September

It is hard to believe that it is September already, this year has flown by. It sounds like it has finally stopped raining but I am waiting for the 10 o'clock news -- delayed because the football game ran late -- to tell me what the weather will be like tomorrow. We are not flooded and there is no water in the house but everything outside is wet and the dogs are muddy. When I was at church this morning, it felt like we were sitting in a rain forest.

This is the third time that a hurricane has hit a city that I recently visited. Earlier this summer, we stayed in downtown Houston. I haven't seen pictures of the Hyatt but I heard that it was damaged. We also visited New Orleans before Katrina and Fort Lauderdale before and after Wilma. This time, my husband and daughter benefited from the hurricane, they went to see the Cubs play the Astros in Milwaukee this evening. They called earlier and told me that it was a perfect game.

I have a finish to show off -- my Tudor Rose Scissors Fob is finished. It was designed for the Lake Michigan Sampler Guild Anniversary Party last year. I continue to work on Anne DePauw, one day I may finally be able to post pictures of a completed sampler.
