Fantasy
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…

A New Area of Study
Are any of you out there wool workers? Before this trip to the Buggy Barn, I had no idea what wool work was all about. What an eye opening experience. I am in love. The photo above is my class project, which was entirely constructed to the point as shown in the few hours of…

Initially, we intended only to sign up for the two quilt classes offered by Paula Barnes of Red Crinoline Quilts (formerly Bonnie Blue Quilts). Both of us are crazy for Civil War reproduction fabrics and…

This is called "Italian Wedding Cake with Seasonal Berries, Meringue, Zabaglione, and Berry Compote". Amazing. I had it at a very popular restaurant called Rose Pistola. In…

Home Again
We had a marvelous vacation last week, and arrived safely back home in time for a little Father's Day barbeque. The lake in the photo above is Mosquito Lake, which we passed on our way home. Since it was Father's Day, we indulged my son in law a stop. He just couldn't resist. This guy…

Having a wonderful time. Wish you were here! Yesterday we just hung out by the pool and relaxed. We took Baby E in the water and she loved it, the little fishy. Today we are planning a picnic at Fallenleaf Lake, and an afternoon massage for Sara and I. It is so lovely to be…
