Second Sunday in August

"His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse,

nor his delight in the legs of a man;

the Lord delights in those who fear Him,

who put their hope in his unfailing love."

Psalm 147:10, 11

"Love must be sincere.

Hate what is evil;

Cling to what is good.

Be devoted to one another in brotherly love.

Honor one another above yourselves."

Really Random Thursday: A Really Hot Week!

I'm linking up with Cindy at Live a Colorful Life to bring you all a really random post of some really random stuff totally unrelated to the subject of quilting, which is what this blog is supposed to be about. I always look forward to Cindy's Thursday posts...now that she's started a linky party, there will be even more fun to enjoy! Here's my random week...

Ugly twin bed purchased at a used furniture store....(have you ever wondered why this size bed is called a "twin"? I bought two, but sometimes people only have one. I guess then it's called a "single". ) Anyway....here's the twin before...

And the twin after.....  I love white paint!

After many weeks of anticipation and waiting and wondering and phone calling,

 a package was finally delivered to my door....

Inside: Tutto rolling sewing machine suitcases, one for Linda and one for me. They were ordered from a booth during the Quilt Market in Kansas City last  May...

I was expecting them both to be turquoise, but I guess my wires got crossed somewhere along the line and I apparently had ordered orange for me.

 Oh well, it will be easy to spot.

It's been really hot. Did you hear? 

If it weren't for the info on the side of this container...

I'd be switching from iced tea to this....

Fabulous!

It's so dry out that my grass reminds me of chow mein noodles...

looks the same and makes the same crunching sound when stepped on!

To stay cool, my grand daughters (whose birthdays are a few weeks apart)

enjoyed an indoor luau birthday party over the weekend.

Their daddy forgot to tell the rest of us to wear authentic attire...

 The cake and decorations were all bright and cheery 

with lots of pink flamingos ...

 A good time was had by all.
