Can you guess in what place I am taking this picture? It is from the inside of this vintage travel trailer that was at the Buggy Barn quilt show! It was hard to get a good picture, due to all the people crowding around, trying to get inside for a look! It has been a…

Scraps Give-Away
I just have to share this blurry picture of Ozzie and Remy. They had been playing tug of war with a tennis ball, both of them hanging on for dear life, when by some silent signal, they both stopped tugging and dropped the ball between them. After a bit of panting, they were at it…
