The new Spray Park in town!

Centennial Park in Davenport, Iowa is located on the banks of the Mississippi with beautiful views in every direction.  It includes a skate park, a dog park, gazebo and more!  This year they added Spray Park!  My daughter and her friend Abbey and I had a lovely afternoon there today!  I highly recommend a visit to the new Spray Park located in Centennial Park!

Me! Stephanie.

What a fun way to spend an afternoon  with my girls! 

Thanks again to my dear friend  Monica for her hospitality!

Looky what I found!

Just yesterday my 14 year old daughter, Sophie and I were out for a drive with her new permit. Look what someone in the neighborhood was throwing out! This gorgeous hand stitched, time worn quilt!  Even my daughter knew to pull over so mom could pick this treasure from the curb!

Our vehicle stops for good trash!

Felix gives this find a two paws up!

I just don't understand why some one would throw such a treasure away!  There are a few little stains and rips, the back is a pieced together crazy quilt and I wouldn't have chosen the binding they used. BUT, it's a handmade treasure none the less!

The crafter probably made do with what they had and I love it!  It may become pillows and other cute stuffed shapes eventually, but for now, I think I'll just enjoy it as is.
