The Party's Over
Really, I'm still here on earth! Just absent from blogging because I am back at work at the college where I work after a summer off. I have been just overwhelmed with the amount of work there is to do before all the students show up next week. Anyways here's some of what I did on my summer vacation.
I saw the woman on the left, my MIL, accept her award for Senior Citizen of the year in her town. It was a surprise and this woman is really hard to surprise so it was a super colossal surprise.
I made this quilt
and this quilt. I have actually got this one back from my quilter so I'll get a picture posted soon. I also made a fall table runner but I haven't quilted it yet so it will show up here at some point.
I welcomed a new grandson and played alot with his big brother, my first grandson. It was a fun time going to the beach with him.
I picked a few flowers from my garden. I also was able to pick peas and lettuce and that was it. It was too wet a summer for a garden in NH this summer.
I also went to Maine, did a bit of antiquing, and just generally recharged my batteries. It was a good summer. Hope yours was too.
Sounds like an awesome time!! Love the quilts and grandboys!!!!
ReplyDeleteI work as an office manager at a college here as well but I work all summer. We started fall classes on Monday and woowhee it's been crazy. Good luck with your start-up.
ReplyDeleteI was looking at your pictures of maine and want to get up there. The week we planned on going it rained, do stayed home. I love that area, lots of beautiful scenery and places to go.

Congrats! on the new grandson!!! What cuties you have! Bummer that you had to go back to work, but you accomplished a LOT this summer... two quilts??? I'm impressed!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a pretty good summer . . . . even if it was just a touch on the wet side *s*
ReplyDeleteGosh you're not kidding. It's time to go back already?
ReplyDeleteWell I'll tell you one thing. I really love this post and the way you reflect with such gratitude and appreciation for the time you had off. What a delight you are.
Very pretty quilts.
ReplyDeleteHi Chris,

I love that quilt on the bed...gorgeous colors! Your grandsons are both so precious :) And yay for your mil's surprise. That's a great award!
ReplyDeleteSigh...
ReplyDeleteAlways a shame to get back into harness after a holiday.
Loved your pics of Maine.
Your quilts look great.
I work at a University too. Its always exciting when the students return from the summer, but this year I have not had a summer vacation at all and man on man, does that make a difference. Hope you have a good year. Love the quilts you made over the summer.
