vacation at last

yesterday was the first day of my first vacation this summer. working from home, i never really take a whole week off. it's hard to do that, but i do manage to work alot of part-time days, so i don't usually complain.

but, there is something about getting away for an extended period of time. so tomorrow, my 2 art girls Lou and Cass and i will head for the woods of northern minnesota. no computer will be allowed on my end, although the other girls have laptops, so maybe i will peek at email. maybe. or maybe not.


anyway, the weekend has been relaxing, knowing i am done for awhile. yesterday we spent the evening with phillip's aunt and uncle from cedar rapids. they have a really cool new rv that they are taking on its maiden voyage out to the hills. thank goodness sioux falls is a pit stop for rapid city, we get alot of guests that way :)

they are delightful. phillip hadn't seen them in a LONG long time, and we enjoyed catching up. oh. and rosie the dog wanted to take phillip home :)

in other news, i think i found THE fabric for the bathroom. i was wandering thru the fabric store yesterday waiting for something to catch my eye. i am going to make a laundry bag that will fit on the hook at the back of the door, so that errant dirty clothing will have no excuse for hitting the floor :)

anyway, i got it home and i LOVE how it goes. i am thinking maybe a shower curtain in this might be nice, what do you think?

in still OTHER and possibly more important news, the tomatoes are here. this is a cherry tomato on the sweet 100 plant (which actually produces 1000's) but for now, it will make do. ahhhhhhhhh. gotta love summer.

happy week everybody!

How do you DO that? I love that fabric (totally rooting for the shower curtain) but would have never thought that it would work. I have got to learn to SEE things..

Happy vacationing! You'll be missed.
