I Like Thursday #96 - Visiting

Happy Thursday, friends!  I've had a good visit this week with my mom here, and found many things to share for "I Like Thursday."

I liked making the peach pie with my mom.


And we've really enjoyed it!

Yummy!

I liked having some time together with my mom, sister, and niece. 



All three of them share the SAME birthday (can you believe it?!) so there is always a get together.  I *might* feel a little left out, but they share their cake with me, so it's all good! :)

I love my sweet niece, Maya, who is an ER nurse in Denver, and she now has this adorable puppy, Winston!

Winston is a Golden Doodle.


When my mom is here, there isn't a lot of time for sewing, but this lovely bundle of fabric came in the mail, so I've been admiring it and planning what to make out of it.

It is the August Blogger Bundle from Bernie's shop Needle and Foot, chosen by Carole of From My Carolina Home.  I splurged and got the half-yard bundle, so now I have lots of pretty late summer colors to play with! 

My mom's been enjoying listening to an audiobook and watching the birds at our feeders, so I have sat with her and read quite a bit.  I finished up this book, which I really enjoyed!


Although this author, Miriam Parker, isn't new to the field of publishing, this her first book, and I loved this very last paragraph at the end of her author's note.



I appreciate all of you, my readers, too, and thank you for coming to visit my blog on Thursday or any other day!  Hope you're having a great week!  

Don't forget to visit LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color and read the other I Like Thursday posts, too.

  1. I bet that was so nice to have a visit with your mom and some of the rest of the family. Three birthdays on the same day has happened a lot in my family as we are so big but I have a feeling yours is not as large as mine so the chances of that happening is less for you.
