I can't complain about summer, so far! June Gloom has outdone itself and I've still been able to bake in the oven without inciting a muntiny amount my family. I'm thankful. That is always a downside of the sunny days because I always get to craving stews simmering on the stove and bread baking in the oven - not great on 110-degree days!
College children with vastly different schedules has kept us on our toes and on the road this summer. You love seeing your children become independent but wish you could catch a glimpse of those toddlers, again. The years truly fly by.
Quilting is still happening. I've gotten over my addiction to making pincushions - after making over 25 of them! Just purchased my second bolt, of the year, of batting. I wait for those 50% off coupons and save $80 on the item. It's just storing 40 yards of quilt batting! It's like trying to hide a body as I move it from place to place hoping to keep it unobserved. It is residing next to me right now which is an improvement over being in the entry way!
I've got more pattern ideas than I have time these days. I also have five quilt tops that need completing. I've picked a great economy to make quilts no one can afford to purchase. Hey, I should try selling them to senators and congressmen as they don't seem to be suffering the income problems of us 'little' people!
Loved celebrating Father's Day as husbands do a lot more than they ever get credit for. Respecting health dictates, I made a cheesecake with half non-fat cream cheese and the rest 1/3 less fat cream cheese. It retained the same flavor and texture of the full-fat version but didn't leave you feeling bloated and guilty over having indulged. A 'fat-free' fresh strawberry topping finished it off nicely and my husband was happy.

Quote for salvation!
The way to Heaven is straight and narrow: they who wish to arrive at that place of bliss by walking in the paths of pleasure shall be disappointed; and therefore few reach it, because few are willing to use violence to themselves in resisting temptations. –St. Alphonsus Ligouri
