July Rain...Summertime



Good morning, Friends... I keep apologizing for being late, don't I ...lol...well, quilting is my only excuse.  I finished up on our grandsons' quilts...got them labeled...packed up and mailed them off to their Arkansas destination!  I've already had a response from Tylar...as you can see his in the photo below...Will had just now moved and so I had to mail his quilt to Tylar's house, as well.  Will hasn't made it to Ty and Sara's yet to get his...



William's quilt...






I packaged them up in the same box then we took them to UPS for shipping.  They arrived safe and sound. 


Tylar and his funny self...we love him...They just moved into their new house...that's why it looks "undone".





Sloane and her cousin...on the Fourth.




Lottie enjoying a cookie from Gamma...lol



Sloane (far right) and cousins enjoying the holiday.











I buy bananas, cut them up...lay out on parchment paper then freeze for smoothies.  Then I throw the skins out into my flower garden.  Makes great fertilizer.


I made a peach cobbler...but the dough turned out "cakey"...and we weren't impressed with the recipe.


After church, lunch was taken at a new Chinese restaurant...China Star.  Larry enjoyed himself...lol...it was really good.



My plate of shrimp and chicken...very good.



I made pork with gravy and green beans...


I cheated and made cinnamon rolls courtesy of Pillsbury....




Another after church lunch 2 weeks ago...before the restaurant salad and cold stuff contamination thing popped up on my radar.  Bactrim seems to stop the nasty infection you might get...explosive loose bowels for a week or as long as a month!  No more restaurant salads for me!  Not until this infection is stopped!




It was cooler than usual one morning because of the rains... and I whipped up toast and rice cereal.  Hit the spot!



SO TRUE!

Well guys...guess that's about all from me...I've got a new quilt done and at the longarmer's for my granddaughter, Samantha...  called, The Chicken Coop.
Now I'm working on a quilt for my son in love, Tim... a bull rider theme... it's puzzling me.
SO... hope you all stay safe out there...and have a great weekend!
hugs
Donna
