Well, with my circumstances, this could be a candidate for the worst summer
ever, but we are trying to make a silk purse...well you know. So I whiling my time away quilting and puttering around my house and chatting (online and on the phone) with family and friends, and I have had a lot of fresh flowers around me, and I'm cherishing all those little golden moments with my hubby & kids, and trying my best to ignore everything else. And we're trying to fill up the summer with classic summery fun to distract us in between all the circles on our calendar...water gun fights and shooting hoops and watching ballgames, and grilling food and going to movies and blowing bubbles and all that good kind of stuff. So, all I can say is that this summer is having it's moments. Best of luck to you and yours Kris, and here's to what you can salvage of summer! "QuiltR1024" wrote in message ... Hi All, I had an unexpected root canal this week and have five more dental visits scheduled. I might be leaving for PA today- my mom is back in the hospital & is scheduled for a small surgery this morning and to start kidney dialysis ( sp?) today. So, this is what I've been up to, besides my shoulder recovery. I hope you all are having a better summer- I don't like all my scheduled calendar activities to have red circles around them ( meaning a doctor or dentist appointments). I need some more fun activities - to balance this out. grin So if anyone is in or traveling in the northern Virginia area , just give a yell. Kris ( in northern Virginia) |

Just a hop skip and a jump away. OK, maybe it's a bit further. I'm up in
Langley, BC, about 15 minutes from the Canada/US border. Shawn -- mslibra www.cutcakes.ca "Nana2B" wrote in message ... Where do you live? He comes down my block too.

The neighborhood where my boyfriend lives has an ice cream truck come
around two-three times a day. Different trucks, different songs. I love the old panel truck with a Spanish-only speaking driver, music is "Bicycle Built for Two"!! Gotta love it. Oh, and there are the vendors who sell from handcarts also. Ginger in CA betting today will be hotter than it has been all week, which was hot! Ronnie Wexler wrote in message .. .

Haven't seen the icecream truck here but twice in the 3 yrs we've lived
here, but the TACO truck comes by every day but Sunday! (Playing Cucaracha - DB says it's truth in advertising- heh heh) Kellie "Ginger in CA" wrote in message om...

Ours comes by about 3-4 times a day, plays "The Entertainer" and my son gets mad because I won't let him have a $4 ice
cream. I keep the freezer stocked with Schwans ice cream, pop cicles, and about a zillion "iceee" things (the ones that come in tubes that you freeze). Our ice cream man makes me nervous with the way that he looks at the kids....so I keep the freezer stocked, and when there are a bunch of kids playing in the yard, I always have a pitcher of juice and plastic cups for them, and everyone gets iceee treats. Needless to say, when kidlet is home, we don't have an empty yard very often.

We have the ice-cream truck at least once an evening (more when it's hot)
The ice cream truck that used to come by every evening right at 5:00 during April and May (when our weather is anything but warm) has mysteriously disappeared now that we are in the high 80s. Go figure! SueS |

I hope it all quickly works out well for you and for your mom, Kris. Pretty
soon you'll use up your red circles and start having fun again. Summer here is just gliding along. I've already got the routine down for picking grandkids up at daycamp and there's only 2 more nights of soccer games left to go to. In a couple more weeks it will really pick up speed and seem to race toward Sept. Dee in LeRoy, NY "QuiltR1024" wrote in message ...

The one in our neighborhood stops in front of our house even if my kids
aren't outside. Hopeful, I guess. LOL My neighbor is a young mother. Her dd is 2. I saw her at the ice cream truck one day and said hi. She said she was just finishing changing her dd when dd heard the truck. DD asked what it was and mommy told her it was the ice cream truck and rushed out with her dd in one arm and $ in the other hand. I said, "Oh man! Your life will never be the same. I can't believe you taught her at 2 what that sound means!!!" LOL She has no idea. -- LN in NH a crazy quilter * hand quilter * & hand appliquér all in all --- a very slow quilter.... So send quilts!
