August 30, 2009
We couldn't have had a more beautiful day for a picnic! Thank you, xochismallbear for organizing this and feeding us AND FOR THE GOODIE BAGS! You truly put my sewing skills to shame! :sweatdrop: It was 85 degrees with a light breeze. So nice that I don't think I even broke a sweat. It is really making my look forward to this fall, when the weather is even more favorable! We snacked and visited on the lawn of the Denton County Courthouse. Evidently, that is perfectly normal because there were a ton of people doing the same thing!

Since I forgot my camera, I borrowed a pic from insecurelobster .

I didn't know about loli_valentines  until I was told about it yesterday at one of our meetups. I was specifically told about this post.



I am deeply touched and this made my morning.  Whoever you are, you are more than welcome to grab your sewing machine play in our living room with us anytime!
