Can you beleive that it is fall again

Although with our weather this week you would never know that fall is here. 31C yesterday. Thank goodness we haven't taken the air conditioner out yet.

School has started. the first day was great both and Mac and Megan are enjoying their new teachers. Beside the bus being very late the first day things were okay.

Today has been a busy day. I made some bran muffins with chocolate chips and some cinnamon buns. I used the bread recipe from the down to earth webisite

Charlie

You guessed it we went out and got a new dog. Charlie's dad a was chocolate lab and his mom was a irish border collie. Charlie was going to be named Cadbury but he kids thought Charlie was better. I have started calling him Charlie bear.

Ball Hockey Sprin 2009

Mac played a bit of ball hockey this spring, he didn't really enjoy it and we found that he was more interested in playing hockey with the neighbourhoood kids then going to his games.

Next year he will not be registered. He had fun at the games he went to.

Roxanne 1997 - 2009 RIP

It has been sometime now since we had to put our loving girl to rest. She is missed by all of us.

Received another postcard

I received another postcard in yesterday's mail. Caves of the wind in Colorado Springs.

More of my Postcard collection

I love getting postcards from all over. I have many friends that send them to me when they travel and I also joined Postcrossing, a great sight for exchanging postcards.

I'm just teaching myself to crochet. I haven't done much yet. I have a few things on the go and find that my biggest problem seems to be tension. I think that practice and time will help with this.

This is the back and front of my first crochet dishcloth that I made for an exchange in the group At My House . The perfectionist in me would have liked to rip it out and redo it but I also know that I would never be completely pleased. I'm going to keep practicing until I get it better. I'm going to try some more of them when my other projects are finished.

I also made this potholder for the same exchange. A bit simpler but still needs work. Jamie was impressed.
