Have you had fun this past week? I hope so! Since I last checked in with you, I am grateful to realize that I have had a lot of fun and want to share some of it with you in this post.
One: On July 4th we gathered with family and friends at a home on the Clackamas River close by to celebrate the birth of the USA. The kids had great fun in a little bouncy house, some went swimming, some played crochet, some played with various flying objects, there was yummy food and the evening ended with watching fireworks.
Two: On Wednesday Teresa and I drove up the Columbia River Gorge. We loved seeing the blue sky, wild flowers, and some sailboats that members of the youth Sailing Foundation had been racing. We had good hamburgers for lunch and were able to swim at the gorgeous Bonneville Spa pool for an hour.
Three: Mount Hood peeked out from under clouds as I drove around our area during the week. The first view is off of Highway 212 in the Damascus area. The second view is zoomed in from 302nd street near our home.
Four: It was very exciting to me to see our Holly Hock start to bloom this past week! The magenta blooms are so pretty and bouquets of Joseph's Coat roses are amazing. Our generous neighbor brought us lots of Marionberries! They are delicious!
Five: We are hosting a wedding at our house this Saturday and I have been experimenting making napkin rings with Martha Stewart Glitter Eyelash, just single crocheting around rings. One of the ladies in my Wednesday morning stitching group showed me a sock she is making on 9inch circular needles...another project I want to try :) She also uses size 3 knitting needles to knit dish/wash cloths with size 3 HH Lizbeth cotton thread and I have started one.
I am also having fun joining in with Amy's Love Made My Home blog Link up and visiting bloggers from around the world.
What have you been doing for fun?
