Last Satuday we started a quilting class at church. Sally and Carolyn are organizing it and have about 17 people signed up, most from outside the church which is great. As I am a librarian, preachawife, and the purveyor of old-lady hobbies, of course I joined in. It was a dangerous move... I have a new addiction! Who knew that quilting was so much fun. I spent the morning of the Fourth cutting out a new one from all the scraps of blue cloth that I have left over from making curtains, pillowcases, etc. It's like putting together a giant puzzle... so satisfying!
I also went swimming at Lynn's and to the fireworks in Mason with Denise, Bambi, and Emily on the 4th as well. Here they are at the parade. I could shoot myself for forgetting my camera. Denise has an annual bet going with her parents as to how many tractors will be in the parade. There were 59 this year... her mom won! The parade also featured something I have never seen before - a lady riding a cow. Yes, a big old cow, strolling right down the street behind the mounted cops. She had a saddle and everything.
The fireworks were gorgeous and right above our heads. They were so close it was almost scary. I WISH I'd had my camera... but that would mean that all of you would have to be subjected to lots of boring fireworks photos, so it's probably a good thing.
