In 2003, I had a whopping total of three posts in the month of September. To be specific, I had a whopping total of three posts in the
whole of 2003. That was the first time I'd ever blogged. Ever. (My very first blog post was quite touching -- read it
here.) Who knew that ten years later, I'd still be plugging away at it?!
To be truthful, though, some months I definitely plug away better than others . . . it's more than a little ironic to me that a decade later, in the month of September, I still have a whopping three posts. LOL!
I'll get back into the swing of things. Probably. In the meantime, here's a healthy handful of photos to entertain, edify, and educate!

Represent! My Crimson Tide has played (and beat) Virginia Tech, Texas A&M,
Colorado State and Ole Miss. We're 4-0. Roll Tide! |
 |
I flew to NJ (via Philadelphia Airport) to visit one of my sisters (Sister #3) ... not a
bad way to spend a two-hour flight, right?! |
 |
| First stop in NJ -- Olde City Quilts. It did not disappoint! |
 |
| Visited the lovely city of Princeton! |
 |
Found this darling mini-bundt pan at my sister's local Homegoods.
This has been on my wish list for a while -- it was HALF the price! YAY! |
 |
| Ate well. The. entire. time. ;) |
 |
Then Sister #3 and I headed south to visit yet another sister.
Early morning sunshine selfie. Waaaay early. |
 |
Waaaaay south! Remember the Alamo! (We then traveled even
*further* south to Corpus Christi!) |
 |
| We were greeted by Sister #4 and her oldest and youngest! |
 |
| Meet darling Liesl . . . she is such a precious baby! |
 |
Meet my brother-in-law . . . quite the entertainer, non?
And this was a quilt shop in Corpus Christi -- a lot of fun things there, too! |
 |
Three Sisters!
Please look very carefully ... those are actually bar stools we're sitting in.
I haven't completely lost my sense of propriety!
(But aren't they hilarious?!?!)
It was my idea to pose this way -- perhaps I have lost my sense of propriety! |
 |
| Ferry boat ride from South Padre Island. Hello pelicans! |
 |
| Flight back home . . . totally inspired to make a "travel" quilt! |
 |
| Welcome home! My Todd is always so sweet!! |
 |
| Free book that was waiting for me when I got home -- YAY!! |
 |
Not-so-free book that I got soon thereafter.
(It's filled with all kinds of lovely tea-party things!) |
 |
| Put that mini-bundt pan to immediate good use. |
 |
| Was given Ellie's high seal of approval. ;) |
 |
| Realized Ellie's grown waaaay too much! Definitely not a baby any longer. |
 |
| Leia, on the other hand, hasn't changed. |
 |
| Sawyer, James and I went turtle hunting. |
 |
| We actually found FOUR turtles that day! It was a terrapin record! |
 |
| We also found some really, really cool mushrooms growing around the camp. |
 |
Seriously -- they both look like something you'd find in the
coral reef, not the forest floor! |
 |
| Helped some dear friends set up the pavilion for their wedding at the camp. |
 |
| Attended said wedding! |
 |
| Autumn arrived! |
 |
Purples and yellows abound in the camp right now --
this is a favorite combination of mine! |
 |
| And days like this make it hard to stay inside. So I DON'T! |
The end.
:)
