is absolutely no way we could afford even the small size
but if I'm going to dream I'm going to dream big!

I think Amy Butler has outdone herself with her new line of
designer hand-tufted wool rugs and I enjoyed looking through
the gallery of styles but, unfortunately, I'll never get to see one
on my living room floor unless we win the lottery. At least I can
enjoy 'window shopping'!

I wish it was winter...

just so I could wear this!! With temperatures in the 99-105 F range
this weekend you would think I would be steering clear of anything
warm but I absolutely adore these scarves and wraps at
The Felted Garden. Click on the name to check out the website.

Enjoy!

Do you think I've held on to these too long?

While going through my enormous stash of stuff trying to get ready to
put most of it up for sale I came across these packages of American
Traditional Designs Rub-ons.


I was shocked to see that 2 of the 6 packages I have had started to fade.
The colors looked like they were running. I know I have had these for a
while (commitment issues, I'm afraid) but I really never expected them
to fade in the unopened package.


Now, I'm not sure whether to use the ones that haven't changed or not.
I really love these brown and pink and aqua paisleys but I don't want to
put them on a project only to have them fade.


Has anyone else had these rub-ons do this? What did you do with them?
Did you use the rest of the package and just keep your fingers crossed?
I'm trying to decide whether to just toss them all out or use up the good
rub-ons. Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

More soon!

Puppy Love

Welcome Puppy-Boy!


Now, it's 4 Humans & 3 Animals in our house. Whimsy & GiGi are accepting
our new family member pretty well so far. As you can see, he doesn't
stand still for very long. Doesn't make for very sharp pictures but I'm
working on it!More photos and stories to come.

Happy 4th of July America!!!

We did something a little different this year and drove across the
Harbor Bridge to watch the local fireworks show from downtown.
Unfortunately, the city decided to base the show off of the Aircraft
Carrier that was actually closer to home than the Bayfront was. We
didn't get to see much of the fireworks show but here are some
photos of what I was able to catch. What we could see was pretty
and it was fun to make the trip and spend the waiting reading our
books together...



Gorgeous, wasn't it? I hope you and your family enjoyed a wonderful
day celebrating our Independence and Freedom.

Happy 4th of July America!!!
