Another month goes by!
Wow, it's been so long since I posted!
I worked on one post for 2 weeks and finally got frustrated and deleted it! I was having issues with positioning my pictures where I wanted them and for some reason, I just couldn't do it. Probably sizing issues, but anyone that knows me knows how I HATE not being able to figure out how to do things that I really want to do!
Anyway, I'm back and ready to try again :)
August was very very busy with a couple of road trips and school starting for Daemyan. Then all hell broke loose with Buddy being attacked by a big dog, almost a week with no home phone and a broken pipe under the house, still not fixed, in addition to the craziness of the starting of a new school year and Dan starting a new job.
First, the fun stuff! Syl and I went to Hoodsport for a couple days with Daemyan and Noelle to meet up with mom and dad who were camping with the Good Sam's. It was a lot of fun and we had the most beautiful weather which was a great bonus. We took a different way coming home which took us across the Hood Canal Bridge and onto the ferry to Edmonds and finally Olive Garden for dinner! Great way to end a wonderful getaway!

What a Day
Not even sure how to start this post because it was a great AND tragic day at the same time.
Even though it is way past my beauty sleep time, because writing is therapeutic, I really needed to post.
This is the way a family outing starts out. This could have been the same picture snapped by the mom of the 11 year old girl that died at the ice caves today. Same age as Noelle. Just a little older than Daemyan. Wow,
I can barely comprehend (and don't want to) the grief and confusion this family must be feeling. You are trying to do the right thing by taking your kids on a road trip and the unthinkable happens.
We got there right as one of the aid cars was getting there. I was in la la land. Syl was driving, we had an awesome lunch and just wanted to take a nice drive. I wanted to do something with Daemyan. I wanted to stay and Syl and John wanted to leave.
I told Daemyan we were going to the ice caves and that's what I wanted to do.
I did not realize the severity of what had happened.
We started to walk the trail thinking that someone had broken a leg, not ok, but not life threatening. As we kept walking, people were walking back from the sight, very somber, shell shocked, but only a few shared what was going on. Some EMT's
passed us with a stretcher, in a hurry but not "rushing". I started to get a bad feeling that I was pushing aside. What did they know that we didn't?
But I had told Daemyan we were going to the ice caves and I didn't want to let him down. ......like his dad...... like his mom.............
Daemyan was a little snot today. I know he doesn't understand too much that went on at the ice caves today...........or last night with his dad.......... but I hope that someday he will look upon this day with fondness, even with it's tragedy, as a day he got to go on a road trip with grandma, aunt Sylvia, Noelle, and uncle John.
That's all I've got.

More on my quilt :)
I started this quilt for Daemyan last July. I have never made a quilt before, but working in a quilt store, you kind of catch the bug! I pieced it together a little bit at a time and finally had it professionally quilted and I love it!
It still needs the binding done, which I will have professionally done also since it takes a lot of hand sewing :(
I doubt it would EVER get done if I planned on doing it! Today Kandi, my boss, helped me make a pillow case with my leftover pieces. Also my first try at a pillowcase. It's really weird, the hum of my sewing machine is very relaxing ....kind of like comfort food. Reminds me of my mom sewing when I was younger. My french grandmother, mom's mom, also sewed, so I guess like singing, I am a late bloomer. Better late than never!
