Rollin on the River

We took the boat motor for a tune-up last week.  We took time yesterday to go and get it.  Michelle worked 6-2 at the living center, so she cruised with us.  BF Jared joined us later too.  This is the capitol building as seen from the Missouri River.  It was a gorgeous day on the water.  It has been a hot week of 100 degree days, but Sunday was 82 F with a light breeze.  The motor purrs now. 

The bridge divides Pierre and Ft. Pierre--also Central time from Mountain time. 

 

Rocco enjoys boating too.   We left the boat in Pierre.  Of course, now that it runs so well, DH wants to sell it.  There are a couple people interested in it.  DH already has another boat picked out.  We'll see it on Wednesday.  "Boys and their toys"--always need to be bigger and better.  We have had the pontoon 22 years.  It will be kind of hard to let it go--lots of memories.  :) 

The kittens are growing.  Their eyes are still closed.  Peanut allowed herself a trip outside the last 2 mornings for about 4 hours each time.  She must wear a watch.  lol  The babies just slept while she was gone.  I was feeling rather sorry for her.  She has always been such a hunter and loves to be outside.  It was strange to see her stay in the house doing nothing.  Puss has become more actively affectionate and sleeping on our bed at night with us again.   I'm sure she's wondering how long these new cats are staying. 

Rocco was such an active part of taking care of the 5 orphans last fall.  He doesn't have much to do with the new babies, but still loves his Peanut and misses her playtime.  I'm glad he has the kids outside to entertain him.  I'm glad you enjoyed the video.  It is like a circus watching them play.  I wish I could get a video of them chasing Rocco and him chasing them, but they all move too fast.  We laugh so hard.

I'm still working on my pinwheel sashings here and there.  I've just about got a flimsy!  I finished another block for the Bouquet BOM.

I just have the finishing blocks to do.  I'm so behind with every BOM.  I don't know what made me think I could do them all.  There is just so much talent and generous sharing in Blogland.  I really don't know how Jenny can come up with so many new designs and stitch them all AND move in the process.  She must be a wonderwoman.   I know she's a wonderful woman--always sharing her creativity.

I know I spend way too much time on the computer!  I also know I will have more time this winter to stitch.  It amazes me how quickly some people accomplish things tho.  I'm not sure I've had a finish this year--let alone two or three a month.  I'm too busy seeing what every one else is doing maybe.  BUT I love to see what you are doing too. 

Gotta run.  Looks like I have to run to town for some parts after lunch.  Have a great week.  Talk to you later.  Hugs..............
