Dashiells on Wheels!

Hey, that rhymed!

(My constant response to anything even remotely rhyming -- ha!)

Sorry for not checking in yesterday.
Yesterday and today were pretty big days!

I dropped by a friend's house for more sewing notions to help me finish our first little quilt.
Ella changed her mind and wants to keep it and make it a blanket for one of her doll's, rather than a full-sized blanket to give away. Aw, well!
I've already started a second quilt, and have great plans for making full-sized ones for Christmas gifts. Weeeee!!

Then we got back in time to have a picnic lunch in the park with a friend, and meet with someone from the city to discuss adopting the park! See, I was inspired by this story I read in the local newspaper, and thought, "We should do the same thing to the park in our neighborhood!"
So it looks like we'll be handling the weeding, though we could also propose other tasks like painting the benches or landscaping decisions -- awesome!! Gooooo, citizenship!

After that,

Today, I took the kids out on a mega walk that included dropping a book off at a friend's house, making a donation to Vina Moses, depositing some checks in the bank, and grabbing a bite at Yogurt Extreme. Buya.

This is the kids back from our outing:



As you can see, the kids still had plenty of energy, but I was felt pretty bushed after that...and yet I still ended up going out again not only to drop off another item to that same friend, but also to walk the dog, and finally to pick some blackberries with another friend! Phew!!

All in all, it was a great big awesome day!
Isn't summer the best~?

Hope you're enjoying your week and have a great end-of-the-week in store as well!

Til next time, take care and Happy Dashiells on Wheels!
