12 - Eagle Harbor


Thea and went to the Keweenaw after taking jones to his camp.  I would have liked to take him to the harbor too but it didn’t work out.  But Thea and I had a great trip we met several new friends and enjoyed the beach, rocks, weather, wilderness, ice cream, cabin, lake etc. 


 
















Quilt for Rowie


I finished this in Jan.  Used a bunch of stash fabric. And did a random half square triangle pattern.  I love these charley Harper prints.

31 - birthday party jones


For Jones birthday we had a party with like 15 friends.  I called it my last mom party because I planned nothing and we literally just had friends over for sports, pizza and cake.  I think it was probably our last big party and next year we will just resume doing something fun with a few friends.  

11 - Jones to camp


Jones my is off to camp.  He’s loving it.  They take so many pictures it’s great to see him having this experience.  He learned to water ski and he’s doing lots of sporty things. Also the camp is on a gorgeous lake in Wisconsin.

13 - Hockey School


Sent to hockey school.  This is a high point of summer.  This year his sister is missing him so much she continually asks to go see him or drive by his dorm.  But I am trying to keep her entertained while also giving him space.

19 - Native Plants


We planted 8 flats of native plants.  I didn’t take many pictures.  But goal accomplished.

39 - Visit Old Friend

I am sad to say it had been like 5 years since I had seen my girl Amy.  But I was overjoyed when she shared she could meet us at the Dairy Farm with her daughter.  We didn’t have near enough time to catch up but still time is time.
