Return of the Prodigal Dog

My SIL sent me a FaceBook message that someone saw a dog in a local animal shelter, turned in on the very same day ours went missing. From our area too. So DH and DS Jake went to get him. He's got a microchip now, but hopefully he won't take off again!

See how happy he is to be back!

We've Only Just Begun...

To make hay...not sure how many acres they've gotten done, with all the rain they are late getting into the fields. These pictures show my oldest son's farm.
Now only about 2,000 more acres to go...and that's only first cutting...

Here goes Jake heading out to make more hay. This picture is really bad but when they're heading out to make hay, there's no stopping for photo shoots!

Quilting Game

I've not seen too many games about quilting but Big Fish Games has just released this one...

They have a game club which will get you the games cheaper. One thing I'm kind of addicted to is computer games! The hidden object games are fun too...a good way to unwind, if you turn off the timer in the games that is!

Quilt Along blocks

A few of my Quilt Along blocks from Old Red Barn Quilt Along(See the side bar for the link). I'm getting further behind...I still have strip sets to do and then cut those blocks, then sew the blocks together, then get the backing fabric and batting together...I'd better get busy!

RUNNOFT!

Our dog(actually our son's dog)went missing June 10th, the butthead! He can't be blamed however, the guys let him loose in the morning and got busy and next thing you know, he's gone. I put signs up in the local stores but since he's a chocolate lab, he's probably someone else's pet by now. He's about 8 months old and just not that smart or I think he'd find his way home by now. I just got done watching O Brother Where Art Thou? so that explains the title. It's one of my favorite movies.

Johnny Cash Computer

I've got a Johnny Cash computer-One Piece at a Time...in the last couple of months, I've replaced most of my computer setup...keyboard, printer, monitor and now the tower is acting up...So I've got a Microsoft keyboard, Canon printer, HP monitor and now the Gateway tower is acting up. I think it's the video card but what do I know?! I replaced what was probably a perfectly good monitor because one day it looked like this and wouldn't go away...

Kinda pretty but not very useful! (and how many weird people other than myself would even take a picture of this?!). So now I've got to decide whether to replace the tower or just the video card..Johnny would be proud!

My DSL 'thingey' quit...two whole days of no internet! I'm still trying to recover, funny how much we depend on it!

I tried to get some work done while I could so I managed to finish my mom's purse. Her birthday is tomorrow!

Now I'm working on the Quilt-Along from the Old Red Barn bloghttp://oldredbarnco.blogspot.com/ . I really would love to win that machine!

The "Put Away The Camera" Look

I get this look a lot. Because I usually have a camera in my hand.

We went fishing the last two Sundays...I use the term 'we' very loosely! I don't fish...I take a book and try to read but end up half asleep. Which is hard to do when you only have a little seat to sit in. Dozing is not an option. I don't want to end up falling in.

Back to the camera face...

Once in a while, I do get this...

He got the truck...first thing he did was take the "Pap Cap" off!(his term, not mine!)
