I'm about a month late

Hey sorry for lack of blogging, Likely I'll have to e-mail everyone that I am actually up and running a blog again!

Remember - Click on any of the pictures to see them bigger!!

Anyway, It's been a whirlwind around here. H. got news that the Army is calling him back. They had given us 5 weeks notice, but we asked for a delay and now he'll be leaving in November. Personally, I don't understand how they think anyone can go from civilian life to Army if you aren't expecting to be called back in - in 5 weeks. Anyway, I digress.

So there was a lot of stress going around and I didn't feel like blogging. But now that is over and while there has been a lot of work to do at work, and some overtime hours logged (which doesn't look like it will change anytime soon)... I'm back to blogging.

Have I knit much? Eh... off and on. I started several projects, decided I hated them halfway through and stalled out. I'm not on a wee bit of a sewing bender, we'll see how long that lasts and if it produces anything, as while I'd love to be a great sewer and learn how to make some summer skirts... I am a pretty poor sewer and my sewing machine makes me nervous. It is rather old and I have no manual.

Okay... but you didn't come here to hear me whining - you came here to see pictures of what I have been up to.

So here is the last month and a half in pictures!!

We went hiking to see the Bluebells...



We went Camping on Assateague Island...



We went to Chincoteaque Island and climbed a lighthouse...


We went to Harland's Cousin Jessica's Wedding...


And we went to the WWII airshow in Reading (this picture courtesy of John Leckfor - since I forgot my camera).


Plus various walks at Burke lake park and other areas around here. So that is that!

hi there! Looks like you have been enjoying your time with Harland.

Sewing summer skirts sounds like a great idea. I dream of someday doing the same. :)
