I felt so good yesterday afternoon that Sophie and I snuck away from Skipper and went across the street for a neighborhood happy hour--the first one I've participated in for a while. Our happy hours are just little impromptu gatherings, usually in neighbors Paul and Karen's driveway, for conversation and libation. There were about eight people neighbors and four doggy neighbors.
We left Skipper working on his underground route to China, and he didn't miss us for a while. I just can't deal with him. There is no leash or harness that will hold him when he decides he wants loose, at least none that I've found. And if left unleashed, he runs in random directions for unpredictable distances. No such problem with Sophie. She stays with me or at least in my general vicinity. She had a great time playing and sniffing butt with all the other doggies.
Once Skipper tired of his excavation and discovered we had deserted him, he stood at the gate and barked until I felt guilty and finally even Sophie decided we'd best go home.
But we had a good visit with good friends, which I was able to enjoy without it ending in a chase around the neighborhood to retrieve a crazy terrier.
I have also been working on Granny Squares. I have 67 completed and one in progress.
I got out my hexie flowers that I have been working over for a while. I have about 70-75 completed. I think I'll put what I have together for a small wall hanging or table cover.
I made my hexies using precut cardboard templates
It's a good day to stay inside and sew. It's very hot and muggy outside. Not the kind of weather I enjoy. Thank God for air conditioning.

Amen to TGFA/C!!! We're slugging down gallons of iced tea, too, as it's been hot as blue blazes here for the last week. You know iced tea is the House Wine of the South!
What a great idea for to sneak away from Skipper for fun with the neighbors for you and Sophie. Cheers that you're feeling good, too, and I hope the feeling good has continued today.
Whose photo is that in the right column under the word 'facebook'? Has your blog been hacked or is this a very subtle joke? Is it a test to see who notices it first? ME!!!
Applause for your many finished Granny Squares and hexie flowers!! How do you plan to set the hexie flowers together?
Hugs!

I guess I just didn't notice the mugginess today. Being stuck at home all week in my cast (6 more weeks of non-weight bearing), I'm just so thankful when my husband takes me out of my "prison" on the weekends.
