Book giveaway

I won the book "Whiter Than Snow"  by Sandra Dallas from Sharon's giveaway on her blog.   Thank you Sharon!!  It was a very nice summer read.  It's the kind of book you wish were longer, because you enjoy the characters so much.  If you would like to read the book, please leave a comment.  I will draw a name on Monday, August 2nd and send you the book to read. 

I can't believe how fast last week went! It rained on Friday night, so we spent Saturday and Sunday at the river.  Michelle had the week-end off.  The weather was beautiful too--strange for a week-end.  The fishing was a fizzle, but I read my book and relaxed.

This photo shows the only sewing I did last week.  We sold our pontoon and bought a different boat.  The front canopy on the boat needed to be repaired and reinforced.  I used my older Bernina machine.  It took almost a whole spool of thread by the time I was done. 

DH parked the boat by the deck for easier loading and unloading.  The kittens think we bought them a new jungle gym.

We have been making hay--more big bales for winter feeding.  Today the combiners are coming to try harvesting our oats field.  We hope it is dry enough to get it done as rain is predicted for later in the week.

I picked my first zucchini.  The little bit of garden I got planted is really growing.  Hopefully the season will be long enough to produce ripe tomatoes.  The plants sure look nice right now.

I have been traveling a lot for parts lately.  I really enjoyed the parts run yesterday, because DH didn't need me to come home immediately.  Michelle had the day off.  We met for lunch at a wonderful Mexican restaurant--not a favorite food of DH, so it was a treat.  We then went to the mall for pedicures.  I haven't had one for over a year.  What a luxury!  I had a gift certificate from my little brother and his wife to use.  I love the massage part of the pedi.  The technician even painted little flowers on my big toes.  Now I can wear my sandals with pride.  lol

We shopped for a dress for Michelle.  She has a wedding to attend on Friday night.  We also bought a baby gift together for a shower later in August.  It was so nice to spend time with her.  School will start the end of August, so she will be super busy with work and studies.
