on the road

 We are in Minnesota camping...

I always start craving a bowl of wild rice soup when we get here.

Camp Grandma

At CampGrandma the last three days there were 

sewing lessons for sleep shorts,

 arts and crafts for penguin rice packs,

 baking buns and rolls

and lots of swimming.

I wish I could have sent them home with camp badges 

because they did everything really well.

can it

This post is for my sister Lisa...

the prairie preservationist.

 Peaches and peach preserves...

I can't wait for winter with these on my basement shelves.

water

 It was all about the water for our oldest granddaughters this weekend.

We started at the lake and ended at the pool.

paint

We bought an artist table and put it our living room's front window

for Mr. b to do his paint by number pictures.

Previously he was stuck in a small bedroom off by himself.

This is a much better place for him to paint.

I'm happy that he has hobbies and that now I can enjoy his pictures in progress.

winner

Mr. b says my pies are blue ribbon winners.

Guess that means I'm a keeper and I will keep on making pies.

I finished this dolly sweater last night.

It was so much fun to knit 

that I have another one on my knitting needles today.

I hope I don't get pie on it.

Black Lives Matter

It is FINALLY peach season and I was lucky enough to get the last crate of them 

in our grocery store last week. I haven't had a crate of peaches for two years!

We have been enjoying them like there is no tomorrow.

I don't know what to do with this last bowl of them...

I would like to oil paint them on a canvass before I put them in a pie.

But that would take me too long. So oh darn...it's pie!

I also made this doll last week.

All this talk of Black Lives Matter inspired me I guess.

She will happily join all my other handmade dolls on a shelf in the hallway.
