Very 1st girls camping trip

Back in the mid 90's, I met a group of gals while working for the state, that would be great friends for years to come. This weekend was our maiden voyage. We went to the Lake of the Ozarks State Park for our first all girls camping trip. We had such a wonderful time and many laughs.
My friend, Kathie, had a truck bed camper and I pulled the Sunnybrook. We had a chance of rain and storms but the weather was perfect. Not too hot and afternoon shower but the clouds cleared off and the sun came back out. The nights were cool enough for us to enjoy the fire. We had great food and great conversations. Looking forward to going on our next trip.

Rooster Creek Quilt Show 2018

My local quilt store, Rooster Creek, had a quilt show this weekend. I got a chance to go and shop the vendors and look at the beautiful quilts today. I loved so many, it was hard to chose which ones to vote on. I didn't get a chance to see the vintage quilts, as there were classes going on where they were. I had a hair appointment today so I was in a bit of a rush. But here are some of the beautiful quilts I saw this morning.

Sunday with my grandson

Today my grandson and I decided to go to the Nature Center and take a steamy walk. Why, I am not quite sure because it was over 90 degrees. But we have a nice walk, found a JC Rock, got snow cones, a little bike/peddle car riding and then back in the little pool.

I dared him to eat a persimmon

JC Rocks found on the trail at Runge Nature Center

We left it there for someone else to find

Happy Independence Day 2018

July has been as hot as a firecracker so far. I am thankful for the little pool i purchased in May. I have gotten a lot of use out of it including the 4th. We entertained some friends & their son, barbequed & shot off fireworks.  I have my grandson while ny daughter is away. We all had fun.
