Fun photos.....

Here are some photos from when my friend was visiting. She left yesterday morning. Now I need to prepare for the arrival of my 6-year-old granddaughter this weekend and she might be here for a little over 2 weeks. I better charge up my "batteries" so I can keep up with her for that long!!!

Rhea tried the GO cutter and was amazed by it. She doesn't quilt or sew but I think if she lived nearby and got to use this enough, she WOULD take up quilting.
We went to breakfast at a nice place near here on the Indian River Bay. This is Rhea with me after breakfast.And this is Rhea with my husband, Gary. We went to 4 very nice restaurants during her 5 days here. She loved all of them!Sunday night our friends, Linda and Jim, were kind enough to take us for a sunset cruise on their pontoon boat (on Indian River Bay). Here are Linda, Rhea, and me. It was a very nice evening and a beautiful sunset, as you can see!It had been 4 years since Rhea visited us, so we really had a nice time while she was here and we hope she comes back again soon.

The picture of the sunset is sooo nice. Calm ans relaxing. We never think to just take a nice ride like that, usually it goes out for fishing and thats all. Rhea looks good, sorry I missed seeing her

I'm guessing my gang will love turning the handle of the GO! too. I bet if your friend lived close you would have her a quilting pro as yourself in no time! Fun times spent and fond memories made.
Oh Pat...you do have a busy and tiring time ahead...enjoy.
