The Dress is Finished!

Well, I finished the wedding dress! I also sewed a blouse for Amber and finished a skirt for me. I think the clothing for the wedding is done! I will take pictures at the wedding so you can see how it all turned out.

4th of July

We had a great 4th of July. We relaxed in the morning (or in my case, I sewed on the wedding dress.)

Then we got together in the afternoon for entertainment such as games like water pictionary (drawing pictures on the driveway with a water bottle) and water balloon v0lleyball. The younger people also went ice blocking (sliding down the hill on a block of ice.) We had a great dinner of barbecued ribs and chicken, chips and dip, corn on the cob, watermelon, and root beer floats. We watched the fireworks over the fairgrounds from our usual place on the hill. It was a fun day.

Glen, Alex, and Eric are off to go backpacking in the Sawtooths. Glen sent me a picture on his cell phone when they got to Red Fish Lake.

Hope you enjoy the pictures of our celebration plus the pretty things in our yard. Notice the pink flower on the pea plant. I wonder if a sweet pea seed got mixed in with the other seeds. I think the pretty white flowers are syringa. They smell like orange blossoms.
