Do we ever slow down?

Ray and I seem to be on the go all the time. One would think we are 60 instead of 75 and 80. Amazing how much energy we still have.

We went back to the car dealers this morning because we had no owner's manual for our new car . Ray had to ask the salesman Ebi who was so kind, how to move his seat and if he could move the steering wheel. I needed to find out how to reset the clock and one of the mechanics showed me the way. haha.
Ebi invited us to a barbecue tomorrow for return customers. We bought our original  Taurus from Budget too. We will go and think ti will be fun. I wonder if Red Robinson will be there. We just missed him yesterday , he was making a commercial.

Ebi gave us a lovely book of Red's music career in Vancouver with many famous  guests including The Beatles, Liberace, and so many others. It will be fun to read it all the way through.
The design I embroidered on an apron for one of my boys, which one is anybody's guess. LOL.
A little out of order but good!


After that we had to go for gas for the new baby. $57 later we had a full tank. But who knows how long it will last the way we are going. But it is so much fun to bomb around.
Then we went to the casino to celebrate, Ray won, I lost but he shared his money with me. Good guy!!

Tonight is the first nght of the firework show. It is Vietnam who puts on the first show.  I think Rick will bring his friends who are visiting him on his sailboat around to English Bay for the Celebration of Light. It is a great way to finish off their vacation.
Grandson Ricky on dad Richard's boat a while ago but you get the idea of how great the sea can be on a sunny day.

This sewing lady with the tomato handbag and fabric shawl is a postcard I made when I was making postcards. I love red so she suits me to a tee. She is from the collection by ...... Darn can't recall who it is. I'm sure you know though. She has a lot of cute embroidery designs and also fabrics with her designs on it. I have two of her fabric collections and still can't remember her name. But wait it will come to me .....

Got it Ahaha!!!

It was fun making the postcards. People say they don't take up much time but I found that not to be true. They are small but you had to make three of them in the group I was in , some groups have you make more. I found that it was designing the cards, then sewing them and putting them all together like a quilt, signing the backs of them  and finishing the edges. It took me some time anyway . But then I am slow. Fortunately there was a deadline so no fooling around!!  You can't be late!!

Another one I think I made this one for Mary!  Is that right Mary?

Everyone needs a friend, every day. These guys look happy to be together.
Rose just looking cute :))

Time to go folks.
Have a beautiful evening
Buona Sera.
