Two Jonahs and Not Much Else

I realize it's been a while since I've posted.

Truth be told, I haven't had (and still don't have) much to say.  

I know; surprised, aren't you?

But I'm here...really.

A few have asked after the progress on my whale rug, so I took it off the frame to snap a few photos....only to realize I haven't made much progress at all. (I hate doing letters....)

Liza Bean decided she was going to try to play Jonah and get in the whale's belly....

Then, of course, Jonah II had to get into the picture....literally.

So, as you see, not a whole lot of progress since my last post....and looking now, I think I will be re-doing "Rum"....at least the "M" in it. 

In the pattern version I had seen, the words beneath the whale were not printer-block style like the upper words but in the pattern I received, they are.  And, of course, little things like that can throw me.

We spent the Independence Day holiday weekend at the lake.

This is our little piece of paradise:

(I thought I had shown this previously, but Lauren (a/k/a "GT") says I didn't.  Since she is always correct...just like my husband...here ya go.)

We have an eagle nest right outside our front door, and as I was having my first coffee outside on the morning of the 4th, I looked up and saw this eagle(let):

I believe this is one of the 2 babes born last summer as his/her chest is turning white quite nicely. (Eagles don't attain their full "colors" until about age 4 or 5.)

We had a few friends over, and a friend who is an amazingly talented musician provided us with live entertainment. (I did a very short video to share, but can't seem to get it from FB to blogger....go figure.)

Afterwards, we watched endless fireworks over the lake....it was like having a front row seat to the best show in town.  Truly, you didn't know where to look first. Sorry no photos of those but I was sitting at the end of the dock and don't take my phone or camera there...at night...after a few glasses of Chardonnay.... (I know I'm a disappointment...no music video, no fireworks photos), 

After the company left and the fireworks settled down, the moon came out and did an encore. 

In my book, she steals the show every time.

I hope all of you are well and safe and hold tight to peace when and where you find it.
