Today is the 21st. It is the first day of summer, officially. The weather has been perfect these days. You can't beat 73 and sunny with gentle breeze.
Today is the 21st. John is 7 months old today. He has 2 teeth, is crawling completely, loves to get under every table and chair he can find. He pulls himself up on everything. He loves to 'talk'. He likes to pound on things and here himself make noise. He is a great sleeper and napper. He is good natured and happy. He has discovered arrowroot cookies and loves them.
Today is the 21st. Two more days until school is out.
Today is the 21st. Monday. That means laundry. That means picking up from the weekend. I got Shaun's room all cleaned out and up and gone through and ready for his next visit home. Clean sheets on the other beds. Washed all the towels and the bevy of pool/beach towels hanging on the hooks outside in the garage. That sure has helped not having large wet towels in the house on the laundry room floor constantly. I got all the things that belong downstairs down and upstairs up. Isn't it crazy how they make their way from place to place? I got all the shredding done that has been waiting for me.
Today is the 21st. That means June is almost over. Where did it go so quickly?

Memory Making
It was time. Even though I didn't want to. Even though I held out as long as I thought was appropriate. But yesterday was finally Valentine's Day and the blog look had to switch. The Maui look is now a fantastic memory and I made sure to print out that week of pages with the hawaii pictures on the side! But as you can see, we are rockin' quite 'pretty in pink'!
However, here is a cute little fish I found in a gift shop that I snapped up. I knew right away I would put him on the shelf in my laundry room so everytime I'm doing the 'deed' I can think of Maui! (fyi: I have a firm opinion about laundry rooms, whether they be in the house or in the garage: make them as pretty as you can because you spend so much of your life in them! I'm telling you--if it's pretty it makes laundry so much happier!)
Since Christine wore this to the dance last night, it's been on my mind doing the memory thing. Here is a front view of the suede hippie vest I made in the 70's. It was 1973. My friend, Sandy, and I wanted one of these soooo badly. But they were a bundle of mula to buy. Her mom had an industrial sewing machine and suggested we make one! Really? Do you think it would work? So we set out to try.
Back view. Double click so you can see the beading. We made up our own pattern and measured, measured. Look at that nice perfect V on the fringe! Top this over a turtleneck and a pair of jeans with boots and we were smokin' hot and the envy of all our friends!
(Notice a little part of the laundry room: I have wallpaper even on the ceiling. It is blue sky with gorgeous clouds. I don't have a window in this room, but it's happy!)
