They are here!

This is the year of the 17 year cicadas in our area. We have been hearing them for about ten days now, but they just came into our yard this week. They really do cover everything, although I think other areas have more than we do here.

Time is flying...

Well, since we went to the Sprick sibling reunion time has been moving very quickly. I do not have to make any plans to keep busy! There were 14 of us Spricks at Meramec State Park in Missouri for four days. We had cold, then hot, then rainy weather, but it did not slow us down. Talking, playing bocce ball, Farkle, talking, Catch Phrase, visiting Meramec Caverns and talking kept everyone busy. We also had a night of "home movies" where we watched a slide presentation of photos from the past. Everyone enjoyed seeing their personal "back to the future".

My May quilting UFO has taken a back seat this month - it is a small wall hanging that just needs to be quilted, but I have not started it yet. We did not get home from our travels until May 7, went to a 4-H/FFA livestock show and sale on May 8, and then got to take care of three of our favorite kids while their parents were in New Orleans for 4 days! By then it was May 13 and I still had not begun work on the May project. Fast forward a week and we were able to have other family friends live with us for a week while they were between homes - their house sold a week before they were able to get into the new house!

Maybe I can get some quilting done after Memorial Day!
