I finished up stitching on a round robin today. I've had it for quite some time and should've finished it a long while ago. I really don't have a good reason for not finishing it sooner. There just always seemed to be other gifts and things to stitch. It belongs to a good stitching friend of mine and I don't think she minded too much. At least if she did she didn't tell me...lol. Anyway, it's really beautiful and I know she's gonna love it once she gets it back. All it needs is a house stitched in the center and then there's some beading to be done. It still needs a pair of snails as well. I stitched a portion of the bottom left. She's gonna add thesnails for me as they require french knots and I don't know how to do those. I've tried to teach myself with no luck. I know how to do every other stitch under the sun except for french knots. It's a mystery to me as to why I can't do them. When they're required in something I'm stitching I usually use beads instead. I have quite a collection of Mill Hill beads so finding the right color isn't much of a problem.
I want to do something fun with the kids tomorrow but I don't know what. I was thinking of taking them to that new penguin movie. I think it's called Surf's Up. I still want to see the new Pirates movie too. I noticed Harry Potter starts July 11th. I know we'll see that one....at least Mike & I will. I've noticed previews for a rat movie opening the end of this month that looks pretty funny. The kids both want to see that one. I've noticed that every summer they put the really great movies out. Joshua wants to see that new Fantastic 4 movie but I'm not sure what that one's rated. They said something today about wanting to go fishing. They're gonna have to wait for Mike on that one. I don't eat fish and I don't catch them...I just have them for pets..LOL. We've taken them fishing before. They even have their own poles. They think it's great fun to put a worm on a hook. For the most part I just watch the birds or stare at the water..LOL.

That is a really beautiful rr. I can't stitch French knots either and unusually bribe someone to do them for me!
