This summer sure did fly by. It was VERY hot here in MI. We used our air conditioner more than any other summer since we moved here in 1995! I took some short trips. I went to Ludington for a few days for some "ladies time" with Jan. We shopped, ate, walked, sat on the beach and watched some girl flix--great time!! I also spent a week in PA going to a show (Wizard of Oz) at a local dinner theater. My brother was the Wizard--great show! Plus, I got to spend the evening with my cousins and their wives. I also spent time with friends from high school, college, the internet and family. It was a very enjoyable trip --especially the hoagie!!

From my hooks and needles: Haley went off to college in Aug. (SEMO). I made her a set of washcloths for each day of the week. I attempted to add "study" on the band on 6 of them and "party" on the 7th, but I couldn't get the duplicate stitch to look right. So I told her the pink one was for partying and she could only use it one day a week! (yeah--right!!)
I aso made her an afghan for her dorm bed in her school colors, which aslo happen to be her high school colors!
One last "off to college item--a new pillowcase. The very first pillowcase I made was for Haley many years ago. Now all the grandkids have several and I am selling them. I still love making them. Her room is decorated in her favorite colors--pink and black. Have fun Haley and don't forget to study!!
