To fill one's heart...

With memories is always a treasure and this Fourth of July was no exception. We started the day at the pool...no you will never see those pictures. And after a couple of hours, headed to the grandgirls' home. They both assured me they will never be too old for holiday goodies...

Or socks that come in the gift. Why the sad face? "Isn't there any more fireworks?" Being eight can be rough even on holidays.
Dinner was not formal by any means, however according to the youngest grandgirl, we did need an invitation to actually get dinner!



After dinner we loaded the car with blankets, popcorn, playing cards and Papa. After 30 years of Papa working on holidays, we were excited to have him join us...

For beautiful fireworks!
Don't you just love a heart full of memories?

It sounds like such a fun time! I have many fond memories, as do my kids, of going to see the fireworks with family. Memories of my dad taking us when we were kids, and then my kids loved it when their favorite uncle tagged along with us. I love the dinner invites!

Bowled over...

With the thought anyone would stitch a design over and over...let alone seven times!  This is not my stitching and I normally don't share the stitching of others.  Although, I did finish the witch seven times.  No, I won't stitch a bowl of wee witches, but I would stitch more than one if I knew who the designer was. Do you stitch a design more than once?

Ending and beginning. . .

Each new year fills my heart with reflections on the old and expectations for the new.  While taking down the tree this morning, thoughts of  "Will I always put up a tree?" came to mind.  How could I not?  Each ornament has its own story to tell. Even Annie was a little sad to see the tree go. . . However, starting the new year stitching was a perfect way to bring in 2012.  Thank you Beth ( Heartstring Samplery ) for providing this lovely little chart .  Will you make new memories and remember the old?
