It is a gross 84 degrees out today. I am not ready for hot, humid weather. I'd like a few more days in the 60's.

I am glad you got to make a trip to the trailer. Piper's sweater is looking so pretty! Don't you just love it when you can make your flowers last a long time. Bob gets me one rose now and then and I try to make it last as long as possible. Stay well!

It has been in the high 70's this past week and no rain here for the last two weeks so I am having a hard time believing it is still winter :-) Your current stitching projects are wonderful, and I am so glad you are enjoying happy times with your family and friends. Blessings, dear Betsy! We are watching the Olympic opening ceremony now...a lot of snow over there! xxGracie Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499163425742659172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-25654482330096924362018-02-09T16:19:59.111-06:002018-02-09T16:19:59.111-06:00Hello Betsy!

Our snow is really melting here too, it is just amazing to see. I enjoyed your pictures of the lake and of your camper. I bet you can't wait to get back out there to enjoy being at the lake! You are making a gorgeous little project for Piper, and I think it is so special that she got to pick out the colors and patterns while talking to you on the phone/ipad! Technology is pretty amazing! I just love hearing about all your industrious projects. How special that Alicia and her family will be settling in close to you! Their new place looks amazing, and I've seen Mt. Spokane lit up at night, and it is spectacular to see! So exciting for them indeed! Take care dear friend, it is always wonderful catching up with you :) Marilyn @ MountainTopSpicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00600290895531484438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-74000120802686364902018-02-09T13:22:25.706-06:002018-02-09T13:22:25.706-06:00Oh, that is just so sweet how you will get to have...Oh, that is just so sweet how you will get to have your precious friends near you! It looks like their view will be amazing from their new home. I just love the beautiful creation you are making for little Miss Piper, and how wonderful that you can communicate with her and feel that she is almost there with you! It is always such a joy and blessing to visit with you, sweet friend.

I always think of you when I see camper things. I hope one day our kids will move back here. I really have to help poor Fireman. Al's thinking of going to school in North carolina and it broke his heart to hear it last night. We both wish she'd move closer. but we WONT say that. SOMEDAY I know they'll come back or we will move closer. IT bothers him so much. I delight in hearing your family news and their new home seems like it is magical.

Randy agreed to wear a tux in our wedding if he could wear cowboy boots. Can you believe these are the same ones he wears on Sundays still, 38 years later.<br /><br />That cardigan is lovely. I would love to make it for Genevieve, but she requested no more "coat" sweaters, meaning cardigans. Just tunics and pull-on sweaters, I guess. <br /><br />I hope you have a wonderful week.<br />Blessing to you and HUGS<br />Kim<br />Reading, Writing and so much morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08697424891180318022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-55253785566778904052018-02-08T00:07:53.143-06:002018-02-08T00:07:53.143-06:00Hi dear sweet sis, so enjoyed your chatty warm lov...Hi dear sweet sis, so enjoyed your chatty warm loving blog post today... all details enjoyed as we walked through with you on your days at home, lake and in mountains at new abode.<br />Love Miss Pipers new smocked outfit and I'm praying with you it will be a perfect fit.<br />I was out today in our summery sunshine having some sweet fellowship with our dear sisters in Lord (one is a missionary to Rwanda).

Although I can see why you would like it gone and be able to stay there once again. I loved your comment about Dennis and how you still loved his look in denim jeans and boots, just how it should be and not TMI at all. We are so blessed with technology enabling us to keep in touch with family, how lovely to spend so much time chatting to Miss Piper. Looking forward to seeing the cardigan.mamasmercantilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14011278973985658118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-45575824647781628982018-02-07T14:28:01.714-06:002018-02-07T14:28:01.714-06:00That sweater for Piper is just darling!

It will be so nice to get right back into using it when spring comes. Jeremy and Alicia's plans sound very exciting. I'm so glad they and their children have you. It sounds like you're very special and important to all of them. I often wish my kids had adopted grandparents who are devoted as you are to those boys. My kids' real grandparents aren't very involved for various reasons, but we try to make up for that where we can. I plan to do a much better job when they have children. The sweater you're knitting for Piper is going to be beautiful. I really love the color. I'm so happy to know you spend all that time chatting with her, it's wonderful for both of you. I hope you're having a good week, Betsy. :)Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-26131957946859131672018-02-07T12:39:10.052-06:002018-02-07T12:39:10.052-06:00I enjoyed your post full of news and all that is g...I enjoyed your post full of news and all that is going on in your life.
