Friday-the best day of the weekend!

Oh, the anticipation of a 3 day weekend and the start of summer!  We started our weekend with another basement project.  Michael installed the 2 mini blinds in the windows!  Our daughter is moving home for 3 weeks and will be in the basement.  The longest part of the installation was shortening the length of the blinds!!!  They are in and look fabulous!

Tuesday again.

Helped Micaela do some moving and spent a little time working on a miniature basket.  Interesting because I don't have a preconcieved notion as to how these will turn out so it is fun to see them develop.  This one is 2 inches across and 1 1/2 inch high so far.  It is made out of hemp and the beads are wooden.

WOW Quilt Quild

I attended a quilt quild meeting tonight as a guest of one of the church quilters.  What a talented group of women!  We had a great speaker, lots of show and tell, some door prizes and plans for the October quilt show.  They meet in Medina once a month.  I will have to ponder if I want to join or not.  Oh, WOW stands for Women of the West (suburbs that is).

No rain today, thank goodness.

Rainy Sunday

We have ended up with 3 inches of rain in 2 days.  Tornado touched down in our town and we had no damage.   Sirens went off twice for us.   Many others were not so lucky.  Finished a quilt top for church and am working on hemming Micaela's skirt.  Did some wash, cut Michaels hair and a bit of cleaning in the laundryroom.

Rainy Saturday

Today Michael was determined to get the 8 fence post dug.  Pouring rain.  He had help to come and use the gas powered mower too.  We ended up getting 1 1/2 inches of rain.  By dinner all were dug and set into the ground.  It was wet and soggy and muddy work.

Hibbing Graduation

Our son Daniel went through graduation from Hibbing Community College yesterday.  Besides the happy event of graduation we did a quick tour of the high school.

Ate at Zimmys (a Bob Dylan hangout),

It was a great day.
