Catching up

Friday was a lovely day, so we decided to go to the local base ball diamond to watch the inter county game, which was the last one before the finals.   It was nice to just sit and watch the game for a couple of hours or so.  Unfortunately, our "Majors" lost 2- 0, but they are still in the finals.  Glad we took our cushions to sit on as the seats got very hard on the tush also took our sweaters too, as it was quite dewy and cooled down as the night wore on.

Saturday, was laundry and sewing day for me as it was a wet day, no working outside.  Got a lot done on the quilt top, so happy about that.  Hubby cooked a steak on the BBQ and there was enough left over for our dinner on Sunday.

Sunday, heavy rain showers left almost a 3/4 inch of rain the gouge.   Everything is looking nice and green again.

That brings us to today, Monday,  it is cloudy again and more rain is forecast, so not being done outside today either.   Some housework needs to be done this morning and then going to see if I can finish the top of the quilt.  

On Friday, my GD "K" had to attend a three hour exam for her to qualify to study for her PhD, received a message,  "I passed, now start in September for my PhD".  So proud of her.  Also received another message from GD "C' she has a new part time job at the airport where she is studying flight training, apparently doing a job I don't quite understand what it is but has something to do with airplane ramps, I have asked a question regarding that, so hope to find out more.   Also, so very proud of her.  I hate to think what these two girls would be doing if there were not here in Canada.

Update:

I was in the sewing room most of the afternoon, got a lot done, however, the colours and pattern is way out of my comfit zone, so having a lot of frustration to get it to look OK. Just thinking too much, should go with the flow and not worry about it.

We have had some showers and thunder rolling around but none of the storms came over us.  

Pork chop, squash and corn on the cob, dessert lemon poke cake and vanilla ice cream.
