Boy, is she red!

Sorry, it's just when I took this picture, it made me realize just how red Ann Sandles is.

I guess Ann liked red just as much as I do!  I took the liberty of sticking my initials in under the lefthand tree.  The father type's initials were already there on the left, so I decided mine should be there too.

Ann is coming along!

Here is my TUSAL for July 1.

Okay, okay, here it really is.

I always squish the orts down as they accumulate -- that's all my orts for this year so far.

If you're wondering, yes, I sneaked in another peak at part of my pincushion collection with the first TUSAL pic.  That's a pincushion/doll from Nicol Sayre, one of my favorite doll artists.  She's amazing!  After these two pincushions, though, my collection really isn't that much more.  And no antique pincushions, sadly.  I'll show more another time.

The boy child likes to torture Mia, as you know.  Here is Mia looking very resigned as she's held captive by the boy child.

Silly boy child!

Well, the girl child is back on her college campus, ready to start her summer job down there.  I'm hoping all goes well and she enjoys the job.  Poor girl child was held captive in her room by the mean Mia when she was attempting to pack up to leave.  I think the poor girl child is very sad about the whole thing with Mia.  Wish there was something we could do.

And Wimbledon ended with a new men's and women's champion: Novak Djokovic defeated Rafa Nadal, and Petra Kvitova defeated Maria Sharpova.  So many great matches this year -- it was a great Wimbledon!  I was sad that Murray lost to Nadal though.  Now for some tennis withdrawal.  lol!

Hope everyone in the US has a great 4th of July!  Mia wishes everyone a great week ahead too.  Thanks for stopping by and saying hi!
