The big holiday weekend is over......

It was a nice holiday weekend for us...a mixture of fun times and relaxation. I already blogged about our time at the art show. That night, we went with some friends to sit on a pontoon boat one of them owns so we could watch the fireworks over the bay. We stayed tied to the dock...too many "drinkers" out on the water to take the boat out safely. We had snacks and drinks before it got dark and the fireworks started. Here are some photos of us. One of the guys is partially hidden in the photo.....guess he didn't pay attention when we said, "Look at the camera, Everybody!" You should be able to click on all the photos to enlarge them, if you wish.This next one shows the guy who owns the boat as he was taking a picture of the rest of us with his cell phone camera.
This shows some of the geese that were floating by us while we were on the boat. We counted and there were 53 of them....quite a large group. Guess they were partying for the 4th, too.Then...last night, we went to a nearby park for their Sunday night concert which was featuring a small Army Band from a reserve unit in northern Delaware. It looked like the concert would be rained out, but it wasn't. It was very fitting to end the holiday weekend with all that patriotic music. I did manage to get a little bit of sewing done a couple of days back. Remember the "beachy divas" fabric I got at the local quilt shop's recent anniversary sale? I decided the idea of a quilted bag was perfect for that....so I took two of the "gals" from the fabric and used one on each side of the bag. I think it will even be fun to take this bag to the grocery store....might put a smile on the cashier's face as she looks at the beachy gals instead of the usual boring, store-logo bags seen all day long there! I used it on the boat on Saturday night and also last night at the concert and got a couple of cute comments about it. Here are two photos of that bag.....one of each side....it holds a nice amount of "stuff"!
