At Least Finished

Just a little project, but at least finished!!!

You know I have trouble getting things finished
I have been working on this design for awhile
and decided to finish it even though it is
not exactly what I pictured.

Here is something else I finished,

a baby doll quilt and pillow.

Soon it will be living at Sophie's house.

Sleep Over

Sophia spent the night with me.

She still seems like a baby to me.

Especially at bath time......but then

sometimes she seems all grown up.

Like when she shows me what she has learned

at Cheer Leading Class.

It is hard to believe!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Weekend with the Grandkids

Well, we waited all weekend for this tooth to fall out

but it didn't. It fell out Monday morning and I missed it.

Sophie and I had a tea party.

So you ask where is Tiler??

He is trimming the front yard to make

and extra buck!!

I cannot believe he is this big/old to run and

electrical device that could hurt you!!

The First Day of my Weekend

My friend Toni and I decided life was too boring so we

went down the Verde River with 40 other people.

Not really my style, you know I like the NO PEOPLE PLACES!!

But it was so much fun!!!

It turned out to be a little more wild than

we expected, this was our first river.....

and it had rapids, A LOT OF RAPIDS!!!

Too bad I forgot my memory card at home

or I would have more good pictures...

or maybe not, I really didn't have time to take pictures.

This leg of the river was 10 miles,

we were so tired and we could not wait to get our hands on the Ibuprofen bottle.

The Second Day of My Weekend

I had not planned on kayaking on Sunday
because I thought I would be too tired from the river trip.
I was OK, so off I went!!

I first went to Woods Canyon Lake,

it was not far off the highway. There were so many

people there I thought I would not like it.

But... it was not bad, it was pretty big

for a northern lake.

Most of the people were on shore fishing and letting their kids

run a muck and make all kinds of noise. But some where

in boats since they rent them there.

These girls caught a fish and were happy to pose for

a picture. I witnessed a lot of fish being caught here.

I guess that is why the crowd.

If there is a quiet place I can always find it.

At the left end of the lake there were NO PEOPLE!!!

It was a hike on foot and the water was to shallow for most boats

so I was all alone.

It was pretty here but I had to move on,
I was pretty far from the camp and had more

stops to make.



Next I stopped at Bear Canyon Lake, a little
disappointing because you could not put your boat in.
You can only hike to it, only 1/4 of a mile
but down a step hill.

But coming to this lake was worth it.
I have only seen three Tarantulas in my
life, in the wild, and this one was a beauty!!




Knoll Lake

My third stop and it was getting late in the day so
I did not get to stay at this lake as long as I would have liked.
Since it is 20 miles on a dirt road not many people come here.


It was a beautiful lake with a large island in the middle.
I kayaked around the island and then had to go.
I was almost out of gas in the truck so I could not go
back the way I came. I used my map and took the
Rim Road (303) back to camp 24 more miles on
a dirt road, boy are we dirty, my kayak and me!!
That is another blog!!!
