Basketball Sunday


Sunday was basketball day! Here's Zach the referee for the U14 team.



Getting ready to play against the International Stuttgart School.


This must be some "psych-up" tactic. It almost looks like the despair of defeat, but this was before the game started!


Happy again!


Motivational moment!


No. 13 is Zach's friend Julian - this was Julian's first game, and he even made a basket!


Will Zach's shot go in?? Yes, and he gets a free throw after being fouled.


Focus!!! and swish!!


Zach passes to Andi.


Unfortunately, we couldn't stop Stuttgart's No. 11, who made 52 points. Two others made 13 points each. Zach was the "high" scorer for our team with 11 points.

Pursuit of a hobby



Finally - made it to the Fabric Shack in Waynesville, Ohio!! Just happened to be on the route from Columbus to Cincinnati.





John took one look at the bus full of fabric shoppers, and decided he'd go work on his class paper at McDonald's, while I joined the quilting crowd.





I always seem to gravitate to these colors!



I also love Christmas fabric!




A store in Lancaster Co., PA, recommended by Joy Sims.




Decisions, decisions!




I can't resist autumn hues!



Another Lancaster Co. recommendation from Joy.






Photo from the Glass Thimble in Columbus, taken without my knowledge. Zach found my camera in my purse and played paparazzi.



What would I do without Susan?



One unhappy camper at the fabric store! Effects of Lyme disease??



Putting together the first IKEA table for my sewing center








Tah, dah!!


The second IKEA table






Good work!




Sewing area in our downstairs (where all the girls had their rooms)


Ready to begin!!
