Yes, she got to see me on drugs also. I don't think I did anything outlandish, at least not that I remember. She fixed great food and watched TV with me. Plus, we got to do some sewing! That was the best part. She brought some fabric to sew blouses for Ellen. Ellen is going on a church sponsored pioneer trek. She will be part of a family. This family will be traveling by handcart. The handcart only holds supplies, not people. That means there is a lot of walking plus pushing and pulling the cart. It sounds like a lot of work. We will have to have Ellen tell us how her journey of adventure proceeds.<br />

Ellen needs two cotton, long sleeve blouses. Not being able to find them in stores, Suzanne decided to make them. Good for her. It was time to share a talent. With a pattern and fabric, we began our own journey, but it was sewing. Our journey was fun and <i>air conditioned</i>. It was fun teaching Suzanne the ins and outs of the process. First Suzanne cut the fabric according to the pattern. Then, she began sewing. She had no problems. I explained each step and she could do it. She learned how to put a collar on the blouse and how to set in sleeves. Reading the pattern itself was a little challenging, but with help and the pattern pictures it was a snap. I'm so glad I got to share this with Suzanne. She has been sewing quilts and skirts, but now a blouse is in her skill set also. I think sewing is so much fun. It gives me a sense of accomplishment. The best part is sewing for little and pre-teen girls. They love what you make, because it is just for them. I have enjoyed sewing for my daughters and now another daughter is passing it to her daughters. This is an adventure that can be repeated over and over. HAPPY SEWING everyone.<br />

For us on the western side of the Rocky Mountains, it will happen at 10:16 a.m. What will you be doing to celebrate summer's beginning? Have a little party. I was talking to Baby in the Hansen household last night and suggested he have a party with his in-town Grandma. I hope they have fun. Wish I could be with them. Some things for you to do: eat watermelon, indulge in some wonderful ice cream, sit in a lawn chair while your kids run through the sprinkler, go to the library and read the afternoon away, go to McDonald's for an ice cream cone, and top off the first day of summer with a movie at the drive-in. Most won't be going to the drive-in, but the rest is all fair-game. What will the Nevada McLean's be doing: reading, computer work, having hot dogs for dinner, eating watermelon and strawberries and going to Mickie D's or maybe having Dad make a run for real ice cream or skinny cows. What a fun day to celebrate. <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;">HAVE FUN</span></b>.<br />

Ed is a BIG guy. The strip is found Here. Michael McLean has invested a lot of time and I enjoy reading it. He has an imaginative mind and loves to draw. Although sometimes Ed seems to have a little bit too much hair, but that is just a grandma's opinion. I do love how he takes care of business. I love the soda machine strip. Take a trip to his Web site and enjoy.<br />

We had fun together going to Boise, Idaho, time together on the Great Midwest Tour of America, (a vacation for the Hansen's and McLean's one year), going to parks to play and just being together. Calvin holds a special spot in our hearts as our first grandchild.<br />

A few years ago, while in Indiana, Dan took this photo of me. As you can tell, I didn't know it. Thinking back I must have been one tired grandma. I was warm and connected. I had the telephone at arms reach. I also had lots of reading material. I had my scriptures and other books nearby. I'm surprised Whisper, our cat, wasn't on my lap. She loves to lay on my lap, especially if a blanket is involved. I'm in my favorite rocker. I still love to read in this chair, usually at night before going to sleep. Sometimes it even gets chilly enough to use a blanket. The funny thing is Whisper loves this chair almost as much as I do. She uses it while I sleep. I know, because she leaves cat hair, which I try to remember to remove.quilts and quirkshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04588390306908351621noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804368805369136063.post-8399003052432244462010-08-18T01:01:00.000-07:002010-08-18T01:01:00.217-07:00Wordless Wednesday - 43 Years<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1t6Tm5E6s982GOU1XMHqs6m6cPvLD_Q94QXqqpUzv1_1P4-J-SLBdxW4WgA-mE68icUkhdBMFmYgDXPGv8N3OIA5wgnNNZ7r4RPTAaYEC0KhezPBSHeHjdfnkfAOKZDn36SXp73mm8Wc/s1600/McLean+Marriage+&+Parents.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1t6Tm5E6s982GOU1XMHqs6m6cPvLD_Q94QXqqpUzv1_1P4-J-SLBdxW4WgA-mE68icUkhdBMFmYgDXPGv8N3OIA5wgnNNZ7r4RPTAaYEC0KhezPBSHeHjdfnkfAOKZDn36SXp73mm8Wc/s400/McLean+Marriage+&+Parents.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>quilts and quirkshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04588390306908351621noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804368805369136063.post-4195763964033248902010-08-13T18:00:00.000-07:002010-08-13T18:00:50.375-07:00Anniversary Friday!<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">Happy Anniversary Chris and Donna.

The dress was a little big when she received it, but fit fine a few years later. Okay, maybe it was a little short by then, but you can't see it. With stockings, it looked great. We lived in Manhattan, Kansas when this picture was taken. Graduate school encouraged us to stretched out the wardrobes as far as they would go. This dress was received the same time as Donna's blue jumper with the red shirt, which I have shared before. I loved those two dresses so much. As I remember Donna wore one of them every Sunday to church. You have to remember, the memory only remembers what it wants to. I'm sure, thinking back, there must have been more dresses in her wardrobe. I know there were summer dresses that I made and other dresses from Grandma. Little girl dresses are so cute. Donna looks so happy in her dress.<br />
