I Like Thursday #498

My sunflower bloomed!  Here it was on Tuesday -

And then on Wednesday (yesterday) - even better!

Also this week I got some happy mail from Nancy at Grace and Peace quilting!  She sent me her scraps of little penguins left over from the Ikea duvet cover and pillow cases that she's been using to back the sweet baby quilts she makes.  Thank you so much, Nancy!  I will have fun figuring out where to use these penguins!

Our favorite summer outing has turned out to be driving up to Estes Park for a round of golf at the course by the lake, and then treating ourselves to lunch at the winery.  We went again on Monday, and it was a beautiful day up there.

School has started here, and that brings on many memories for me.  LeeAnna's question of the week is about the beginning of the school year - did we look forward to it?  And, yes, I always did - as a student, as a mom, and as a teacher.  When I was teaching, we had just spent a good week in meetings and planning for the school year, and I was so ready for the kids to come and to get going on the year.  I miss that - a little bit - but I'm too old to go back there now, lol!
