More INKLINGO

Here is a bonus block for the Inklingo Sampler। I think I want to make the extentions for the
6 inch block in green to match the leaves.

Saw that my friend Elly had joined the BOW with Tilde. How could I not keep her company. Here are the first 2 blocks.
Tilde will post a new one every Friday...until she gets bored.
These are not the best pictures...new camera ;-}

Inklingo

Spent yesterday destroying 2 printers printing out 25 sets of 5 of the FREE Lemoyne Star INKLINGO. Have 1 set left to do before I can send it off to Cathi for the swap. Charlie fixed the printers. It seems you really should trim off the threads...LOL
Went for dinner with friends, then watched a Clive Owens movie from Netflix.
Yesterday is over.
Set alarm clock so I would be able to say goodbye, have a great summer, to Bex and Sarah and Jackie. Jackie takes off from her real job and works at the camp. I then went back to sleep.

July 1 to July 9, 2009

July 1
Flight from Hell. Sat in Ft. Lauderdale Airport for 6 hours waiting to take an hour and 20 minute flight...another 2 hours and I could have driven...LOL!
My son-in-law, David, picked me up after midnight. By the time we drove to his house it was around 1 AM. We were suppose to have dinner at 6:15. Maybe we will have breakfast this morning at 6:15.
July 2 and 3
Spent the day at the pool with Rebecca and Jackie
July 4 and 5
Went to Myrtle Beach and had a wonderful time with Rebecca and Jackie.
David and Sarah went to Boone, NC. Rock climbing, hicking, and white water rafting.
Had dinner in the hotel resturant on the ocean and we were treated to a wonderful fireworks display.
Sleep, breakfast and back to the beach. All in all a wonderful time.
July 6 and 7
At home Charlie took my daughter Michele for a Birthday dinner and to the movies.
Back in SC, Rebecca, Sarah and I went out for lunch, did a little shopping and bought supplies to craft for the next 2 days. We also celebrated David's and Sarah's birthdays and Rebecca's UN-birthday.
July 8
We finished up the crafts and lounged around waiting for Jackie to take me out to dinner and to the airport. Twenty minutes later we were boarding and airborne.
Charlie looks wonderful and it is great to be home.

PACKING...YUCK

Packing might be the worst thing in the world. The airline wanted to charge $30.00 a bag IN EACH DIRECTION, on a $18.00 flight. What's wrong with this picture???
All of our luggage is heavy without anything in it, and travelling alone I need something I can lift. So off we went to Macy's where they were almost paying you to take it out of the store...LOL. I got 2 pieces, small rolling duffle and a large tote. Both of these items, together, are lighter than any one piece in the closet. All in all I paid $100.oo plus tax for $500.00 worth.
Now the fun part...Although I live in Florida, I don't have a bathing suit.
I tried on many, either they were too long, too short, too tight or too big, and all the same size. I walked away with nada. Found a 10 year old suit from when I lived on the beach, a little "snug" (much nicer than tight) but it will do. So now I am ready for the trip. Whatever I don't have I can do without.

June 29, 2009

Well, it seems my travelling is not done for the summer. I got the "grandmother" call. I leave Wednesday for Columbia, SC. Jackie, Rebecca and I will be going to the beach, staying at a hotel and having manicures and pedicures. These are Rebecca's requests. What's a grandmother to do...LOL
The weather in sunny South Florida has been anything but, rain and thunder every day. Bex (Rebecca's nick name) said it is beautiful in SC.

Here it is 3:10 in the afternoon and all I accomplished was going to a Weight Watchers meeting. Let's hear it for 2 pounds down. Hip, Hip, Hooray!!!!

I am now going to finish a Basketcase block that I started in New York. NOT getting up until I finish, yah right . Will post when I am done.

There really is nothing else to do today, it's has been raining all day. We really need it down here, Okeechobee is way down.
