I love that first runner - it is wonderful. I like ALL the runners - even the exuberant one.

A couple of years after that my husband said that he hoped when our daughter grew up and flew the coop I would never stop with the decorating because he looked forward to it and liked it so much. How could I not keep decorating now??<br /><br />Jenn - The same to you! I hope you didn't eat too many hot dogs as I did . . . oooof.<br /><br />wisps of words - Hope you had a lovely holiday, too. Last night was our first night that the temp remained too high and we were both up prowling around at midnight. We don't have AC but got the big exhaust fan going in the attached garage, opened the proper doors and windows and that did the trick. Heavenly!<br /><br />Kristina - With all your husband's overtime lately one would think you'd be rich! (Ha, ha, why doesn't it work that way?) It's okay not to have a big celebration on the 4th. Being with those near and dear to you is most important.<br /><br />Rain - Now they come down tomorrow and full-blown summer decorations go up. Our weather seems to be full-blown summer now, too!<br /><br />Elizabeth - Aw, thanks for the kind words. Sometimes I think our plants and gardens are like newborn babies. You can't leave them alone or not pay attention to them or it all goes wrong. We need rain badly right now and if the forecasted precipitation doesn't happen tonight, I'll be watering with the hose tomorrow!<br /><br />Lynne - With our own handwork, we know every little, itty-bitty thing that isn't perfect (ha, I've given up on that!) and I think we have an idea in our minds when we start to create and if the final product doesn't look like that, we're disappointed. I read somewhere that if don't fail at least 50% of the time when we're creating, we're not learning or improving. Well, I've got my 50% covered! :o]<br /><br />Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-44869775775229919562019-07-04T13:40:36.887-05:002019-07-04T13:40:36.887-05:00Love your Quilted runners, They came out good.

I even had to turn on the A/C last night, for a while. But got up later, and turned it off, and opened windows.<br /><br />I hate to use A/C, more than is really needed. I hate to have to get all closed up, in nice weather. And why use more energy, than is really necessary?<br /><br />Happy 4th of July to you!!!!!<br /><br />✨✨✨✨wisps of wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995057494013633705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-26585129984008740212019-07-04T06:00:33.511-05:002019-07-04T06:00:33.511-05:00Happy fourth of July to you! -JennHappy fourth of July to you! -Jenncoffeeontheporchwithmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17618627688821849806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-23312761453302050242019-07-03T19:56:10.011-05:002019-07-03T19:56:10.011-05:00Sigh; so festive.
