If you read " CrackerCrumbs " in the last few days you'll notice that she and I came up with a plan on the way to the Ontario airport. At least part of a plan anyway. She actually added a very interesting twist. Every month is a month to start, finish or work on a project that is the color of that month's birthstone. Since peridot is August's birthstone and is green, our projects should be green or have some green in them. Good thing I had this yarn in my carry-on luggage! It's kind of a sickly, sand in your eye green, isn't it? I was able to start socks in Salt Lake while our plane was in for maintenance. I think it's too easy to write about something that is green. It will be much more of a challenge to come up with a colored project each month. We don't care if it's knitting, quilting, crochet, scrapbooking or anything else. As long as it's something that you are working on making. So if you want to join us please sign in on her blog or ...

We had a crowd over by default. The kids were playing volleyball at the park and ended up at our house. This game looks like a lot of fun. I don't know.

The gals gave up and came inside to read, knit and fix dinner.

We're going out the door. It's my birthday and we're going to Kelowna for the night. I've been super busy lately. Here i am on the computer uploading pics. See you later!

It was an expensive lesson but I think we learned it. Just to make sure, B made a new rule for the camera. No rain and no bike races. Do not take your camera to a bike race when it is raining. Otherwise you will get water in it when the lens retracts. We thought we could get it to work by drying it out but now realize that when we heard a final dying high pitched gasp it was breathing its last. We took it to be fixed but it would cost twice as much as it was worth when new! Now to learn how to use a new camera. These shots are all experiments. I'm suppose to be working--and I guess this constitutes work, doesn't it?
