Slow Sunday Stitching

 Another busy week has gone by.   Granddaughter Kyleigh and Jeff made it back to Boston, with stops at Yellowstone and Mount Rushmore along the way.  They did get to see a buffalo this time around.  

I drove Kristen to the airport on Thursday, where she joined them to help Kyleigh moving into her dorm.  Meanwhile I am providing Keaton with meals, and giving him rides home from school after water polo.  

Keaton and I went out to the Farmer's Market and swap meet this morning.  I was able to find my special ingredient herbs for my potato salad.  I have not been out there in a number of years, but was running out of my special ingredient.  They had two rows of vintage cars which we enjoyed looking at.  I had hoped to eat at a favorite Mexican restaurant I used to enjoy, but apparently they aren't there anymore.  

Sunday night I plan to make a seafood chowder and focaccia bread for Keaton and I.  

This week I was able to get my tea towel finished, and I have been working on a couple of secret projects by hand.  

For Slow Sunday Stitching this week, I will continue working on my secret projects.  I will be linking up with Slow Sunday Stitching at Kathy's Quilts.  Head on over and see what everyone has been up to.

This week I picked my three sunflowers I had grown from seed.  The big ones are 7 inches across.  

In this part of my garden I have these two Amaranth plants growing out of my bricks.  The little pot to the left has my morning glories I got blossoms on this week, growing them from seed.  Off to the right of the large Amaranth, I have a miniature lemon tree that is about 2 feet tall, but is chock full of lemons!  Hard to believe.  

This week I made a small move of a side table from out in the other room, to right where I sit and stitch.  John built this for me long ago, it has a nice large surface, and is solid oak.  It also houses all my bead collection in the drawers.  It makes me happy to have moved it, and my stuff isn't falling off the table all the time.  Yes we have a lot of movies.  John liked to collect them.  This whole 10 foot wall is lined with movies behind the sofa, going up to the ceiling.  

Daughter Katie told me about Cinderella which is now showing on Amazon Prime if you get that.  Cinderella is one of my favorite fairy tales.  And it is free with Prime.  

I am really enjoying this musical.  It has contemporary music.  So far I have heard Perfect, Material Girls, and a tune by Queen.  

Last week Kristen, Keaton and I rented the musical In the Heights, and it was also very good.  We love musicals!  

That's all for this week.  Thanks for stopping by!
