That Part Goes On Like This...Doesn't It?

The Welcome Committee:  Sunny and Max (l-r)

      We finally went to Utica today to Jeff's sister's house.  Sherry had asked for some help from Jeff with yard work.  She and her next door neighbor want to alter the fence between the houses and the weeds, etc on Sherry's side of the fence had to be taken care of first.  Of course, today probably wasn't the best day to do yard work...the temperature was over 85 and who knows what the humidity was!...but it was the day we got there.  We would have made it there sooner but the trailer needed a new hitch and that took longer than Jeff anticipated.  In fact, he took it off and put it on 3 times this morning alone before everything fell into place!  (He even checked with a YouTube video to make sure he was doing it right!  Directions do not seem to come in English with a hitch kit.) We came home with a full trailer load, too.  Jeff's been bringing tools, etc back from Sherry's garage every time we take the trailer to Utica and today was no exception.  And we made it home just as it started to rain!
   Fanny got to play with her canine cousins, Max and Sunny and got some rawhide treats from her aunt Sherry, too.  Max is a miniature Schnauzer the same age as Fanny, and Sunny...short for Sunshine...is a miniature Schnauzer-Cocker Spaniel mix a year younger.  Max and Fanny get along a lot better than Sunny and Fanny but they all co-exist pretty well. 
   

    My Lemon Picchu is 
finished with a sunflower button and ready to go to the shop on Wednesday.  I've got a white one about half done...maybe I'll get lucky and finish it tonight.  I've still got to finish the PinStripe Sweater, too!  And I sold 4 hats yesterday so I have to replace them!  I got an Apple hat done while at Sherry's today and there's a Flower Hat in the project bag so maybe...just maybe I'll be able to replace them.  Remember, the Baseball Hall of Fame is holding it's Annual Induction Weekend next weekend, July 25-26, and that means many, many people will be in town.  If you're one of them, be sure to visit the shop, too:  Cooper Country at 2 Double Day Court, adjacent to Double Day Field.  We're open 10am-5pm, 7 days a week.
