Summer is flying by, the 4th is now a memory. Laura Beth, Nick and the boys camped next to us from Tuesday until Sunday.
Grandpa entertained with a snack and cartoons while it was raining. The fireworks were rescheduled until Thursday nite. Beautiful weather for fireworks, we enjoyed them immensely!
Unfortunately right before the 4th my convection/microwave oven died. Yup--totally dead! A quick trip to Walmart supplied a cheap microwave (you can always use a spare) but one to fit in the camper with a convection oven had to be ordered. Brady and Ken persevered and an almost perfect fit was achieved.
How does it look?
I immediately baked a brownies from a box mix-
They look a little overdone on the top but were not. Thank you Brady and Ken! An oven is a necessity for me.
There's always nature to study at the VC. This little fella is a Forest Tent Moth.
He matures into this--

And I received a FUN gift from Karla--
Thank you Karla--I love them!
There's been no sewing. 😢 Still doing exercises and resting my arm. Instead I read about quilts, admire everyone's pictures, and study patterns.
Its been very wet here in South Dakota/Nebraska/Iowa area. Over a two week period we received +15" of rain. Last night Ken said we had +5" of rain, here at the camper the gauge read 2.75". Sigh I prefer rain to drought.
What has the weather been like where you're at?

We didn't get the deluge that Parkston got last night, but did get 1.5" which was much appreciated. Sounds like Parkston really got dumped on again. My SIL in Tripp has had water in basement off and on for over a month.
Our family was here the weekend before the 4th for the family reunion. And I got to spend the afternoon with 3 of the grandkids yesterday.
Hope that arm feels back to normal soon.
I’m so sorry your arm is hurting.
We’ve gotten maybe an inch in the last month. It’s so dry!
Lucky you! We are hoping for rain. We are beginning to drop apples which always makes me sad.
Glad you got your oven replaced! I am sure your little grandsons helped eat up those brownies! LOVE those little faces!!
Happy stitching!
