June Catch Up

I'm astonished to discover it has been a month since I last blogged! Life as a retired couple is busier than I'd anticipated.

We had the opportunity to go down to Cape May for a couple of days. We didn't do a whole lot -- drove out to Sunset Beach one day, had dinner with friends one night, and dinner at Joe's favorite place the other night.

The restaurant, Louisa's, is a place we've gone to for about forty years. It is understated and delicious. On this visit I decided to forego the fish and try the pasta -- it was lovely with crushed tomatoes and feta and topped with parslied bread crumbs. 

This is a picture of the flower arrangement at Louisa's. I thought it was lovely

Our grandchildren are getting so big! I remember that Sam was just a little baby when I first started this blog and now he is learning to drive, looking for a part-time job, and ready to enter his junior year in high school.

Caroline has studied dance for eleven years and now is in the pointe class.

Eli and Miles live for soccer; there is little more to say there. They are handsome and bright and pleasant -- everything one could want.

Tom drove up with Nate and Aberdeen for a short weekend. We all attended Caroline's recital and they went downtown to the Harry Potter exhibit at the Franklin Institute. N & A are both smart and very creative. It had been three years since they were last here.

Lizzy got her summer haircut. So did I.

I've been hand-piecing another Halo quilt in front of the television in the evenings and I am just four blocks from finished. Then I'll assemble the top by machine. I think I know what my next handwork project will be. 

And that's what's what, Near Philadelphia.
