Side trip to Vermont

Sunday we decided it was time to "get out of Dodge" & were planning to head north but it was raining & that was the direction the weather was heading.

So we headed east toward Vermont. This is a crazy tourist trap on the way there.

We ended up here....get it? Molly Stark!

It was the most beautiful state park for camping that had the cleanest rest rooms & showers I have ever seen.

It had several hiking trails but we picked this one. Why? Firetower!

It started off very easy but....

.....we were soon climbing.

I wanted this rock.

It was rather large.

Of course when we got to the firetower Popster elected to stay with Molly

His excuse....I was the one with the camera!

He really is a "chicken"!

Very disappointing views because of the clouds!

I wonder who lived here?

I did "collect" a few smaller rocks on the way down for my new piece of driftwood.

I wanted to walk around Wilmington on the way home.....it is such a quaint little town with lots of art & craft shops. By the time we got back to the car it was raining so we ended up just driving home. Love

Today we have a riddle???

What do you get when you cross a pile of scraps, a sewing machine, a woman possessed, & a husband on a week long golf trip? The following......... This is a tablecloth for my kitchen table....forgot to take the finished pic Cover for my sewing machine...very proud of this as I quilted the whole thing. This is the back....got tired of doing squares! Matching cover for my serger. I meant to post these a while ago & must have forgot. I have done a couple other projects since then which I will get around to posting soon. Had computer problems so I have some catching up to do Love

C of O ....Sun Room...Day Twenty Three-Twenty Five

This came in the mail today which made me realize I never posted the last couple days updates. They really all rolled into one as Jim ended up leaving at noon on Weds...it started to snow & didn't work at all on Thurs. Friday he finished things up by lunch time but had to spend the afternoon emptying my garage of all his tools. We had our inspection on Monday which wasn't a problem. It has been so sunny this week so far so it is so nice to sit in there & enjoy the view! Yes Molly hangs out in her a lot.....I have nose prints to prove she looks out of all the windows!

Sewing, weaving & emptying the waterbed

Monday morning began bright & early as we needed to finish emptying our bedroom. Mark was dropping LiLi off before 8:00am as she does not have school this week. We needed to drain the waterbed before we could take it apart. As usual we were having no luck getting the water to siphon out & even resorted to having LiLi (all 35lbs of her) sitting on it with us!! It probably took over an hour & who knows how many tries before it worked. Got the mattress out & discovered the decking was falling apart.....good thing we decided to do this project,,,,I was able to find a local place so we can just replace it & to be safe I also got a new safety liner & heater. I don't want to be doing this again for a while! While Popster worked on replacing the baseboard & window trim in those two rooms LiLi & I started working on this doll kit she had gotten for her birthday. All the pieces needed to be sewn togeth...

Life from where we are
