Retreat Pictures

Hello Everyone,

I have so many pictures from my retreat to share with you.  The show and tell time that we have after dinner is always "over the top" gorgeous! The amount of talent in the room is incredible. Enjoy the show!

Row-Mancing Alaska in 2 color-ways.

Cute as a Button

Sue traveled from Michigan and didn't have room for this beauty in her suitcase.

Here are some of the quilters who are responsible for the mini quilt show.  Penni made the little dolls for her housemates.

The retreat gave the chance for these coast-to-coast friends to get together.

California and much of the West Coast is in the grip of a record-breaking heatwave, or heatstorm as it is being called.  We don't have air conditioning at the cabin, so it has been getting pretty toasty here during the day even though we keep it closed up with the fans going.  Last night it was just too hot inside, so we headed up to Lake Alpine for dinner.  We love going there for dinner because Mazey is welcome to sit at our table on their deck.

We were treated to a booming thunderstorm as we went for a stroll around the lake.  We could see it brewing right overhead, then the wind picked up.

Mazey hasn't been going for too many walks lately because it has been way too hot for her little paws.

We returned to the car just as the heavens opened up and drenched the parched earth.  We could almost hear the trees sighing with relief.

We sighed with relief too as the temps dropped into the 70's.  When we got back to the cabin, we were back into the mid 90's.  The high for the day was 101 in Arnold.

Another scorcher is on tap for today.  I will be in the pool for laps and water aerobics this morning.  I should just spend the entire day in the water to get relief from the heat.

Every day I rinse out my swimming suit and hang it up outside.  Sometimes I forget to bring it inside before bedtime.  In the morning I have to shake it out really well because we have bats......lots of bats.  I'm always afraid when I put my suit on in the morning that I'm going to be sharing my suit with the bats.  Mr. Joe always said I had bats in my belfry!

Soon,

Lynn
