Happy Birthday America!

America the Beautiful   O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain; For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed His grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea. O beautiful for heroes proved In liberating strife, Who more than self their country loved And mercy more than life! America! America! May God thy gold refine, Till all success be nobleness, And every gain divine. O beautiful for patriot dream That sees, beyond the years, Thine alabaster cities gleam – Undimmed by human tears! America! America! God shed His grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea.

So what have you been up to???

I've done a bit of stitching - did this on Saturday night & Sunday a.m. & gave it to my dad with his other gifts for Father's Day... I think it's pretty cute.  It's Pine Mtn's "My Dad" in case anyone is interested.  I added the JABC Buttons to it.  I'm also still stitching on the Prairie Schooler for the friendship RR I'm doing with Nicole, Karen & Faye.  HOPE to finish it this week, wish me luck! I stopped at my parent's this afternoon on the way home from the pool for more veggies from the garden & look what my mom bought for me this a.m.!  Isn't it pretty?  I've always wanted a "crystal basket", but never bought one.  This one is large & heavy too - so pretty! She found this at the thrift shop for $3.  WHAT A DEAL!!!  And speaking of the pool - this is where we've been spending some time lately.   We're "pool sitting" until D&L return from CT in August.  Peaceful isn't it?  They...

From Karen SC....

A package came in the mail from Karen the other day, and look what was in it..... lovely cards that she made for me - look at the detail - the stamp on the envelope flap and she even stamps and hand signs the back of each one.  I think Karen is very talented and very sweet!  And since we're talking about sweet - look at what she sent my niece, Hannah.... After Karen, I think Hannah & her daddy (my bil) are the biggest Clemson fans I know, just like Karen &  her DH.  She made this for Hannah - isn't it CUTE?  Actually, I like it and tried to get Hannah to leave it with me & just visit it often,  but she said a firm "no" with a big smile on her face.  :-)  Thanks again Karen, we both really appreciate your kindness!! I have been stitching a very little bit this week.  Hope to have my current project done by Sunday maybe?  We'll see.  Going to visit my parents Sunday of course for Father's Day & the...
