Same old, same old!

 Hot. Muggy. Mosquitos. The days sort of run together here, and sometimes I don't know what day it is! I haven't been sewing much...I did a binding for Nancy and made a few block components yesterday, but otherwise, I have been occupied with errands, cooking, cleaning and dog training. Unfortunately, Penny doesn't seem to care about 'come' or 'stay'. It's a challenge! The pool is great, the people are super nice, and it is wonderful to spend some time with my Dad. I'll be fine.

Nancy's quilt is  ready to send!

Penny loves the freedom to run at the dog park. She and her buddy Kizzy have a frolic every evening.


At home, after the frolic, , I watch episodes of British mysteries while Penny amuses herself with her toys and blanket.

Family visit

Two of our daughters came for the weekend and we had a wonderful visit. #1 came from Arizona, and #4  came from Portland, Oregon! They each made a long trip for only two days, but we were so happy to see them after over a year. Needless to say, I didn't sew at all, and will probably need a day or so to recover from the late nights. I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Four trips to the airport should have the route seared into my memory, but I still rely on GPS to get me there and back...especially at night, in the rain! Mr Wazoo patiently waits for daughter #1.

Nothing yet...

Here she is! Safe and ready to visit.

Her son, (my grandson), sent this picture from his oath ceremony. He joined the Navy! She got the pictures while we waited at the airport.

Recognize the stairway? Daughter #4 came in at 12:15 AM after a delay in Dallas for bad weather here. We drove to the airport to pick her up in pouring rain. Not fun. We were all exhausted when we got home.

At the airport, there is a sculpture made from trash that washed up on South Padre island, about 20 miles from here. The sign that was with it tells the story.



Humberto is beautiful, but very sad. I wish people would pick up after themselves and think about their actions before leaving trash on the beach or in the water.

Speaking of in the water...We girls went in the pool to cool off.

We all went to the dog park with Penny.

She's a PA, and gave Dad a once over, helping him with his blood sugar testing.

Back at the airport to see off #1.

Before we knew it, it was time to say good bye. Mr Wazoo flies out on Tuesday, so I will make the trek to the airport again! He will be home in Georgia taking care of some business. There had better be some sewing happening while I am here by myself! I want to finish the blue and white top and start something new. We'll see... Its really quiet here. I think I'll take a nap.
