The full moon on New Years sets in the Western Sky outside my window. Could this be a good luck charm for a new year?

A Tale of Two Fabrics…err Two Stores?…err Two Fabric Cutters?
A few really interesting things happened last night that I'm dying to share with you all. First is my most amazing fabric purchasing experience at Hobby Lobby.

For some reason we are on a wild… Continue reading A Tale of Two Fabrics…err Two Stores?…err Two Fabric Cutters?
“Get on your boots…baby…we are going to town!”
"How many more do I have of these" I said to myself after taking number 5 off of the machine. I turn the little television set on to give me some noise. A smart local newscaster announces that the band U2 is in town to start their North American leg of their 360 tour. I… Continue reading “Get on your boots…baby…we are going to town!”
Just a quick update on MTD
Just a quick update on MTD. I received the blood and urine reports this past Monday and talked to Dr. Schwartz.

Poor guy is walking… Continue reading Just a quick update on MTD

It just… Continue reading Cerulean Blue
Waterfall Chasing
I had no idea Oregon had so many waterfalls. Seriously. I'm completely mesmerized now. During my family's reunion I found a book on a shelf inside the rented house with things to do in the area. Featured were many outdoor activities including hikes along the many back road trails. I didn't have the needed clothes… Continue reading Waterfall Chasing
Groovy Estate Sale Finds
I just love Estate Sales. They are so fun, or at least they have the potential to be. One person's discards is another person's treasure. I found myself early this morning thinking I might want to check out a few nearby. I packed up the dog, planned my route and headed out. I usually just… Continue reading Groovy Estate Sale Finds
