My husband and kids planted four peach trees last year. One of them died pretty quickly, which left three (for those who may need a little mathematical assistance). This year, all three trees bloomed…but after a couple of brutally windy days, all of their blossoms blew away…except ONE. And behold, I bring you our “One Peach Wonder”:
Biggest question is…who will get to eat it?!
Over the weekend, my husband and three younger kids went to help pack up and move our eldest daughter home for the summer from her college dorm room. As I got my lunch prepared, I went to get a glass of milk for my lunch.
Yeah…this is how much milk my kids left me:
Now, I vaguely remember my aunt getting frustrated with me a few times in my youth. The reason why? Because I’d leave about this much milk in a jug or would not take the time to replace the toilet paper roll in my bathroom. I’d just pull out a new roll and use it without putting it on the roll. You know, where it was supposed to be!
Guess what? Without any prompting by me, my children are carrying on those very frustrating traditions. If I told my aunt, I’m sure she would smile and remind me I was the exact same way growing up.
And I would do my best impression of rolling my (formerly) teenage eyes, give her a great bit (formerly) teenage sigh and then turn around and go back to my room. Without fixing a darned thing. Ah yes, I am feeling her frustrations just about now and wondering which teenager, in our house, would be the next one to roll their eyes at me, sigh and then go hide in their bedroom.
As we approach our 22nd wedding anniversary, I’d say it is quite fitting that I share the table runner that I designed and made for our 15th wedding anniversary from BOMquilts.com!
Love Knot 15th Anniversary Table Runner free pattern from BOMquilts.com
Although I would suggest that a more-than-beginner create this beautiful table runner, it IS possible for a beginner to make it…as long as they closely follow the instructions.
It was a beautiful table runner that I gifted (over a year or two or five late) with the young lady who used to babysit our children.
Quilted Blessings!
Our son celebrated his 15th birthday this past weekend. I am fearful that between now and when he’s full grown that we will not be able to keep enough food in the house for him. But, I saw some great photos I had taken of him, in younger years, and thought it’d be fun to watch how he’s grown from a youngster to a young man.
