Lots to Love About August

Friday, I will be heading out to set up for

Molly Mo’s Antique Faire

which will start at 8am Saturday morning.

.

 

The first weekend of August was spent at Terri Brush’s Art Camp.  Both my sisters and

niece Krissi from Texas

enjoyed being together, creating jewelry and making new friends,

Terry and Karen.

And catching up with old friends.

We frosted cupcakes and used some of the local berries for garnish.

And there was even a tiny little singing frog…

The second weekend was a quick trip to Yakima.

We love our annual trek for the

Clayson Farm Antique Sale

Gotta love the barn that Leslee and Mark moved to their property a couple of years ago.

We had to leave before dark.

Sam was headed to summer camp for the first time…

I was afraid he would call us, homesick begging us to come get him.

  I knew I would have to hid the car keys to keep Dave from going for him…

I was wrong…

no call.

What do empty nester’s do?

When they are feeling a little lonely?? Wishing for a phone call…

Works for me…

Must be why they call it Happy Hour??

The very best part of August has to be that it is both my sister’s birthday.
