Time flies. The first 6 photos are even still from May. I needed to "show off" my pretty clematis and the hawk we spied from our bedroom early one morning.
I am very proud of my rhubarb harvest. James enjoyed his dessert very much.
And when we were invited to Wade and Sarah, Stella was very happy.
This photo I took at the last of 4 meetings. I had been asked by two ladies to teach them how to make bobbinlace. I had been very reluctant but agreed to teach the beginning and to give them plenty of info so they have their "foot in the door". I must say that I enjoyed it because they were so excited about what they learned. What I did not enjoy so much is that I had a hard time to find my lessons which I had developed many years ago. I like to teach by making small projects in the different techniques.
One thing the ladies wanted to do were the snake, a bookmark. And that came handy when our boys were out of school for the summer. First week of June Caleb had his daily goaly camp again. On days like that we usually pick them up when Sarah arrives at her work and then drop Caleb off at the camp. Ha-ha, with all the lace stuff still laying around at our house, Caleb and Owen decided to make a snake it too.
And they were both very good. They selected their colors and were eager to learn.
Every day was different. Tuesday lunch was outside and I had used the alphabet noodles Helen had given me for them. Of course we had to find the letters for our names. No picture of Owen because he ate his name right after assembling it.
The day the twins had plans with some friends, Caleb spend the night before with us so he didn't have to get up so early to leave house with his Mom. When our friends Martha and Jerry called because they wanted to go for dinner to a burger place in Ashland, he said that he would like that. Their place was on the way so we picked them up. It was nice and when we brought them home again, Caleb got a treat. He asked whether he could see the Miata, their antique car.
He got lucky and even got a ride. (Thank you, Jerry!)
Thursday 6/5 we wondered what to do in the afternoon and suggested either bowling or mini golf. The latter won the boys' vote. Google directed us to the Hanover Sports Park and it was a lot of fun too.
Afterwards we tried to play a board game but there are too many rules about this game with lots of different names around and we could not quite agree. Still, we had a good day and a good week all around.
