End of Summer

It's close to the end of summer and it's such a great time for me. Anna and I returned from San Antonio and it was just a fabulous time of relaxation and enjoyment. I really praise God for this time away as well as these days not having to teach. After a stressful month of June, these days without work have been like heaven! I spoke to another teacher in my department today and we spoke about this time of "rejuvenation" that keeps us sane and keeps our passion alive.

I was able to cook for the Toppers tonight and it was a blessing for Anna and I to take the meal over to them. Also today, I was able to clean out my closet and being the clean-freak that I am..this act alone made me feel "over the moon". Lol. :-)

I came across 2 quilt tops that my mom made. It touched my heart to find them. My sisters and I grew up quilting with my mom during the summers that we worked as migrant farmworkers in Wyoming & Washington. I am planning on using these next few weeks of summer to quilt these tops. I am thankful to God for this project. It will help me connect with my mom and it feels good in my spirit.
