Celebrations and Goodbyes

I have just realised it is almost a month since I did a ‘weekly’ blog.  Somehow the summer months are so filled with things that keep me away from the computer and the sewing machine.  We’ve had the annual ‘tea and cake’ for our eldest, and taken the pic of her and the kids, so we can say ‘look how much they’ve grown.IMG_2259IMG_2261

A couple of days later we helped my friends celebrate their 50th anniversary.2014-07-19 21.24.14

Our youngest girl said a sad goodbye to this wee lady who was 14 1/2 yrs old. This was taken some years ago.IMG_0013Molly had been her constant companion since college, when she got sneaked into the room in a pocket.

And hello to this rascal, Phoebe.2014-07-11 15.39.10

She wanted company for this  guy who was sad to lose his companion. JR is a friendly little dog who is finding it just a wee bit difficult having a juvenile to cope with.IMG_0409

Grandaughter finished her last summer’s project. A woolfelt cushion with her name on it. I think she is going to be a typical needlewoman. A few UFO’s always around.

The summer has been glorious. We have been out and about a lot. Unfortunately I didnt take many pics.  This was at Bangor, on a day when we took the train and relaxed, with no driving to do.
