After a very busy week, the weekend was nearly as busy! I need a vacation.
The newly licensed girl was not up for her first solo drive to be across town through traffic to horses. So, I got to ride along with her and got to see the horses and baby mini goats. The girls did not even get onto the horses until 11:30 for their 11 AM lesson. They were enjoying goat time. Since she did have a lesson at noon, she let the girls go over to the other pasture areas and hang out on their horses. Kyra's Grandpa calls this their 'solve all the worlds problem time.... or teenage girl time!'. They go to different schools and Kyra is a year ahead of Emily. These girls have been riding together for a few years now.
Once we got home, Grandma drove up as she wanted a Pig and Cattle restaurant meal and it is just down the road from us! We had a nice late lunch. She had not heard of a bunch of the USA/Florida bills being brought to the house/senate floors that will remove rights and various programs. Guess who owns all the media outlets now - the $$ so they choose what to report on! Sigh. I try to educate myself with news outlets from across the globe to stay informed.
After a little resting, this one insisted on a walk and since it was a beautiful day in the mid 70's I was able to do that late afternoon. If it is 80 F + the pavement is too hot for his paws. I have melted many a sneaker bottom walking on the roads in Florida. See Bears smile! He does love his walks. He is waiting for one right now, in fact.
I have about 1.25 peels left to stitch down on this and it should be completed in the F1 race today at 11AM. I would have completed it last night, but Bear decided I had stitched enough and he needed Mom lap time and snuggles.
This is a block I saw back in the 1990's that I loved. It was done in purple and green. It was on my 'someday' list when my skills got there. I was reminded of it in this book I got years ago that I flip through every once in a while for inspiration. The block is called String of Beads, which is the name I remember it being called way back when. I decided to do mine in a rainbow of colors with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC). Red is this months color.
Linking up with the RSC and Slow Sunday Stitchers.

Fun photo of the girls on their horses solving all the world's problems! I like to do that with my girlfriends, too - if only we could actually solve them. 😢 Your orange peel blocks are coming right along - they're going to make a beautiful design! Have a great Sunday, Deb!
Let the girls solve all the world's problems. Maybe, one day, one of them will be the President of the United States or whatever this idiot decides to call the America tomorrow. They are mostly just making wonderful memories. Love the String of Beads blocks. Enjoy! ;^)
I can see how hard it would be --wanting to play with goats--or ride horses??? Poor Bear and the hot roads--we had a resident here that had a mid sized dog and she had some kind of booties she put on her dogs feet when it got hot--maybe that is what Bear needs!!! Have slower, but good week--oh--and I am going to be doing some orange peels too starting this week--will be on my post--hugs, di
Your String of Beads is really pretty--nice work on these...
Did you watch the Fi Bahrain race? A really fun one...
What is it about Sunday afternoons? I always find myself adrift....
Hugs, Julierose
String of Beads is a terrific choice for the RSC.
Aaah the little goats. How sweet. Your String of Beads blocks look great Deb.
