I've been making yogurt for at least 15 years. I always use whole milk and add a little yogurt. I started out with a storebought starter and then just saved a little of my own from each batch to use as the starter for the next batch. Sometimes we run out or I got a couple of weeks between batches and then I start over with a fresh storebought starter. Noosa Lemon Yogurt is my prefered starter. The ...
Anniversary Dinner
I got what I asked for - pizza from Little Caesar's. Vince even admitted it was good. Yesterday I cooked a special meal that Vince likes and today was my day. Probably not right that we each get a day to do what we want but . . it worked out this year. A lot of years when in Texas, we would go to Abilene, eat somewhere nice, go to T. J. Max (which Vince LOVED), maybe go to a big grocery ...
A Changed World Progress
After a bit of outside work, I'm back inside, cooled off, hands scrubbed and ready to start the afternoon stitching. Here's where I am on A Changed World. I was tired of working in the scroll frame so I took the top off the bar and am holding that in hand.

Just seeing multiples makes Vince feel better. We need backups to our backups! When Vince came to visit me in Missouri, he brought two printers from Texas and set them both up. Shortly after he left, ...
Rooster Alphabet
This morning when I started Rooster Alphabet, I made a few changes. This isn't a change but the designer suggested one strand of floss on 32 count fabric. "To get the light, open texture that you see .." and he went on to suggest the one strand of floss. I was apprehensive about 1 strand of cotton floss on 32 count but thought I would try it on one row of the alphabet and see what I ...
Master Gardener Book
Friday UPS or Fed Ex delivered a package. Of course, Vince was giving me the evil eye when he went to the door. Thoughts were racing through my mind . . what did I order? I usually am tracking everything and know what's coming. As he was going to the door, he said "I didn't order anything!" I said "I don't think I ordered anything!" He came and and said "Office Depot" like . . gotcha! I ...
