Vince. He isn't normal, is he? One of us can't be and I know I'm normal! :) Vince has a habit of starting a conversation and then just stopping right in the middle of a sentence . Sometimes I'll say "Was there more?" Sometimes I just ignore it. The other day . . Vince: I'm getting the RTV keys and . . . . long pause. I was on my way out the door. I stopped and waited for a second or ...
Yarn Arrival
Sheri from The Loopy Ewe has been doing some Facebook Live videos. The other day she was talking about color combinations.

Addie & A Chicken
Here's a funny video that I hope will bring a smile in the midst of another crazy news day. https://youtu.be/YMALIZnOgJI They got more chickens. I can't help but laughing because Chad has given me so much grief about my chickens. Now, every time they go past a farm supply type store, they get another chicken or two. When they got the new ones, I asked Chad if Addie still loved Bridgette ...
