Here are the promised photos of the Welcome Home quilt that finally got quilted and bound. This one doesn’t have a permanent home yet. I will keep it and enjoy it until I find someone that needs it. This photo was taken with the help of my two companions. Ember was intent on watching another…

Hey all! I’m still here, just not posting much. Mostly today, I just wanted to get a few words and photos down. This corona virus quarantine isn’t that much different from my normal life, except that EVERYONE is home ALL THE TIME! Which means more work for me! I’m amazed that five people can go…

This year, we didn’t have time to do our normal Halloween traditions. My husband loves to carve intricate and creative designs on pumpkins, and this was the first year in 25 that he didn’t get to do that! I guess that’s what happens when you are almost an empty-nester. Rachel, who just turned 16, was…
