What to do in Summer??

We have done a few things this summer. Gone to the beach several times, we went to Killarney for a weekend, movies, parks etc. etc.

I work at the new assisted living here in town, it's officially called the CU Manor, but that's such a dumb name, I can't get myself to tell people I work there, so I just call it the new assisted living building. My nine year old wanted to learn to crochet so I asked one of the ladies living there if she would be interested in teaching her. Well, she was so thrilled that I asked, she was more than happy to do it. So, one morning we went over there and my daughter began to crochet chains. She learned very quickly really, but she needed to practise these "chains" until she had the tension right all the time so that when she went on to crocheting bigger and better things they would look good. She has really enjoyed it, she's practising hard, she's ready to learn more. The result of that is long "chains" of crocheted yarn all over the house, you've got to LOVE summer!!! Truthfully, I am glad she's found something that interests her, it has kept her quite busy during the week. Tomorrow she goes back to learn how to crochet rows, she can hardly wait! I'm really very proud of her because she has accomplished something that she put her mind to and she didn't give up.

I think I'm going to tell her that!! Way to go girl!!
