I Like 2019-#9

I like...

I like a challenge!

My quilt guild is hosting a 

B.U.M. Challenge

(butt ugly material)

Each quilter gets a fat quarter of the

same material and makes a quilt

related item over the next 3 months.

It's bright.

It's orangey.

It's kind of ugly.

I have a couple of ideas

how to use it.

I like learning

I have posted before about taking

classes online.

My current class is about Women's

Suffrage in the United Kingdom.

I did not realize all that went into

getting the vote for women.

I learned that there was a group of

artist who donated their time and talent into

making banners and posters to help the cause.

I think I would have been part of

their group. 

Here is a video about one of the leaders.

A statue of her, the first of a woman,

was dedicated this past year,

Millicent Fawcett Statue

I like Spring

I am not a big fan of Winter, so

I happily welcome Spring this week.

Today, it is raining in the Valley and

snowing in the Mountains, but

that is just how Spring is here in Utah.

I like our cat

(most of the time)

She is a rescue and even after

3.5 years at our house, she still has her issues.

She is not warm and cuddly, but we still like her.

I Like...

I like Grandparents Day

I was invited to my Granddaughters

Kindergarten Grandparents day.

The children sang songs...we had cookies

and milk...toured the school...played games.

The children also had a list of questions

to ask their grandparent. I had to explain

what the game of Monopoly was to her.

I like the Generosity of Friends

I have some of the best friends in the World

and they are so generous!

The last few months, I have 3 friends

who brought me boxes and boxes

(and boxes) of fabric they wanted to share.

We had a Free Fabric day at my 

monthly quilt guild this last week.

All the ladies went home with armloads

and boxes of fabric. There will be lots

of sewing going on....

I like Spring

I am not a fan of Winter...

I like that we are beginning to see Spring

I like the fuzzy face family members

Unfortunately, this week, my daughters

family found out their sweet dog has

a heart problem that cannot be fixed.

I had to take him to the vet for tests.

They are going to enjoy what time they have

with him. He is truly a family member.

I like camping and hiking

With the changes in the weather, I

am ready to start camping.

One of our favorite places to go is

Yellowstone National park

Yellowstone celebrated their 147th

anniversary this month. It was the

first National park in the USA.

We prefer to camp there in the Fall, when

there is not so many people.

I like 2019-#7

My I Like post is very simple this week.

I Like my family!

I am blessed to have a great Husband,

terrific adult children and in-;laws

and especially the best grandchildren.

This past week was my Husband and my

birthday week. We tend to be low key

about celebrating. This year was going to 

be an especially quiet celebration, because

I had surgery on my arm

Our kids had a different idea...

The kids surprised us

with pizza, cake and, most importantly,

every family member!

Sisters with kids

Twin cousins (born weeks apart)

Youngest grandchild expressing her two year old self

(translation: tantrum)

Aunt teaching the youngest the piano

All the grandkids at the same time!

Ages 2-14 years old

We were given this beautiful clock made by

our oldest granddaughter

She is our 5th generation woodworker!
