We harvested from the garden for the first time yesterday. Cay you believe how big the zucchini are? Think there's some zucchini bread in my future...
Toben took me to see Nancy Drew yesterday. It's down to only one showing a day, so I figured we needed to go before it leaves the theater. It was fantastic! If you've not seen it yet, go. We didn't take the girls because I'd heard it was a little suspensful and it was the right decision. The movie was totally clean and Audrey would be fine to see it--on a small screen in daylight. But sitting in a dark theater with a big screen and watching Nancy crawl through dark passageways waiting for someone to pop out and get her would've been too much.
They left it open for another movie, so please, please, movie people--make another one!
Nancy's clothes were adorable ("I made them from some old patterns that belonged to my mother," she says) and I'm going to sew some button flowers on a cardigan or two for fall. And I bought a new headband today and see more in my future. Yep, definitely go see it--for Nancy's cute vintage wardrobe if nothing else!
Speaking of movies, our library has wonderful movies--for free! Last week I watched To Catch a Thief, which I love and have seen countless times, and High Society, a Grace Kelly film I'd not seen before. Grace Kelly, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong. It was the last film she made before marrying Prince Ranier and become a princess. Lots of beautiful clothes there too.
We're off to Breckenridge for a mini vacation for the next few days...I'm taking my computer along for the girls to watch movies, but I'm not sure how much blogging will happen. More tomorrow...or when we get back!
I am glad you wrote that about the Nancy wardrobe thing. I took my 9 year old daughter to see that, and we LOVED it. (hope they make more) I too loved her clothes, as did my daughter. I would like to see what you come up with, I am interested for my daughter too.:) She played the part perfectly.

Have fun at Breckenridge!
I have missed reading your blog...and am anticipating getting together, now that I've figured out how the swimming thing will go. I now have a plan! With floaties for the two younger and the two older swim, I think I can safely say, "Yes we can swim without too much ado."
So glad you enjoyed Nancy Drew...it was really good! I can't wait to see the things you create, which the movie inspired--some vintage treasures for sure.
Talk with you when you get back!
With love and prayer,
Holly

Have a lovely trip! Your girls are so pretty-just like their Mom!
I think I am ready to conquer my fears. Help! I think I want to sew!!! Wow. It took a lot to write that sentence. Are you interested at all in helping poor, pathetic me?
