Lovin this HOT weather!!!!!

                                   Boy is it hot and not only in Mid Mo.!!!!  I really do enjoy the heat!!!

Well another month about gone and the next holiday will be 4th of July and then summer is half over, I just wish it lasted all year!!!

It's been busy here, we ares still trying to road trip every week and explore somewhere different.  This Thursday we are headed to Eureka Springs, AR for one night and spooking around town and then the next day we'll travel on to Bentonville to see the Crystal Bridges Gallery/Museum owned by one of the Walton girls, from Wallie World.  We'll meet Mary Kay and Marilyn, this will be  part of the celebration for Mom and Dad's 64th anniversary!!!!

And here are some new photos of grand daughter Devin with her Great Grandparents, she is an amazing child!!! as we all have amazing grandchildren!!!!

And last but not least.  I've been moving into a new natural dyeing phase, this is a take off on the India Flint eco dye idea.  As usual I have to do things my way or at least try.  I am still using my natural ideas but cooking in vinegar, plus I'm off on the rust dyeing.  Carolyn called to tell me to use gloves as the rust and our bodies do not mesh and it can cause serious illnesses, just what we all need!!!  These samples are old vintage linen napkins which I have been getting by the dozens for little or nothing, now what to make out of them, the wheels are turning!!!

I did a class in Warsaw and have not heard from the gals but we had a nice turn out and hopefully they got some great results.  More on the cooking method as I get more results to view.

                                          Our Holiday weekend has been going great!!!

  We went out with Brandon on his Carver last night to Shady Gators, what a hoot!!!  We  are of course some of the oldest folks there, what a zoo.  The best part is hangin over the railing watching all the boats dock, pretty funny in alot of cases, big fancy boats and very inexperienced captains!!!  Then there are the really big boats with the real captains on board, really something to view.  This is all a tad different from our Wisconsin Lakes, some of these boats are 50 to 70 feet long, with thrusters, captains and crew, 3 or more staterooms, gourmet kitchens, plasma tv's, the best of the best, costing in the millions, really something else!!!!   Tomorrow we'll fire up the smoker and do turkey, chicken and shrimp!!!!

                                                                       Have a good one!!!
