Returned to the city and enjoyed K-Days....it had been 41 years since the first and only other time I have gone here...

Enjoyed 'Taste of Edmonton".....42 restaurants..plus 2 food trucks...set up food tents and you can taste their great food!!...

What summer fun have you been up to??

Walterdale Bridge...100 years old...going to be replaced...

I realize old bridges need to be replace...but there is just something about those old metal bridges...and I love the colour of this one!

 The water was cool...the temps were not that warm but it was a great weekend to be out and about!

We attended a Dinner Theatre..... 'Driving Miss Dasiy"

Michael Learned starred as Miss Daisy...

she was the mom in the Walton's...did you watch the Walton's?

The Street Festival is on Downtown Edmonton... I have never been to one before.....We walked down to see the happenings a couple evenings.... the events start at 11:00 am and run until 11:00 pm...

Well I'm off to start another week!!

Happy Monday Morning to you!!

I have been enjoying my city walks... 

I love that we live downtown and I can go for walks...

And leave the busyness of the city and find peace and quiet
in a country setting just down a path ....in the middle of the city.

These walks are my favourite time of the day..

 

This weekend Grandson 4 did a 10KM run in the city with his younger cousin...

it was a beautiful day to be out to watch a run...

Some take running very serious!!

Grandson 3 celebrated his birthday this weekend..
14 years of birthdays!!

Those of you in Canada would know about the flooding in our province...

but for those of you who live South of us... 

The southern part of our province has had devastating floods...

Here is a picture of the City of Calgary downtown....

picture off the internet

 A number of cities and towns have had been hit hard with flood waters!

I believe it's a reminder...that we are not in control...

It makes you stop and think...what is important....

Hope you all enjoy the first week of summer!.

The above picture is another one of my Granddaughter 2 pictures...

Watch for another post of her pictures this week!

Welcome to a new week...

It's a beautiful sunny morning!

The air is fresh after the rain showers we had on Friday and Saturday.

This weekend I finished up all my squares for my quilt...

 got the top sewn together....

The next big job will be getting the border but together...

It's been a year and a half since I have taught sewing lessons. 

But I have one little granddaughter that I started sewing with last fall... 

She was 4 years old almost 5 when she started sewing...

so her project has taken time to get finished...

She completed it this weekend!

To all my Southern friends...have a restful Memorial Day!

Another Monday Morning.... and I'm linking with carissa at lowercase letters

Friday night I picked up these tulips...

Little by little you could almost watch...

Slowly open... On Sunday...they looked like this!

Do you paint you fingernails??
I find my hands are in so much hot water it's not worth it...
but I had a few minutes this weekend so I took the time to paint them up...

Baked up some Eatmore bars...

Melt 1/4 cup butter, 1 bag of marshmellows, 1 Pkg of chocolate chips,
When melted add 1 tsp. vanilla..

Stir in 1 cup peanuts, 3 cups of Rice Krispies...
Put into at 9 x 12 pan (spray it with cooking oil)
Cool in fridge.

You will probably want to EATMORE of them!
Hope your week goes well!!
