Tuesday Chat

We had a job yesterday in San Diego county, and while we were coming back home, stopped for gas in Temecula....took this photo of a fire that was burning south of here....this is not only our hottest month but also fire season....another fire occurred south east of us..later in the afternoon and our online service went out...evidently the fire got to a tower...this is all undeveloped land, no homes were touched..its been so warm, in the 100s..feel really sorry for the fire fighters, must be miserable with the heat....

I really like Pattern Mart.... yesterday got  their free newsletter and found these darling tags...had to order them of course, an instant E pattern..

these use a little different technique, not only do you stitch them, but also stain, stiffen and paint....should be fun! I stitched most of them last night, all but the gingerbread man which I will finish today...not sure if I have all the paint colors though...

Jayden is growing and already trying to lift his head...very good for only a little older than two weeks....we are sure enjoying them being here with us...he and his mom got thrush, so had to go to the doctor this week....he wasn't a happy camper and kept them up several nights but is better now....I am hoping to get some photos of him awake soon!
We bought a little blue album for his first year..have a photo of the hospital, hospital pics and now early home pics....we know so well how fast babies grow...

That's about all for today...we have another job in El Cajon late this afternoon, its a 80+ mile trip one way but may go early as there is a huge shopping center/mall there we'd like to explore....make it a little more fun. I am not one for malls any more but we stopped there once before as they actually have a Walmart at one end...we were amazed to see how large the entire mall was..it reminded both of us of the Mall of America, in Minn. this one has a indoor ferris wheel just like that one....The Walmart was two story and had a escalator for shopping carts as well as people...quite unique....if we go, I will see if I can take a few photos..
