Summer Watch

Last night marked the end of my summer. Even though the calendar still says it is summer; a big part of my job resumes next week, we have no more holidays until Thanksgiving and school has started for Nora. So all-in-all I have said good-bye to summer. Now I must reconcile with my summer wish list.

1. Make my t-shirt quilt.

What is this you ask? This is success!!! This is the four components to a finished quilt! Backing, batting, binding and quilt top! My quilt is, as we speak, at the quilters being quilted...I can't wait for the call to come in telling me that it is done. Then I can show you the true finished product!

2. Can applesauce.

This is on the books for later this month, my trip to The Netherlands took out a big chunk of August.

3. Swim a lot!

Success!

4. Go to Safari West with the fam.

Didn't happen but we did take Nora to Yosemite for her first visit which was fun and we have a trip to Disneyland is in the works...Safari West may have to be a summer 2012 excursion.

5. Decorate Nora's bedside stool.

Nora's Papa is in charge of making the bedside stool, he hasn't completed it yet, thus I haven't gotten to decorate it yet. :(

6. Go on lots of bike rides.

Success!

7. Walk to Baskin Robbins and have a scoop of ice cream as many times as Paul allows!

Success!
