A night to remember

Justin didn't have school a few weeks ago on a Monday when he usually does so we went to Holland. First for dinner at Fricanos, yum yum. Then we went to Collins park to play a little bit. We kinda stumbled upon the park as we where driving. So we played and walked and then played some more before we headed home. It was a nice change of pace from our busy life!!!

Grace and Peace.
Have a great weekend making great memories!!!

O happy day's

Now these are in no particular order.

ENJOY!!!!!

This was our trip to the Allegan Antique market. I found an amazing trunk for the basement. Justin had as much fun as I did. I was searching for antiques and unique finds and he was in search of food. Elephant ears and FRESH squeezed lemonade. He also found Tops baseball cards still in the original box. I consider this a win/win day!!!!

Our anniversary. A day on the links. It was fun but I am a long way from where I used to be out here. Justin kept telling me to relax and enjoy the day. And yes, I will do that, as soon as he relaxes while watching the Tigers and the "terrible coaching staff"


The boy's reading to "Eli" in MO. I think they were into it more then he was. Just sayin.

The first fruits from the garden!!!!


Byron Days. We road the bike to watch the parade, as it was just down the street. Eli had a great time watching the horses and the tractors. A country boy at heart. Someday Eli, maybe someday we will have a farm.

And last but not least................

Eli going #2 in Toronto. A mom just can't resist the need to take this pic!! Amen?

Grace and peace, I hope summer has been great. Get out and make it count. It's almost over!!!!

I bought this stuff 5 months ago to make a quilt for a new born baby. Well It didn't go as planned and I just finished it this week. I did have fun putting it together. And it was fun quilting it with my sewing machine. A few things I learned, I need to work on straight lines, patients and perseverance. I guess one positive thing is this quilt is covered in prayer!!!

And here is the finished product!! TaDa!! But have no fear, I have started to cut the next one out and this time hopefully my lines will be straighter. I am not going to give up, not yet at least!!

Well I hope everyone is enjoying the heat!! Stay cool!!

Grace and peace!!!
