what???? it's August already!!!

"Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin' into the future".  Yep, the songwriter got that one right.  But that's part of life, the days slipping on by.

Robert had a birthday yesterday, so I went over and watched the kids while he and Angela went out to dinner.  Those 38 years seem to be a blink of the eye.  Now we're blinking and his kids are growing!  Here's birthday boy with his kiddos.

I got to meet my 2010 secret sister and her husband, Audrey and Chris.  They live in Kentucky, and came through my area on the way west.  We had a good visit, and I fixed them some tacos for lunch, as well as some chocolate chip cookies for the road.   Such a treat to meet them, and one of these days I hope to make it to Kentucky and see them on their home turf.   Here's Quilty Gal and her hubby.

Haven't got any quilt projects to show this month, but trust me, something's in the works.  One of these days I'll be able to show it, but for now it's "sh-h-h-h-h-h".  There's a challenge going on over on the HGTV message boards, and the vote on all entries (anonymous) will be mid-October.  Wish me luck!

Take it easy everyone, and stay out of the heat.  And if it means going to Alaska to keep cool, well, do what you gotta do!
