Quilting

Published on November 14, 2011 By Administrator

So–I’ve wanted to learn to quilt since I can remember.  I have always admired those who could, and watched a few minutes of a quilting show or two, here or there, marveling at skill and patience and designs and artistic ability of quilters…not to mention that most of the women that I know who do [...]

What If You Met Your Future?

I’ve been in a little funk as of late…but today I am feeling a bit more myself…and back to blogging.  (I guess that old saying that you can’t drink from a well that is dry is really true, eh?  Well, my well’s been a little dry lately…!)  So, sending my apologies along with Happy Monday [...]

Last week, we ventured out to a fabulous local park. This park has so many amazing activities–swings, slides, an AstroTurf hill to climb & slide down, moving balance beams, a spider web, a water pump, and a butterfly garden.  As we were leaving the park, though, our six-year-old discovered a butterfly on a plant. The [...]

My Second Childhood…

Yesterday, I started wearing braces. Now, it is not unusual that adults get braces to straighten their teeth, but I wore braces 37 years ago. This time, I wear braces because we need to place an implant. So, I have decided that since I am getting new teeth, and now braces, I am living proof [...]

I Like to WHAT?

Published on November 9, 2009 By Administrator

Work.  Yes, you read that right.  I didn’t always feel this way.  Believe me.  I worked very hard to get out of doing work when I was younger.  My mother used to tell me that if I spent half the energy working on whatever task was at hand as I spent trying to get out [...]
