Did I happen to mention that I have recently found my sewing machine again and I am LOVING it? I forgot how therapeutic it is for me to sew. I just adore the construction and the process of creating with fabric…combining the colors and the textures into items we use.
I know…I should be [...]

I have a good friend who is Amish. I have learned so much from here and I continues to amaze me how much we have in common. If I could imagine giving up my precious computer, I swear I could be Amish. Maybe in another life…

Hubby and I celebrated 20 years of marital bliss (well…MOSTLY!) on Friday. We celebrated quietly because we are boring people…but that was fine with us. Good meal…TWO bouquets of flowers (one long-stemmed roses)…and our healthy brood there for us to enjoy.
