Labor Day weekend

Sunshine! A really lovely day. 

I got a package in the mail from my friend Nan with a double wedding ring quilt top.

I will put it together and quilt it for her.

I have a few things to do then it is outside to enjoy this beautiful day.

A SUNNY MORNING

The weather has been perfect. Yesterday I was out in my screen house. The sky was blue and not a cloud to be seen. Today it should be the same with a temp of 82.

I read my friend Beth's blog and her " Thought for the day" was really nice. Check it out at

www.michmasschmidt.blogspot.com/

Read her Thought for the Day and see if it gives you time to reflect.

Time to get my lunch and get outside. This beautiful day is to be enjoyed.

My neighbor Bill brought me over two nice tomatoes. I am going to have one with my lunch.

Auntie Alice says HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Happy Birthday Girls. The "Goldsmith Girls" Tracy and Wendy both have today the 26 as their birthdays . Now  grown ladies and mothers they are terrific.

I had my car repaired by Luddens Auto repair. Now my car is back and I feel safer to have the work done on it.Must get outside and take my walk.

A beautiful Saturday. Lots of sunshine. I have my chores all done and will have a lunch  and then get outside.

I am home alone this weekend. So I can relax and have no schedule.

Will be out in my screen house with my cell phone. Reading a book. Enjoy the weekend & those

you love.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BECKY

Today is the birthday of my first grandchild. A GIRL ! ! Happy birthday Rebekah .

Now a grown lady. Sorry we have not been in touch lately.

My son is leaving for a weekend in Auburn. Will be attending some function in Portland.

Must get outside. It is just beautiful.

The Sun is shinning bright today ! !

As soon as my chores are done I will be outside enjoying this beautiful day. Mike is off to cut grass for a neighbor.

I am going to read in my screen house. The goldenrod is blooming and the leaves are starting to turn color. The young ones are looking forward to starting school September 2nd. 

I am so glad to see the low 80's for the American Folk Festival this weekend in Bangor.

Life gets difficult

Everything was going well. Saturday we went to the landfill and Sunday we went grocery shopping. Then Monday called about the repair work I need on my car. Called the auto company in Pittsfield where we bought the car.

I could make an appointment but it was getting it there and me getting back to get it. I have AAA but it is NOT a taxi service.

So called a repair place in Newport. They will get my car and return it. This is to happen Monday.

So I will miss a wedding Saturday in Harpswell. Don't dare go that far with worn bushings.

Made me realize how much I miss my Goldie.

It is a nice sunny Saturday

My son Alan went home yesterday and I miss him. My other son Mike is out mowing the grass before we may get some showers here.

Today is the birthday of my brother Bobby. It is also the 21st birthday of my special niece Fran.

So a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to both. Tomorrow my other brother Rodney has a birthday so HAPPY BIRTHDAY to him as well.

August is really a big birthday month for my family and friends. Have a great weekend.

Sunshine this Friday morning

Today I must finish the Overall Sam quilt. Just need to put the binding on,

I still have both my sons here with me.

 I will miss them when they leave and I am alone again.

We had FOG this morning

The sun will soon be shining. Should be a really nice day.

My oldest son will go home today. I will miss him.

I hope to get out and enjoy my screen house today. It is so nice.

We have SUNSHINE

Good morning everyone. We have sunshine. It is a day to get outside and enjoy this weather.

When I first moved here I was impressed with the sunsets that I saw in my backyard.

This is the picture of one of them.

Must get birthday wishes off to some family and friends. It is a big birthday month for those I love.

Good Monday Morning

It is a cloudy day but not raining ....at lest not yet.

I have both my boys here and that is so nice.

Wishing all a HAPPY DAY.

Back Home again

I am back after spending time with my sister at camp. The weather was not the greatest but I really enjoyed myself. Nice to get away to rest and relax.

I was pleased to see my sisters friends. I had not seen her friend Sally since their college days. I also met another friend of hers named Sheila. I already had met Brenda. So we had a ladies night.

Today I am waiting for my son to arrive from southern Maine. Then I will have both boys with me and that will be nice.

I took NO pictures at the lake because I had dead batteries in my camera. How dumb! !

Stay happy and enjoy everyday. Alice

It is Sunday and a cloudy day. No rain yet. It did rain overnight. The neighborhood is so green and very nice. My son mowed our grass yesterday before it does rain again.

Wednesday I will go on vacation for a little while with my sister. 

Then my son will be up from Scarborough to visit us. So  I will have both of my boys here.

The 23rd I will be in Harpswell to attend a wedding.

If I get some good pictures I will put them up on my blog.

I need to finish quilting the Sunbonnet Sue. 

I am now having coffee in a beautiful mug my friend Beth gave me.  Enjoy your day.
