For ladawn,
I don't have equipment to send pics. You might get Janell to send the horse riding pics from
last September. We took the grandkids to visit Janell for horseback riding. Bubba is such a
great and patient horse. None of the kids (ages 8, 9, 12,13) had ever ridden anything but
a shetland pony being led by an adult at the Lincoln Zoo. By the end of the day they were all
riding by themselves and had Bubba up to a trot. Jacob is still trying to talk his other Grandpa
into boarding a horse for him. We had taken them fishing in the morning. Kendra caught a
couple of little fish. Since they werent biting, that got kind of boring.
We try to do something special with just the grandkids on Grandparents day. It is getting
harder to find something they all enjoy since the age difference is really starting to become
a factor.

As for the t-shirt quilt. You cut the logos on the front of the shirts to an equal size, about 17"
square, back them with pellon interfacing. Then cut them to 15" squares. Put strips between them and continue as you would any other quilt. Myrna made one without putting strips
between the blocks and that worked too. A full size quilt takes about 30 t-shirts. I found instructions on the internet.

You're going to end up with a computer at home, yet! :D If you did, you would be able to download those pictures off of your camera onto the computer!

When you get pics developed they usually give you an option to get a cd. this is a more economically and environementally sound option. Besides then you get them on the blog!

Thanks for the t-shirt instructions. I'm going to give this a go! I think my sister made one of these with her husband's numerous university/fraternity t-shirts.
