Summer has been great but I've missed you!

I'm slowly getting this quilted! YAY

Love the Lady Liberty backing!

I was looking for some little flags and Sunny was generous and shared with me! Thank you again!
Our summer weather has been seriously amazing (fires and smoke started a few days ago) so I've been getting out when I can. Here's a recap.
Made it 8600' on Mt Bachelor and because I was solo I wasn't keen on going over another snow field. It was fun. I was able to get a free ride on the chair lift down. (after I hiked back to the chair lift)
We had a DeJarnatt family camp.

Cory and his two remaining siblings.
There were 3 tiny dogs that Elsa would have liked to play with but they ignored her- so she slept!
My niece and her family came to Central Oregon before family camp for vacation and they experienced THIS! We are grateful that everyone was okay and the pickup was in the driveway and not under the trees in the grass. So much to be thankful for.
Among the burnt debris somewhere was Cory's mom's wedding ring.
FOUND! After about 2 hours of meticulous sifting. We aren't sure how it will clean up, but finding it was a start.
This past weekend I day hiked.
Then backpacked with a friend.
Mt Washington with the sunset glow.
After 12 miles I was whooped!
Look at this amazing breakfast view!
We really enjoyed watching the world cup and reading social media of the non-American fans discovering the USA! It was quite a unifying time. (If you were looking for it)
I think Erling Haaland found a few new fans!
Can't wait to get to Europe in September!
I hope ya'll are doing great.
Love your eagle quilt. Yes, it doesn't take too long to get out of practice quilting. Unpicking is never fun but necessary sometimes. What a glorious sunset picture and then a beautiful sunrise picture. I've missed your posts too but I'm so happy you and Cory are enjoying the summer in a fun & healthy way! Summer's not over so keep on hiking!
ReplyDeleteStay safe in all the smoke. We missed you too. Keep on Quilting. This year is great for stitching RWB! Family is everything!
ReplyDeleteWe missed you too. Wonderful quilt, amazing hikes.
ReplyDeleteWhy did the truck catch on fire? Not vandalism, I hope?
Sad the little dogs ignored Elsa. Some small dogs don t realise that big dogs are same species. But too bad.
I hope the little flags are useful, all I had.
So nice to see your blog again! I loved your eagle quilt. It is good that you do all that hiking, not just for enjoying the beauty or getting exercise, but it’s just good because you’re able to do it. I say that because my days of doing that are over due to severe osteoporosis. In the past year, both of my femur have spontaneously fractured and required surgery. They are healing and I’m able to walk pretty well with a cane as well as go to physical therapy in a pool but I know those days are over. I’m 74 so I guess that’s not too bad but I think you’ll make it a lot longer. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteI'll be in Switzerland for most of Sept. where are you headed? Glad you got some little flags :0)
