I've not made one quilt this summer! I don't know where time has gone. Honestly, it's not that I've done so much,
but I've not done anything. The mats arethe first thing I've done! Hard to believe.
Ok no excuses maybe, but the granddaughter has been busy winning medals at the Canadian championships and we were there. My sweetie yelled so much that he had no voice for two days and is actually still recouping from cheering her and others on.
We also moved her to her new digs inOttawa. This is her second year at University so she is renting an apartment with three other girls. Such excitement!
On the weekend we also cheered the young guy with his arm around his "Nana" after winning a gold medal. He is such a nice kid. He's been so busy this summer along with his mother, my daughter who was one of the many volunteers for the
regatta that we attended that we hardlysaw her at all. So Jeremy took a quick trip
home today and brought his mother flowers. So thoughtful and his mother was thrilled to pieces.
On the homefront, here is the work crew assembling and getting ready to install the new top for my boat which will also have a plastic wrap around to keep us out of the weather this fall when the winds blow cold.
So many of us are getting ready for the new school year. We could see U Haul trailers on the highways this passed weekend. All heading to new places for so many students.
The lake has hardly any activity on it at all. The odd boat goes by and we wave to acknowledge life on the lake.
The humming birds are going crazy getting fatter and fatter getting ready to head south. The nights are cooler too. It is coming fast, that cooler weather. We see the leaves just starting to change colour. A sure sign.

isn't it amazing how fast the summer has flown! somehow it seems the older we get the faster time flies. We seemed to have spent all the summer indoors because of the heat wave and still time flew.

Summer went by way to fast here too! School has started but it is so nice to have the cool evenings.
How fun to have a quilting buddy. I love the placemats. and wow, your grandchildren!! They are so amazing! Way to go Nana!!
Leaves changing colour already! My heavens, it will be September tomorrow......where is this year going!
Congratulations to Courtney and Jeremy! How wonderful that you and your "Sweetie." were there to share the events with them. Aren't grandchildren great? (rhetorical question as our Jackson would say)
We'll be up on Thursday evening - Mother nature permitting. Looking forward to seeing you both - it's been toooo long!

Congrats to the kids and doesn't Nana look proud :0) Summer really has flown by quickly. It's fine if fall wants to arrive but winter can hold off until the end of January or something LOL.

I love seeing all the cute Christmas stuff that keeps popping up in Blogland. Your placemats are brilliant.
Talk about talented grandchildren! No wonder you're a proud Nana. Congratulations to them both on their success.
It sounds like you've had a busy Summer. Maybe when Winter arrives you'll have more time to make some quilts?
You better get busy and get some quilting done, you may find it difficult to do this winter. I can see you building your stash with great finds in the south. Lucky you!!! Your Christmas matts are super.
