Grandchildren and barbeque

Ben brought the boys over Saturday morning. Bruce went to graduation and we went to Riverside park. We followed the boys around and then threw rocks in the river. Lindsy went to her brother's graduation.
In the evening Ben brought the boys back over and we had a barbecue. I couldn't resist the salmon, the first river catch and we had that and some beef kabobs, chips, a tiny watermelon, carrots and cucumbers and the boys wanted Popsicles for dessert. Lindsy went to to the Union graduation, they had a presentation for her father as he was their adviser. The boys are small and do not sit for long periods of time very well, kinda like me... We changed the tire on Crystal's car as it had gone flat and we moved a bookcase into the house so I could change a different one out.

Mother's night in

Bruce and Andrew went to the father/son camp out. They are going to stain the lodge for a service project.
I invited some "girls" over and we watched Bedtime Stories. Ernie brought KFC chicken, chocolate, and Italian Biscotti. Carol made homemade sesame seed crackers (yummy) and Ann brought popcorn.The ladies were all ccold so I got fleece blankets out and I think it was better. It was such a nice day, I had the windows open airing the house out. We talked for an hour and then watched the movie. We laughed out loud.

SUU Ballroom Dance Company

Last Thursday night we watched the SUU Ballroom Dance company perform. I saw them in the morning at Greenwood School. I graduated from SUU back when it was SUSC. I sewed the Elvis costume for them that morning.
They performed to songs we knew. They did the hustle to "Shake Your Grove Thing" from the Goofy movie. They wore white pants and vests with a black shirt. Also performed was the ever familiar "Singing in the Rain" as a Foxtrot with umbrellas and yellow raincoats and the dresses looked like rain under the raincoats. They did the cha cha to "Die another Day" with that 007 man, with red light and silhouettes. A fun song they did was a fifties swing dance to "Swinging at the Savoy" from "The Other Side of Heaven". Andrew liked the nerds doing "I'm Too Sexy for Your Shirt", a line dancing type of dance where they knocked each other down. They did a waltz to "Moon River" and a Viennese Waltz to the "Harry Potter Waltz", they looked like they were floating. I loved the Paso Doble from "Zorro". I want some red/black dresses like the ones they used with a white ruffle shirt for Bruce. It was an invigorating night!

Andrew on the Soccer Field




Andrew plays for a select soccer team and these images are from his last game this spring. He usually plays center defense, but in this game he got to move forward because they were winning.

Wall hangings




These are three wall hangings I have finished. I'm going to email the Friend and see if they want to use them for background photos in some of their issues. The red one is a Sudoku game and the number eight has watch faces on it set at number 8.
hmmm You are my sun, my moon, my starlit sky! I dwell in darkness without you!
