Babkick Store and wrapped chocolate

Ellie told her mom, Laura, that she wanted to go to the 'babkick' store. Laura had no clue what a 'babkick' store was. All day Ellie kept asking Laura to go to the 'babkick' store. Laura asked her what they sell at a 'babkick' store. Ellie said, "chocolate in a wrapper." Laura still couldn't figure out what a 'babkick' store was. When at the grocery store, Ellie asked again. Laura asked Ellie what else they sell at a 'babkick' store. Ellie said, "You know. That stuff grandma uses to make my butterfly blankie." She wanted to go to a fabric store. :) During the summer I took the three girls to JoAnn's while Laura was at the temple. I told them if they were really good, they could have a treat. JoAnn's just happens to sell candy bars or 'chocolate in a wrapper.'

This and That

Ok, so I'm not so good at keeping up on this blog. What can I say? Evidently, not much.

I'm working on Ellie's birthday quilt. I make a youth size quilt for the grandchildren when they turn 3. Ellie's will be a butterfly quilt because she LOVES butterflies. I have the blocks assembled and ready to sew into rows. I really like this qult. If I had a camera, I would take pictures. :( The next grandchild won't turn 3 for two years.

One large quilt is done and waiting for the quilter. After Ellie's quilt is pieced I'll start on Charlie and Michelle's.

The beans are done, the onion tops have been knocked over and I only have a few beets left in the garden. I have been harvesting small orange tomatoes that are so sweet. I love to eat them as I'm picking them.

We are going to Yellowstone again. YAY! Eugene found a cabin with a kitchenette in Gardiner, MT. We are going to stay there for three nights and spend our days in the park. Eugene will look for elk to take pictures of. I'll sit in the car and quilt Ellie's quilt. When the kids were still at home, Eugene would spend several days in the park by himself in the fall. Now I go with him. It is so relaxing. I love it!
