Done with the drapes

We decided to put up some outdoor curtains on our pergola, to block out the heat of the west-setting sun. After searching online, the cost for ready-made was sky high, so I proceeded to make them myself. I've never attempted something like this before but I figured that with it being just a lot of straight seams, how hard could it be?? Well, it definitely wasn't rocket science, but it sure was a lot of fabric to handle! It turned out to be much more time consuming than I had planned, and involved a lot of trips up and down the stairs to the ironing board. But they turned out fine and they do the job perfectly. I amused myself by watching old movies while I was stitching away...

Cute little bird feeder

This is the pretty bird feeder hanging in the trees in our back yard. Hailey made it for us for Easter!

Goin' GaGa for Paul!

Third time was a charm Tuesday night, when Sir Paul came to town! It was a fabulous concert and it was my third time seeing him in person. {lucky girl}  Rumor had it that Lady GaGa was going to be the opening act, but it was all Paul for more than 3 hours, non-stop.  He was so awesome - singing, playing bass guitar, banjo, ukelele, electric guitar, piano.....he still sounds and looks so good! {sigh}  So many great songs that have stood the test of time, some for nearly 50 years! 

 

The outdoor stadium in SLC was sold out with 24,000 people and everyone really got into it - singing along, cheering, clapping. Paul seemed to be enjoying it as much as the audience! The guys in his band are so super-talented & entertaining, and he said it was a special night for them because it was their 200th show together.

There were three encores and by the end, people were going crazy. So exciting!!! The entire show was fantastic, complete with incredible lighting, video, fireworks and tons of confetti pouring out over the crowd.

A perfect summer night ~
