I know, it's been a while!!!

Okay, okay, we've been pretty busy these last few months. Back in May, we finished up all our floors, and man, does it look nice! Drew and I are so happy they are done! Well, until we finish up the connectors or whatever you call it. And next we have to do the floors in the kitchen, washroom and the two baths.
Then at the end of May, we traveled up to Lehi, Utah to visit with Wendy's oldest son, Sean and his family. It was both Allyssa's and Sean's birthday that last weekend, so we traveled there for that.
We also had two grandsons graduating high school this year, and they were Keedan Ainsworth right here in Cortez, Colorado and Arron Horn out of Palm Desert, California. Keedan has since left for Texas where he plans to work, find an apartment and work his way into Texas A&M. While Arron finally moved out of his mom's place to live with his dad, as it is closer to his work, and he plans to attend the Harley Davidson Vocational College in the Phoenix area as soon as he can get the paperwork started.
May 23rd was also our 20th Anniversary and it's hard to believe sometimes that we've been married that long! It seems like only yesterday, that is until we take into account how our bodies have failed us! Man, it's the pits getting old! lol Our present to ourselves was to go out to dinner down in Farmington, NM at the Red Lobster...something we've done almost every year since we moved here, and secondly, we treated ourselves to a brand new mattress. We can't remember the last time we bought one! We really needed it!
I'm covering a lot of months since it's been a while since I kept this blog up, so bear with me!
June brought me attending a 3-day quilt retreat here in Cortez, and had a blast! I was able to piece together a Memory Quilt for a favorite cousin of one of our dil's, Emily White, who was going thru some major health problems. Emily sent me about 5 pieces of fabric in her chosen colors to work with, and not being a quilter, she doesn't know that 5 is not enough for a quilter! (grin) I had to go out and buy more and then I added photos to the quilt that she sent. This quilt is meant for her cousin's wife and daughter, so it was made with a lot of love. The other quilters at the retreat helped me with the placement of the blocks and photos. I was so honored to piece and quilt it. Thank you Emily for that opportunity to give a gift of love.
Then the 2nd weekend in June, we traveled to California to attend Drew's oldest daughter's graduation from Loma Linda University with a degree in Nursing. Man, that was certainly a ceremony to be proud of. Congradulations Jamie! Way to go!
Also, during the month, we had some birthdays for two granddaughters. Happy Birthday Micaela Bainum and Kara White.
Grandkid birthdays for July were Arron Horn and Caitlin White, while there were also birthdays for Drew's daughter Desiree Fire, and Wendy's mom Gay McClellen and sister, Brenda Ylvisaker had birthdays.
July also brought the end for Wendy of months of harried quilting...as the Dolores Mountain Quilters had their quilt show. Phew! It turned out really nice, and we lucked out with Wendy's youngest son, Scott White and his wife, Clarita, and kids, Sebastian and Camila visiting for a week. Sebastian was also the one to pick the winning ticket for the Raffle Quilt at the show! He was also pictured in the paper when he did so. Man, what a ham!
Now, we come to August, but I think I'll start a new blog, so this one is complete, I think. Hmmm, I think, therefore, I am? Gads, I don't know...
