Modeling Session and Foiled Plans

This morning Woody got up early and went for a 4-mile walk. And, it's a good thing as not very long after he got home we had a thunderstorm roll in. Woody's plans for the day got foiled...he had planned to water some gardens. Instead we got .91 inches of rain...so watering unnecessary...and Woody had to mark that off his plans for the day. The little neighbors were out early selling their wares. I walked over and bought a green pepper to use in our lunch preparations. Then Abigail came over to try her new dress on for the first time and to have her modeling session. She had fun twirling, curtsying, grinning, and then we had fun with some of the strange settings on my camera...one made her look VERY tall and thin and the other made her look rather short and squat. She thought that was funny! Woody made a blueberry dump cake to take over to the neighbors for their welcome home lunch. After the was done, he headed off to run errands and go to the grocery stores. I got up pretty early and got busy on the rest of the fixin's for today's lunch with Nathan and Kathy and family. Shortly after Woody left for the grocery store, there was a rapping on our front door and there were four little munchkins looking for a dry spot to play...they were on the front porch with umbrellas in hand...off came their shoes and in they piled. They played and watched PBS while I continued to cook. We had a fun welcome home lunch over at the neighbors house. We find that easier as their seating is more accommodating than ours...they're set up for a crowd all the time!!! After lunch, I took a nap and Woody went to the library and when he came back he cleaned up the lunch mess in the kitchen. After my nap, Abigail came over to work on an embroidery design that she wants to put in the cover of her new sewing notebook that we are going to use for sewing lessons this school year. We have it partly finished and will stitch out the rest when she comes over next. I ironed three (well, only two as Abigail's hadn't been worn yet except for the modeling session) little dresses to have them ready for the girls to wear to church in the morning. If I sew on fabric that wrinkles, then I have told Kathy that I will iron out those wrinkles after the dresses have been washed! Woody is reading and watching TV or perhaps a DVD this evening...just relaxing at the end of a busy day.
