Saturday was spent stitching in Nane's barn/studio with her and the rest of with my Bee friends. As always, it was time set aside to eat, visit and sew... yes, all at the same time; we're super-women after all. Those who weren't able to join us were certainly missed. Nane lives out in the country, in a beautiful old log cabin; driving out to her her home is a treat in itself. Her husband moved the cabin to it's current location
where he painstakingly rebuilt it, log by log, with careful and loving attention to every detail.I took this photo back in January, you can see the cabin here, and the barn, where her spacious studio is located on the upper level. There's plenty of room for sewing machines, friends and memory-making! OK, so that was the friend part of the weekend.
Today was the family part! We celebrated our son's birthday with a dinner for him here at the house. It was a great day together. Gregory was loads of fun but wondered why Nana lit daddy's cake on fire ("hey, that doesn't look safe", he seems to be thinking). It's been a great day all around, hard to believe that thirty-one years have passed this quickly. Happy birthday, Kyle; you're a wonderful son and a devoted and loving husband and daddy, we're very proud of you! Here's hoping that wish comes true.
Life is Good!

Looks like a great weekend! Nane's studio looks huge!!
And happy birthday to Kyle! I remember when he was tiny enough to sleep in a laundry basket. :-) Haven't 31 years just flown by?!!!
Sounds like an absolutely perfect way to spend a weekend. No question where Gregory's beautiful hair came from.
Lovely photos - you've obviously done a wonderful parenting job and look at the rewards!
What a great weekend. I remember when you went to Nane's last year and forgot the camera. :) Gregory is just too cute. I think you really described his look at that candle - exactly. He looks like such a sweetheart… well they all do. Blessings. *karendianne.
Family, friends, quilting (in a barn, no less) and food. Formula for a perfect weekend!
Could that youngun be any cuter?
I think not.
