Summer Vacation

I am enjoying my summer vacation. Not growing a garden this year...doesn't seem very prudent in a year when we have had less than half an inch of rain since last September.

I am training for my black belt test which is tentatively set for September, (no official date from Master Downs as yet) and working on several quilting and sewing projects that people at work and others have asked me to do. That, and my church activities, are keeping me busier than I imagined. I am also doing the daily breviary (I have the four volume set) and going to daily Mass again.

Oh, and rediscovering the joy of swimming laps - I must be part fish. This past week I've been over to the TTU Rec Sports lap pool every day, swimming at least a mile a day (that's 36 laps or if you are walking or jogging, 4 miles). Only when you swim, you burn about 700 calories!

Now if I could sell some quilts, so my husband would let me stay home all the time and do this!
