Life In A Mostly Empty Campground and Primrose Lane Baby Annie

This week they closed off Campground #2 at Elijah Clark.  (Our Campground)  It is giving Billy and I a chance to tidy up areas that we left undone while so many campers were around.  The VERY best part is that we are up here, in the woods, by the lake with all of these beautiful wild animals ALL by ourselves.  Yes, "Life is Good Today!"  Speaking of animals, Maggie May became sick after Lincoln and Phil stayed with us last week.  I thought that it was psychosomatic, but she probably got into "something" while I was enjoying the park with the two grandsons and not watching her as closely as usual.  She had a massive stomach upset from both ends and by Sunday morning had quit eating or drinking.  A trip to the emergency vet was in order.  Four medications and forced fluids through a medicine dropper later she began to improve.

It is SOOOOOOO blasted hot here that we have to be very careful not to dehydrate and overheat.  We can only be outside for short bursts of time.  Soooooooooo I have been sewing for that precious little grand daughter again.  This little goodie was made with fabric and rick rack purchased from http://farmhousefabrics.com/ using Baby Annie by Primrose Lane
(http://www.chadwickheirlooms.com/products/baby-annie) as a pattern.  I think it turned out real cute.
