Saturday Drive!

It was a nice day, and with a storm going by in the atlantic, it was the perfect day to go to the lighthouse and watch the waves.

These first two things are what I call, dumb things to do during a storm.

Does this look like a good way to fish?

There were lots of people sailing, perfect winds for that, but ski doing in the waves around the rocks, not my idea of smart.

But it did look fun and great way to catch some air.

Speaking of catching some air, the seagulls were loving it. 

We decided to drive to the other side of the island. The cove here is a bit quieter and a lot of divers come to explore the coves.

We walked up a path to the top of the old forts and got a beautiful view of Newport Harbor.

Then it was home for a cookout with my son. My DIL had to work, but Billy bought over photos and a CD for us, of the wedding.

Here is one of the professional photos, beautiful shot of them both.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

One of those Weeks Giveaway!

No new things to show, I am working on some patriotic pillows.
I still need to redecorate since easter, so making some little things for my baskets and bowls.

Now I asked, what was wrong with this picture and no one picked up on that cue;)
Dora does not sleep with any kitty, doesn't even sleep with me, she likes her space.
That was two photos, Izzy sleeps on my chaise, so I put them together;)

Here is another of Dora's favorite spots. It has been so hot, even with air, the kitties are too lazy to tear the house apart, so that is one benefit. Tell me what Dora is thinking and I will draw a name from the entries on Monday night. The winner can pick any pattern or booklet from my ecrater site.



We also got some Wicked storms this week. The city area looked like a tornado hit, that was from the down drafts, they pulled up trees and the sidewalks. We got a lot of wind and some rain, but luckily no damage. I am hoping the rain holds off tomorrow, nice cool temps, so maybe I can get a long walk in.
