Donated

 Donated

For the past 2 years I have donated a quilt to the Lodge for their silent auction during the annual Witches Ball.

This year's donated quilt is a quilt I made in 2022. The beautiful machine quilting was done by Sharon L. a wonderful and very talented local machine quilter.

Lodge Weekends

 Lodge Weekends

BINGO, cocktails, darts, and a fish fry.

I didn't get photos of the dart tournament or the fish fry but both were excellent.

I didn't win one single game of BINGO but as always I enjoyed it so much.

I tried a new cocktail and it was delicious, and it tasted very much like Butterfinger candy bar. One of my personal favorite candy bars.

It was a great weekend with friends at the lodge.

My weekends tend to consist of darts at the lodge and my sewing room ... it's an excellent combination of fun, friends, and the solitude of my happy place.

Just don't get much better than that, in my opinion.

I LOVE WEEKENDS!!!

Life IS Sew Sweet!

 Life IS Sew Sweet!

Life here is my sewing room and beyond really IS so very sweet!

I love my home, I love my family, I love my friends. I'm grateful for my health and the ability to get out and about.

Friday night I got out and about with my friends for a dart tournament at the Lodge.

We all had a blast.

We also won the dart tournament!

Happy Halloween Witches

 Happy Halloween Witches

Last week I attended the Witches Luncheon at the Lodge. It was so much fun. Everyone dressed up and just enjoyed the festivities.

Just a witch hanging out with the Harry Potter Posse ... of course!

Next year I think I may dress up as Luna Lovegood ... hummm!

Happy Halloween!

I have donated this quilt for the silent auction at the "Witches" Luncheon at the Lodge in October. I'm so happy that Autumn is almost here.

Summer Is Not My Jam ...

 Summer Is Not My Jam

I love all of the seasons and I enjoy living in an area that experiences all four seasons but, I will say that summer is my least favorite season.

I'm more of an indoor person but in the summer I seek the shelter of the cool inside.

This past Sunday afternoon I decided to go to the pool at the Lodge. I had a great time but in a matter of a few afternoon hours ...

Packing up more than I really needed ...

The pool was cool and refreshing ... but not biting cold ...

I managed to get a sunburn ... even with multiple applications of sunscreen.

50 to 100 sunscreen!

Only me ... summer just isn't my jam!

Flag Day Services

 Flag Day Services

I enjoyed my first Flag Day Service.

I learned a great deal about our beautiful Flag today.

And, I was able to watch how torn and old flags were respectfully destroyed.

It was a wonderful ceremony and I am honored to have been able to attend.

O Say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave.

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

As you know ... May totally got away from me ... I've been so busy ... busy in a good way! I've been knitting, crocheting, quilting, handbag making, bowling, swimming, playing darts, and visiting with folks!

It's been great getting out and about again! It feels like summer!

On the swimming, playing dart and visiting folks front ... I joined the Elk's Lodge ...

😎😎😎

I am enjoying being a member of the Lodge so much. Everyone has been so friendly and welcoming. 

I am enjoying meeting new people and making new friends.

What a great group people.
