Whew! It’s been some time since I posted, and a lot has been going on around here.
A few changes around the house (to accommodate an extra small freezer), will end with a change in my sewing space.
To start, a 'lid’ over this trunk, covered to convert it to a pressing board. Grizz is in the process of making a storage base for it that will do the double duty of storing some quilting supplies and raise the pressing board to a usable level.
We’re just back from a week-long trip to Alberta, arranged because little LV’s parents planned a celebration with friends and family to welcome her to the clan.
Which reminds me – LV is the new blog-name for Gracie. And Peanut (expected in October) will henceforth be called Eli until s/he is born. The reason for the changes – LV’s parents weren’t too excited about a name that wasn’t her own, and I decided to change from Peanut when we discovered that the 4H beef calf we bought was named Peanut (just too weird feeling like we’re eating our grandchild! LOL!)
But back to happenings around here. My parents joined us on our trip this past week, and we took the opportunity to visit all of my aunts and uncles, and a number of cousins. It was great! One uncle recently had a major surgery, then developed a bleed that nearly cost his life. He’s looking good and getting around really well now, but it was a scare! With some of these folks in their 90’s and one over 100, it’s important to take every opportunity to get together as often as we can these days.
On our drive out we rode a small ferry, that crosses the river only when there’s somebody to carry over.
The approach to the ferry dock was a little rustic:
The ferry is pulled across in part by a guide wire:
And the life raft – attached to the side:
It was an experience!!!
As we drove through Jasper National Park, we had the pleasure of watching some animals:
Baby sewing for Eli is continuing, but a pile of finished diapers, sheets and blankets was delivered:
The celebration for LV was of course our highlight.
4 generations of women:
And four generations:
Happy times! Blessings, Peg
