I only stitch on days that end in "y".

Happy Independence Day!

Happy Independence Day!  I'm forever grateful to all who have served to keep us free. I hope everyone enjoys celebrating with family and friends.

I'm still model stitching but spent a little stitching time finishing LHN's All Is Calm.  I think I'll leave off the buttons but could change my mind sometime in the future.



On the food front, I tried a new (to me) recipe for a peach pie last week.  DH had bought some really good peaches from Central Market.  It was so good that I made another peach pie yesterday.


I'm still walking 5 mornings a week.  It's really getting hot but it feels so good to get some exercise.  The track I walk at the community college straddles 2 small cities and I chuckled the first time I saw these signs along the path:




We're also in the middle of getting some repairs done to the support for the bricks in front of our garage.  It seems the original builder miscalculated the load (or just wanted to cheap out) so we were starting to have some sagging.  It's not a "fun" project, let alone the expense but it will be good to have it done.  Next project, hopefully, will be some work on 2 bathrooms.



Happy stitching!

Friday wip and Strawberry pie

I'm model stitching again but took a brief break to start stitching LHN's All is Calm as my monthly ornament.


I recently saw a recipe online of a strawberry crumb pie so tried it last weekend.  I usually don't bake this time of year because it's too hot to turn on the oven but I baked this in the toaster oven so it didn't get the whole house hot.

  It was really good!  ..especially with a little ice cream on top.  I sent some to the neighbors so they could help us eat it and they liked it too.






Happy stitching!
