School Again

Hey there again, I am typing from a VERY fast connection at the local college library. I have to wake up at 5:30 in the mornings of Tuesday and Thursday, and stay here until 7:00 at NIGHT!! Very long days ahead. So far the classes seem good, I still haven't gotten to my English class yet, so we'll see.

Finally

Sorry, this is a long time in coming, but with all the smoke around from the fires it's been hard to connect to the internet. So now i have some pics and info about what's going on. We have NO summer! With all the smoke it is an amazing site to see beautiful blue sky, maybe once a month, if we are lucky we get a couple of days of it before the smoke sweeps back in. All the smoke is coming from some fires that have been burning since JUNE!!!! And it gets worse when the forest service starts back firing 2 MILES away from the blaze. So MOST of what has been burned (and escaped many times) is from their back firing and NOT knowing the terrain and weather conditions for this area, some of the fire fighters here are from states where the hill I live on looks like Mt. Everest!

Well anyway, I've started making my FIRST quilt ever, and I think it turned out quite well, I still need to get the backing cut for it but I have the top DONE!!

We also went to the coast a few weekends ago and I got some pictures with my sisters jumping the waves and looking out of a cave.


Also there was a herd of elk that we stopped to take pictures of, I didn't really realize how BIG they were, they are HUGE! I also couldn't resist taking a picture of the sign they were standing around.
