A lot has gone on since I last posted. I finished a memory quilt for Katie's uncle. We took a real vacation to Yellowstone and Grand Tetons. Then we had the kids for several days during their fall break. We had so much fun! The other local grandparents got some time with them as well. So blessed! Also started a new paper pieced quilt, pattern by Bonnie Hunter.
So the pictures are not in any kind of order.

Yellowstone
Comparison of when we were there about 12 years ago (right picture) We've definitely aged a bit!

Saw lots of elk in the little park community of Mammoth Springs
Fall Break with the grands. We called this week "Grand Camp." Haddon with his little friend Merritt Hixson (a distant cousin).
Emma and Shiloh Hixson. They lived next to my grandchildren before they moved to LA. Their mom is Alicia Graves, the daughter of one of my besties Tina Graves, and she has SIX kids!
Tina and I love that our grandchildren are so close.
Fun at our house with Papaw

New paper pieced quilt. This one is taking a while to do. Very tedious.
It's been almost two full years since I quit the pixie haircuts and started learning how to deal with my wild curls. I love having longer hair!
Can't believe how much it has grown in just two years. And this includes five trims.
You and your husband don't look any older - you both look so fit! Your curls and hair length are beautiful. I bet you have a great hairdresser, or else you are very talented at maintaining and trimming!
ReplyDeleteI've been growing my hair since 2021. With a couple of exceptions, I had short haircuts all my life. Mine is straight, past my shoulders, and I love the convenience of wearing it in a pony tail and think it is much easier to maintain than short hair. My daughter sends me photos of shorter hair saying Oh this would be so cute on you and I'm like uh no, I don't like short hair any more - lol! I see older women like myself all the time with long hair, and why not! My Granny had hair to her waist until she was in her 80s. So I applaud your decision to grow it - it is so attractive!
Love the start on your paper-pieced quilt.
