I have had a very easy week for the first week of school. I only have two students and they have only attended about 2 1/2 days because of transportation problems with the bus company. Off to quilt the entire weekend can't wait.

The time has come......



Well it is time to hit the road back to NJ today. I hate to leave and go back to work but my other life is calling and it will be great to get a paycheck again and see my new students this fall. After a family BBQ, I am on the road again. Don't forget to sign up for my end of summer give away will be drawing a winner on September 5th.

Butterfly House in Chesterfield, MO






My SIL and I went to the Butterfly House in Chesterfield on Monday. I took a few photos to share with everyone. It is really a nice way to spend a few hours.

Summer gardening


My siblings and I are in the process of trying to sell my mother's estate in Edwardsville, IL. Once we do that we can settle up everything. I dug some daylilies from one of her lots and moved them to my yard.
