~Been Tweaking and 2nd Day in Annapolis~

Hi everyone,
Well, it's raining here and about the third cloudy day so far that we have had, where is summer weather? I'd sure like to have some hot weather where you stay in the pool all day so far we haven't had that and it's July!!! I haven't had to water my flowers very much either not like the other summers we have had.

I've been doing some tweaking today and also started a stitchery, I have two others started and just lost interest in them and I discovered why...before I always drew them onto the fabric and stopped when you could print them, well I don't care for the perfect look of them so I think I'll just keep on drawing them... I used to stitch more when I did that, anyway I brought out my patriotic lampshade from the guest room and exchanged the lamp there with this one, it has patriotic corn kernels in it from St.Charles, Mo. that I've had for about 14 years:)


I finally bought a bowl rack from The Country Store. I have it next to my hutch and love it, this is where I used to have my dad's picture remember? It's also above my computer:)

I really am going to paint this one day, LOL, but went ahead and got some prim things on it, it needs something above it but I don't know what...any suggestions?

Now on to our 2nd day at Michael's...this picture is what we did last after we walked and walked in D.C. I was just thrilled to go and see all the monuments, I never thought I'd ever get to see it.

This is the restaurant where we ate in D.C. , great food and service:)

Here we are with the capital in the background, we had beautiful weather:)


Michael, me and Corrie

In front of the White House with two of my favorite guys. This is as close as you get, security is very tight!

Another picture of it, the flowers were beautiful.

The Vietnam memorial...how sad but I felt privileged to see it, part of my teenage years.

The Washington Monument, the only thing I could think of was Tom Hanks running thur it to meet Yenny:0

I was really in awe of the Lincoln Memorial so huge he is sitting there. Did you know he had a nightmare a few days before he was killed that he dreamed of going somewhere and someone shooting him?

I also found out that his left hand is clenched for some reason and the other relaxed for another, I'll have to ask either Michael or Stush because I forget.

Well, I a lot more pictures but I won't bore you with all of them, I had a wonderful time if you ever have the chance to go do so because it is awesome of course I love history so it was just great for me:)

Have a great rest of the day!
