The blog is needing some repairs. I told my blog lady that I would stay off it til she tells me I can get back on so . . didn't want anyone wondering what happened to me because you know . . it's not normal for me to be quiet! :) I'll be back as soon as things are fixed. ...
Filling in the Background
Yesterday afternoon and last night I worked on filling in the background on the text box. When I started yesterday, I had 12 rows to fill in. I now have 4-1/2 rows to fill in. I am going to finish that today! I also got the birds on the lower flowers stitched, finished most of the section above the text box and got the birds on top of the yellow flowers stitched. If all goes as planned ...

But, my GP felt it better that I ...

A Christmas Lunch, Photo, and a Bit of Shopping

I guess it was Christmas, 2021 when the virus was still running rampant and they had it set up with a drive through of sorts where you picked it all up to go. We did that so, I guess we just missed 2022. So, we went today. We ...
