He Did/ She Did…

IMG_5188 While Mr. Goff spent a few whirlwind days in our nation’s capitol --most of them in a convention center, some of them seeing the incredible sights and smelling the rather unfortunate smells that come with being in the “close quarters” of the metro, and nearly all of them on his progressively weary feet…

IMG_5525 Mrs. Goff got bold and now our piano is RED!!  It goes, of course in the green front room that magically became that way during one of Mr. Goff’s previous business trips, hmm.  Cael may be as big a fan as his mom is…

Not Too Shabby for a Saturday in September…

IMG_5142 The day started out warm and wonderful with Curtis’ team playing some fierce and fantastic football!!  They are 2-0 this season and I see nothing wrong with just calling it good right now…

IMG_5144 And as if great football wasn’t enough, I got to go meet and greet/ stand shoulder to shoulder with my close personal friend (you can see the photographic evidence of just how tight we are), fabulous fabric and pattern designer extraordinaire, Heather Bailey!  She came to one of my favorite places ever, The Material Girls Quilts, in South Jordan, and could not have been more gracious, pleasant, delightful…

IMG_5145 I met a new friend, Becca,  in line -- she took my glamour shots and I returned the favor.  Heather asked if we’d be interested in seeing her sketch book—um, yes, I’d like that very much!!  The creative process is rather fascinating to me.  She keeps her sketch book with her all the time and draws whenever something strikes her –I do love her style and her sketches were beautiful. 

I’d already transitioned over to using my orange bag for fall, but I switched back to my red and green Heather Bailey fabric special, just for this very special occasion.  I nearly always like where I live, but sometimes I really really like where I live…

Things that Make for a Lovely Day of Labor…

IMG_5101 *Free chicken sandwiches from the good folks of Chick-Fil-A when you wore an item with a team logo, nice…

IMG_5100 *Early morning tennis with Miss Kylie (and Cael)—we dig living by a high school with newly renovated tennis courts…

IMG_5105 *Cael, who 1.)consented to wear Curtis’ Seattle Seahawks beanie for more than 15 seconds, and 2.) sat in the cart for the duration of our Sam’s Club visit-excellent…

IMG_5108 *My Fab Five, attempting to share stale hot dog buns with the semi-snooty ducks of Gardner Village (they’re a lot less semi-snooty when there’s a little snow on the ground) and wondering how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop—Cael was too busy doing the licking to let us know…

**And now we really can bring on the fall—hooray!!
