Hi everyone, I hope you are all enjoying the weekend. Oops, I just looked at the clock and  it is 4 minutes into Monday!

I haven’t been around for a few days as I’ve been so busy working but thought it only fair to break my silence to accept the Versatile Bogger Award from byhookorbypen. Thanks to both of the lovely authors for nominating my blog. They have two blogs, one features crochet and the other is devoted to the Titanic. Pop over and see them for yourselves :-)

Now I know there are some people who

One machine? No way!

03 Jun 2012 | Other RSS posts by

I told Jim several people had emailed me and/or posted asking what machine I would choose from our collection to take along in the RV this time.  He wrinkled up his face, looked at me funny and said, “how is one machine going to be enough?”

!!!!

And who says you can’t train an old dog?  I LOVE it! Anyone remember me trying to talk Jim into letting me put one of the sewing machine cabinets in the RV and the response was always NO!  I bet I could have two cabinets now!

We got a tenth of an inch of rain this

Where Did That Come From?

03 Jun 2012 | Other RSS posts by

I had a ton of errands to run yesterday: gas station, pet supply store, quilt shop (which wasn't necessary, but I had to pass right by it--you think I wasn't going to stop?), and finally to Home Depot to return the pesticide that exploded (see "When Beetles Attack" below). Well, I didn't close my eyes in time. I spotted some small nandinas that I deemed just right to plant in the back yard to discourage Skipper's infernal digging. So I got six of them. That's all they had.

Then I thought I probably needed some garden soil to fill in the
