Last night I was thinking about how much I enjoy cross stitching and how different it is from the feelings I got while quilting. I loved quilt making - especially when I was putting blocks together and making quilts from ideas I came up with but cutting fabric and putting it back together was always fun and exciting for me. With cross stitching, I started because of reproduction samplers. Those ...
Good News Stories
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 and they could not have been nicer. They chatted a bit and were very friendly and efficient. I ...

My sister was telling Chad about a taxidermist we went to school with and Chad said "She is back ...

He keeps his eyes on me when he's doing something he knows he shouldn't be doing . . like he thinks if he locks his eyes on me, I can't see what he's doing. They don't often get to play with toys because Oscar gets aggressive with his. ...
Not REALLY Buying??
You have to go watch this video before you read any farther. I hope everyone can see it. I can't stop watching it but I am a Dachshund lover so it may not be so funny to non-dachshund fans. Vince is actually the one who found the video and sent it to me. We have both watched it dozens of times! This morning we had been to town and while we were away, the mail came. There was a package for me ...
