What I did in Florida

I’ve been off work for the last week, and Mark only has one day left of work.  I thought I’d share some recent photos…

Several weeks ago, Mark and I stopped at the rest stop near Skyline Sunshine Bridge.  I couldn't remember if I'd ever shared these pictures.

Then, the night before my accident, we discovered Alligator Pond right here in Sun N Fun.  It’s kind of tucked away behind a row of park models, and yes, there is an alligator in it!

Mark took the opposite shore.

Were it not for the flags and the fence, you could almost imagine being out in nature!

I have been learning new things in my sewing group too…

I made this bowl with cotton clothesline and fabric.

This demonstrates the "bowl-ness" of it.

And now for something completely different:  The woman who bought my quilt, Lucy Davenport, sent me a picture of her first bonsai show at Hortlandia, a garden show in Portland, OR.

That's my quilt behind her bonsais!
