Truro . . .

we finally got away for a vacation to Truro in September . . . we had such a good and relaxing time . . . it's like heaven there, I swear . . . we just vegged out . . . ate . . . ate . . . ate . . . and so relaxed . . .

listening to the water lapping the shore at night while you're sleeping . . . it just totally rejuvenates you . . .

Wellfleet was our view to the left . . . and Provincetown was the view to the right . . . the sunsets over Provincetown were incredible . . . 

I spent most of my time in the adirondack chairs . . . reading or just watching the water . . . especially the waves during high tide . . . Dick did the same . . .

those 2 folks in the kayaks . . . are NOT us !!

Sienna's "5th Birthday" Quilt . . .

well I've been away from blogland for quite a while . . . I'm going to attempt to get caught up with what's been happening the last several months . . . probably not in any particular order . . .

I did finish my granddaughter's 5th birthday quilt . . . using fabric from "Me and My Sister Favorites" . . . I like the way it came out . . . and she loved it because it was BRIGHT . . . just as she asked for . . .

most of the quilt fabrics were flowers . . . so I wanted something in the border with bees, butterflies, dragonflies . . . that kind of thing . . . the quilter had a terrific pattern of dragonflies buzzing all over so that's what I had her use for the quilting . . . the last photo shows a dragonfly buzzing around . . .
