I have been busy with family and friend activities. My daughter hosted a July 5th party that was fun.
I have been going to the summer series of the Fort Bend County Youth Rodeo Series in June and July. My granddaughter Anna is doing really well in Pole Bending and Barrels. One more to go and she is in the top 10 hoping to finish in the top 6 for awards. Also, injoyed a stitching retreat in New Braunsfel, TX hosted by Stitches From The Heart , San Antonio(pictures in previous posting).
I have also been stitching and even finished a couple of stitching pieces.
