I noticed that you mentioned knitting for charity which is something I do also. I'm wondering what charities (in particular international) you knit for. Thanks!

I can't believe how big Piper is. She changes with every visit. Her hair is so long and her face is looking more grown up. And she looks adorable in that apron. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the lake. It is still as hot as Hades here.<br />Sending you a hug,<br />MeredithMereknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04596140300034854370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-37654845869045940582015-09-04T16:47:49.701-05:002015-09-04T16:47:49.701-05:00Oh, that picture of Piper in the airport with her ...Oh, that picture of Piper in the airport with her little tired eyes....so sweet. It's odd because I have been wanting to know about the fires and there hasn't been anything on the news about it so I assumed they were out by now. 7 miles isn't very far from you! <br /> I've been praying for the refugees that are fleeing Syria and such struggles they are going through. There aren't enough hours in the day to cover all the ongoing struggles in our world. Worrying or being sad about them does nothing to help them though so I pray and go on with my day and am happy in each moment. If there is anything I can personally do God has promised to let me know. Iceland has opened their hearts and their country and the Hungarian people in disagreement with their government have gone out to the refugees passing by and given them food and supplies as they walk by. There is still goodness and mercy in the hearts of many! That is prayers answered for sure!<br />Enjoy your weekend at the lake and what a generous soul to give you your beautiful flowers and food and your hubby too! I still want to see your handwork! LOL!

I think she was awesome to have sat for all those hours on a plane. I am glad you were able to get back to the lake, I know that is your happy place.

I know that when we visit out in-laws, who live abroad, it is very upsetting when it is time to leave, for them and for us.<br /><br />Hoping and praying that your health will continue to improve, with some sunny late summer/early autumn days to cheer you. <br /><br />And happy Anniversary - we celebrated our 27th this Feb - where do the years go?!<br /><br />Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend, hope the weather is kind.<br /><br />Helenxx<br /><br />PS thanks for all your recent comments, we do watch Indycar on the internet quite regularly and sometimes NASCAR as well when we can :)<br />moonstruckcreationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00085978299766605788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-55817123669227331212015-09-03T22:08:23.892-05:002015-09-03T22:08:23.892-05:00It is so good to see blue skies near you again, Be...It is so good to see blue skies near you again, Betsy!
