      Summertime

      I like how some of my friends in the UK call Summertime the silly season; it makes me smile. I imagine people having time to go to the park, with kids swinging and spinning around on the merry-go-round. Summer is a time for friends and family to slow down and enjoy life. I hope that is your summer as well. Summer for me is working in the garden and watching the flowers grow, and the bees buzzing around collecting their nectar. I enjoy the birds at our various feeders tweeting and enjoying the bird’s seeds. The squirrels appear and look for all the bird seeds that landed on the ground. All the beauty of Summertime leads to creative story ideas! Stay tuned!

        Summertime

        My husband and I loaded up the car, including our dog Remi and headed to the Midwest for a vacation. The newsletter highlights a picture of the farmland in IOWA. I wanted to share a little insight into our summertime, and the seven states we took in was a beautiful drive. I was thankful to the hardworking farmers and ranchers for the working day and night heat and snow to provide the grower stores with food for us. John and I also visited family and friends in various states. We also did some genealogy work, and it was inspiring to find one of my great-great-great grandpa’s resting place on my dad’s mom’s side. It turned out he was the first veterinarian and farmer in a small town in Kansas. He made it to the history books, which helped locate the family. Ancestry.com has helped me with my genealogy work for years.

        The Piece Quilters

        These amazing women quilt in the basement of a church, so they named their group “The Piece Quilters” since they were in the house of worship; quite clever. Plus, it fits with their mission; they raise funds for needy people. They also make quilts as a gift for each first responder in their community a quilt. If someone needs a warm blanket, they respond to those in need. It was a blessing to meet these women, and of course, I had to purchase some quilts. They are in Dow City, Iowa, if you want to buy a quilt from them.

        The International Humanity Day

        I was invited to participate in the International Humanity Day. It was the first I heard of it, and it pleased me to no end to meet online so many people working hard to share their God-given talents and love with the world. You can join them on Facebook and hear messages from lovely people worldwide. CLICK HERE
