This is a sad post but I feel like many of you have followed us on the journey with Rita and I wanted to share this. A couple of weeks ago, she started walking in circles . . for 15 or 20 minutes, almost spinning in circles. I would hold her and think maybe she...

This morning, I didn't sleep well. So, I was up and ready to go. I got a few things done before heading to moms. It's quilting Friday. Mom's Friday group is an applique group. Normally I don't like taking a lot over and having to bring it back so I decided I would work on one of mom's Block of the Month quilts.
Mom ordered this in 2018. She falls in love with some of Debbie M's quilt designs and orders the block of the month. She ordered her most recent one. So, we ...
read moreI had mentioned that it was going to rain yesterday, today, Friday, Saturday AND Sunday. Yesterday it started raining before I was ready . . bad Mother Nature! I ran out, in the rain, a added blood meal to the garlic and before I had even finished, the rain stopped. That was it for yesterday’s...
read moreSadly news in the Kramer family…Early last week my son Buck was getting out of the shower, slipped, fell, and broke two ribs. UGH. Nothing takes a strong man down like broken ribs. I saw it in my Dad. I saw it in my husband…and full circle, now I’m seeing it in my son. Broken …
read moreThere's a new baby in the extended family. Robin's siter Kaye recently became a grandmother for the first time, when baby Jack arrived. That was exciting news, making Jack our great nephew, I think. I had already sent the new Mum and baby a colourful baby quilt, and then decided to knit him something. Time was moving on, and babies grow so quickly, don't they.
I decided to knit the cozy little Jessie Jacket, designed by Kiwi Stitch and Knit Co.. This is knitted in a combination of stocking stitch and garter stitch, and has a little ...
read moreThis morning Chad, Addie and Nicole drove down. Chad drove his pickup and trailer and his purpose for coming was to help Vince clean out our rented storage units. There are two left to be cleaned out but they are double size – 10 x 20 I think. But, before the cleaning and sorting began,...
read moreI have been very busy this past week. It was a good week, just busy. I started and finished a custom quilting job, but it’s going to a guild challenge, so can’t share just yet, tho I doubt any of the guild members are reading this. Probably better safe than sorry. I started yet another… Continue reading The Highlight of my Week
read moreI had a busy weekend. I worked from 6:40 am to 5:10 pm on Friday. I got home and shortly after that, my adult kids and grandkids started arriving. A wonderful man in our area passed away and I wanted to go to the wake. My adult sons, Karl and Buck, wanted to go as …

read moreI could measure (or try to measure) both dogs and see how long they are but, to me, Cooper looks SO much longer than Oscar. It may be because Oscar is quite a bit wider than Oscar. (Don’t tell Oscar I said that!) but sometimes, I look at Cooper and have to do a double...
read moreThis morning Patrick woke me early. So, I was up and ready to go. I enjoyed an hour before taking my shower.
Then I played some games. I felt good, till I took my meds and then my bp came down. That's not fun. We did get our walk in before having to leave to the playhouse. I wasn't feeling up to it most of the day. We went to see the play "Noise, Off" and it was really good. Patrick paid for mom, Nancy, brother Patrick, Christine, and us. It was really good and I laughed through ...
read moreI know there are a lot of dog posts on here lately but they are a huge part of my life and, other than an hour or so in the garden, a bit of cooking, these days my time is mostly spent with the dogs and Boots. Yesterday was the “sit and stitch” day at...
read moreThere’s a fleece type pink blanket that I keep on the sofa in the basement and that’s what I use to cover my legs and feet on chilly nights when I’m sitting and stitching. Both dogs love it but Cooper wants to chew on it . . and everything else. When they’re sitting on my...
read moreThat didn’t go so well! The tranquilizers said “Give one pill at least one hour before appointment.” I didn’t know I was supposed to give it to him on an empty stomach. I had given him half of one several weeks ago when Chad, Nicole and Addie were coming over and I guess it was...
read moreThese two little dogs keep me busy but they are so cute when they get tired and sleepy. They just keep getting closer as the night goes on. While I was trying to get a picture, I disturbed Cooper and he moved a bit but Oscar was out. I’m so surprised at how much Oscar...
read moreYesterday evening I was cross stitching and Cooper popped his head between the frame and the linen like h was thinking . . can’t you stop stitching and play with me? He’s the cutest little guy. He’s getting close to being 9 months old and he’s still an energetic puppy but he’s a sweet, snuggly...
read moreIt has been a hot minute since I’ve blogged consistently so I figure it’s like starting over now. My blog was primarily about quilting and while I have a lot to say on that subject, my life is quite different now so I figure my blog will be a bit different as well. So if you are looking for solely quilting… this may not be the blog for you. I will also bring you on my journey of (for lack of a better word) “enlightenment”. I apologize that this may not be linear.
I started my quilting business ...
read moreGood morning, my friends. It was a short drive with plenty going on yesterday. We find ourselves in Fort Stockton, Texas, for three nights (two now).
Good morning, my friends. It was a short drive with plenty going on yesterday. We find ourselves in Fort Stockton, Texas, for three nights (two now).
This wasn’t funny when it was happening but I can’t stop laughing about it now. Vince had taken Rita out this morning and he came back and said “She was just walking along and all of a sudden she stopped and wouldn’t put any weight on her left front leg. She was holding it straight...
read moreGood morning, my friends, and Happy Easter to all who celebrate.
I'll admit that Easter is kind of a non-event around here, except that Matthew has a birthday coming up on April 2nd. He'll hit the big 4-0 this year. Every year since his birth, I've checked to see if Easter would fall on his birthday. So far, it hasn't. And since Easter baskets are no longer a part of our lives, Easter gets short shrift. Nevertheless, I remember attending Easter sunrise services with my mom, especially when my dad was deployed to Vietnam. She often ...
