Continue reading →: Things didn’t go as planned.We had a great Thanksgiving with the family. I did a good amount of online shopping Friday and got outside for more leaf blowing Saturday. After that I started restocking the firewood next to the house. I was on my last trip and picked up one piece and that’s when…

Continue reading →: November AudiobooksNovember has to be one of the most disappointing reading months ever. I wasted a lot of hours on two books that I eventually DNFed. I only finished 4 books.

Continue reading →: That wasn’t fun, but it worked.The third set of cards is taking a lot longer than I wanted! Creating the three “texture” sheets on the Cricut required a lot of learning.

Continue reading →: Veterans quiltsYesterday started with my annual eye exam. Something happened there that hasn’t happened in 40 years! This will be my third year with the same prescription. For most of my life I have had to get a new prescription every year. That gets expensive! There was a time when I…
