What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Vince found this article about a bank in Oronogo, MO that was robbed by Bonnie & Clyde in 1932. I found it interesting and thought some of you might. We drove by the site yesterday afternoon, it’s probably three miles from our house. My grandma would tell me stories about Bonnie and Clyde. The two...

I wish I didn’t feel like I have to say this but I do so I will. This is NOT virtue signaling. I understand that there are less expensive ways/places to buy food, but compared to eating out, buying food directly from the producer and cooking/eating at home is still less expensive in most cases....

Yesterday I picked a few things out of the garden. The potatoes in the colander – they were Yukon Gold from Sam’s Club and a couple of them had sprouted. I had three 5 gallon buckets that I had used for growing tomatoes last year so I cut off the sprouts and stuck two of...

Time spent in the kitchen, the garden and cross stitching or knitting is all about on an equal level. I love doing all those things. I feel like cross stitching gives me more to show for my effort. Knitting is a bit slower and looking at a half finished knitting project doesn’t excite me as...

We all probably agree that as we get older, time seems to fly by so quickly. This morning I woke up and while I was still there in bed, I thought to myself . . is today Tuesday? No. Can’t be. I went to Nevada yesterday to stitch with Debbie so today has to be...

These last few days have been busy and time has flown by. I can hardly believe it’s Friday . . seems like yesterday was Monday. Today we have a G.E. rep coming by to look at our fridge. Good timing . . the freezer has completely stopped working and the fridge is hanging at a...

Most all of my days are really good but today has been super good. First, I had mentioned that I hadn’t been able to find info about one of my dad’s siblings and my very long time friend, Sheryl, sent me a link to this site that she uses for ancestry type searches. This was...

I’m not complaining. I think this is sad but funny. Here are some recent examples of packages headed here: The one above went from Kansas City to Springfield to Kansas City to Springfield. Still has not arrived here. I don’t even remember where this package was coming from but it went to St. Louis, which...

I know – today is Wednesday . . and it’s getting late on Wednesday but yesterday, there was no stopping spot once I got started. Vince had been asking for Migas for breakfast so that’s what we had for breakfast Tuesday morning. Of course, they aren’t HARD to make but there’s a lot of chopping...

At 4 p.m. I thought I would be stitching and have hours and hours of stitching. It’s now 7 p.m. and I have yet to take a stitch. Why? Because my friend down the road made cookies and sent me a photo of them. You know how this story ends. I had been thinking of...

I knew it would be but I was still concerned because, as Vince says, I worry about everything. I don’t know how we first found Josh but when we bought this house, there were two Bradford Pears – one on each side of the driveway.We wanted those gone immediately. There were the two Callery Pears...

I had to laugh at myself yesterday. Vince had posted a video and I think I shared it here where a lab or some calm dog was sleeping and a Jack Russell was running and running and making circles around him. The caption was “Can someone take the batteries out?” That’s how I felt yesterday....

It’s good to be busy and a day spent having to leave the house several times will be good. I usually don’t want to leave the house I’m ready to get out for a day. First, our Azure pickup is at 8 a.m. We will have to be there by 7:45. Hopefully the truck will...

I always want to share good news stories, especially when I’ve shared bad news stories about the same incidents. Remember when our love seat was picked up and the new recliner delivered and we were NOT happy with the delivery people? It was those same guys who had picked it up that delivered it today...

I did spend a bit of time in the garden this morning and still have to go out and bring most of my new plants back in the house. We’re going to have wind and rain and hail and hopefully nothing worse over the next couple of days but it’s also going to drop back...

Yes, Easter with Elmer’s Chocolate Eggs in Louisiana and not in Missouri . . desperate times for this girl! Don’t ask me why I love these and I am NOT a chocolate fan. Every time I say that, Vince says “You eat chocolate all the time.” I do not. I like Almond Joy and Snickers...

Right! There are only about 5 million “great craft projects” I would like to start but this one REALLY caught my eye! Last night I was watching Homemade on the Ridge’s Flosstube (#12). What I thought was going to cause me to go shopping was the floss organization system she was showing and I will...

I know my problems are small compared to many but today (Thursday) was our furniture delivery day. Actually, delivery was one recliner. They were taking away the loveseat we bought last year and it is going to an upholstery guy to re-stuff the cushions and they were hauling away our old sofa. The furniture store...

Today was such a good day here. First, Chad was here about 8 a.m. with his pickup and trailer to help Vince empty out a storage building. When we started in October, 2020, we had three 10 x 20 storage buildings rented. At some point, we emptied one – probably when Vince got his shop...

Our dogs love taking long walks in the mornings but with these temps, they were so fast this morning. I bundled up with a heavy coat, mittens, and a cap thinking we would be out for a while but I think I would have been fine without even a jacket. We were in an out...
