Psalm 14:5 God Help the Fools, Fiber Fun, Literary Living, Finding Joy from Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer

Hello There,

This has been a beautiful week - despite the challenges facing my loved ones. We got two days with my grandbabies - ages ten years to sixteen years. My granddaughter and I shopped, laughed, giggled, sang to songs on KLove and even purchased these micro containers of Vaseline for her friends as they return to school! They will certainly help deal with chapped lips.

We enjoyed Taco Salad, Pizza, fudge, banana splits and even played two games of Life! Do you remember playing Life?

Take good care and, as Daddy used to say,

"Make memories; it's later than you ...

It was made for my great great grandfather John Davis Cassada when he was born by his mother Lucy and his aunts. Many were single or widowed from the Civil War. All the initials are attributable to family members. They were very thrilled to have a male ...

Yo-Yo Flower Basket from Ann Quilts

This lovely quilt came to me for washing - it had met with a disaster or two that had left stains. I'm happy to say that I got the stains out.

The quilt is huge, about 112" square, so the full quilt photos were especially tricky. So was laying it out to dry, because it was not much smaller than the plastic drop cloth I use at drying time and had to be positioned just-so.

Isn't this quilt lovely? Springtime personified. A good thing to post here in the Chicago area where winter snow came early and we are ...
