Mater's Birthday

It's June and my Peonies are in bloom ! Luv Luv Luv. It's also the mater's birthay. I won't tell you exactly how old she is (88) lets just say I'm so proud of her - she is still living and managing on her own! My sister, brother-in-law and I are taking her out for dinner. Update - No pics as I forgot the camera :(.
This weekend we had a visit from Claire who now has 8 teeth. She understands a lot of what is being said but so far is only using single words, one of which is NO ....  No pics as once again I forgot the darn camera!!
Not much on the quilting side either as I've been relaxing, reading and trimming bushes in the garden.

 

Just finished Barbara Kingsolver's Flight Behavior Enjoyed it immensely possibly because the copy I purchased was a "Luxe" edition which means it is large print. I hate to admit it but the large print  made it easier on the eyes to read .... 'nough said!

This week's "Canadian" controversy  in the news was the brother & sister act allegedly responsible for an earthquake in Malaysia. They and a few friends took naked pics of themselves at the top of a mountain the locals think is sacred. Here's an interesting BBC report on the prevalence of naked tourist photos. They were sentenced to a 3 day jail sentence and a hefty fine! Did they deserve the fine? or should they have gone scot free? What do you think?
