The guys showed up shortly before 9 Am and I signed the last papers around 11 o'clock. They were very efficient and professional. That's your coffee table on the top of the heap all tucked in for the journey. I think you will get it sooner than you think. Wish I could have climbed in there too, but I don't think I fit in their boxes! 
Angie and I joined together to make a quick new quilt for Mom/Grandma. This turned out so much nicer than I hoped. We had the expert help and services of Keri Stone and Island quilting. She had this puppy quilted on her long arm machine in a day. Thanks Keri. We finished the binding, washed it to give it that crinkled age look. Love it.
Three Stooges plus one! I was trying to get pics after church before Jenny got out of her uniform. At the same time Dad took a movie on his I phone. I think they liked his presentation best.
Sweet. They are such fun little Stooges.
The dueling sewing machines are working towards completing a new quilt for Mother's bed. I took bits of my fabric and mother's fabrics and started on this trellis kind of patchwork.
You see the white going in between squares, the blocks on point. When it's all done it does resemble white trellising. I am having my friend Keri quilt it quickly on her longarm machine. I am hoping to bring it with me and I may be stitching the binding in Baltimore! See you all soon.
Look closely and you will see sentinal cat. Angie and Jenny were pulling into the driveway when they spotted Midnight perched on the antlers address post for our neighbors. He was content to stay there and wait for Angie to run in the house and fetch her camera. Cats are funny.
Rick and Jenny are on the ferry as I write this post. It is time for Jenny to report to San Antonio and Dad is helping with the three and a half day drive. They will consume lots of sunflower seeds, gum, sing songs, listen to books on cd and make many memories. I envy them that time but I am a lousy long distance driver so Rick gets the honor. Did you notice my nest is looking empty? My heart is Sad today. Going away to college is one thing. Moving is another. Now I know what I put my poor Mother through. 
The chocolate souffle was amazing. Oh so good.
The cheese bread looks amazing, took forever to cook but man oh man... smell that yeast?
Jenny's engine hauling skills are not to be rivaled says her dad. Looks like she's going to saddle up. 
And though this year's catch has been low to no crabs on some days, it is always fun going out and actually doing the crabbing. Throwing the girls back. Getting out on the water. What a great summer.
This is a necessary batch of salsa. We were on our last jar with no tomatoes ripening in anyone's garden. The best I could do was buy Romas at the store and let them ripen as much as possible before starting. This batch is still cooking but you must taste test as you go...
That was pretty good but I think I have another taste test to try.
Now this is the best way to try out a new batch. There is nothing so scrumptious as hot fresh salsa and avocado.
