Out with the old...in with the New

Here is y sewing machine I have had for sooo many years! I think I got it when I was 16 or 17 and it was a hand me down then. Well I have babied this poor machine and every year it seems like I have to get it fixed! I couldn't take it any longer this year. I had just finished my 3rd quilt and I was starting on girls camp quilts and I didn't have time to deal with this fossil! I made a decisionand went and found me a new sewing machine!
Here is my new machine! I love it! I'm sure my husband and family are tired of it because It is out in the family room, and I'm helping sew LOTs of quilts with the Young Women. We have 13 days left before camp! Not many are done! Mine is! I do love my new machine! It is the small things in life.

4th of July

We moved into our home on Bel Air 7 years ago, it is really hard to believe! One of the best things about our home is that we can take our chairs out on the lawn and watch the fireworks in the front yard from the Mesa Country Club. It has been so much fun. We have people stop by and bring thier chairs or blankets and watch them with us. Everyone is welome. Our family seemed to be spread out and about this year. This last 4th I spent up in Pima, Arizona with Kami and Steven so I could pick up Leslie from EFY at 7:00 am on the 5th. Darryl and Madison were home with all the fun people that come by. They had a special treat this year to have the missionaies over and a young girl to have a missionary discussion. Darryl said it was great! Craig was way far away in Brazil! No Independance Day for them on the 4th! I enjoyed being with Kami and Steven and watching the fireworks in Thatcher. I did miss my tradition of being on the front lawn. Next year maybe we will all be together.
