Inspired by the seven hour tape of the sleeping cat on CO, I show you a series of photos taken by Hubby of Handsome spending his day in the preferred manor.

Those are my feet in the first picture.  I am working on the same counted cross stitch that I am working on in my profile picture.  It was one of cats!  I will post that soon.  Now I am working on one of Handsome.

 

I'll just share a memory I have as well, being it is Hanukah.  So the kids and I would sit down on the floor to play Driedel.  We would often used M&M's instead of pennies.   That was a good 15 years ago, when getting down on the floor and back up was not a major event, but just something I could do at will.  Handsome was one and didn't have arthritis back then either.  The dreidel would be spinning and out of the corner of our eyes we'd see his butt twitching back and forth and then CHARGE!  And then yet another dreidel would be gone, some to be found, some never to be recovered!

Here's a wall hanging I made for my cow orker when she bought a new house.

 

And here are some pictures of a wall hanging a group of us made for the library we quilt in:

 

 

These pix are not too good, I took them with my phone.  I'll borrow Marc's camera the next time I go to quilting!

Although I have not continued my vacation blog as promised... I must share with you what happened when we decided to go to the San Francisco zoo.  As we approached the booth to present our tickets, the ticket taker was shreeking and laffing and saying OMG OMG!  Seems she was about to have a Dorrito when a small evil being, ran down her booth and grabbed one out of the bag and then ran.  Here is the culrpit!!  Look into the face of pure evil.  I was sooo glad we left our lunches in the car.

Did you go to summer camp?  Which one?  What did you enjoy doing? 
Submitted by Something Else.

I went to several summer camps and loved all of them!  I'm only posting this 'cause I saw so many negative posts about camp.  I went to day camp and sleepaway.  so did my kids who are grownups now and plan on sending their kids to camp.  All the "Y" camps (YMHA and YMCA) camps I've either been to, sent kids to, or had friends or friend's kids go to were excellent!  We're a camp loving family!!!!!  Their was only one camp my duaghter didn't like, but my son loved it so it was just a bad match for her!!
