Thanks to all for my birthday greetings. I tried and mostly succeeded in having a day filled with my favorite people and activities. Hot, hot, hot here, so some of the outdoor activities got postponed.
Just walked the long driveway to put the garbage out at almost dark. Coming back, I was using my pickup stick to chuck limbs and pine cones over into the woods. As I reached for one more pine cone, he jumped - a frog. Okay, no more putting garbage out a
Windows 10 update. Did you get yours yet? Mine took over 2 and a half hours - can't figure out why. Really irritating to be suddenly "disabled" from use. Nothing really quirky so far, except my online screens look different - cleaner. Good luck.
Kittens everywhere. I am perturbed. Some mother cat has camped out under my back porch with her five kittens - they appear to be about 3 months old, One isblack and the other four orange and all quite fluffy. My sons visited today, and one both fed the
No picture, but I sewed my first valance today since 39 years ago when I was making my first baby's nursery! It was supposed to be a simple red gingham check valance, but girls, that was the most unlevel, awful fabric I ever tried to stitch a straight l
Computer running sluggish? Have you run your disk cleaning utilities and still sluggish? I just picked up my laptop sideways and I guess I gave it a little shake as I sat down to log into Cute. I got brownie crumbs. Go check yours!
I think we were all scared to post a prank for April Fool's Day because it is a high and holy day, too. (Easter) The best fakeout I saw was Where's Waldo showing up in Google maps! First runner up, our pastor claimed at the late service, that he greet
Tumbled the whole sewing room today to remove two outdated machines and put two nicer, newer ones in. Of course, nothing fit right, so I did a lot of fabric moving, raising and lowering of tables, relocating lamps, etc. It's about the worst it's going
You gotta love it. Coming home tonight in the dark, had my high beam lights on because of the cold weather and it just "felt" like the deer would be out. I was rewarded by seeing a beautiful pair on the left edge of the road and boy, did I slow way do
For my sisters looking to Easter, google pine tree crosses. Nature is beautiful
Bang, bang, like gunshots in my yard this hour. The little transformer on my power pole blew and showered down sparks. It must be spring, because power loads are shifting. Strangely, I still have power, so it must have shifted to another resource. I c
A great light has gone out. My morning news tells me of the death of the Reverend Billy Graham.
Fastest in-shop machine repair ever. Today I was stitching along and noticed that a small screw was bouncing along on my hoop. Stopped the machine and opened it up and looked everywhere. Couldn't see where it came from. Called the shop and described
Yesterday was Rip It Out day. Nothing stitched easily at the machine. About the third time, I remembered, that meant it was time to step away from the machine. Clean up, sort, hang, iron or (last choice) go do housework. Today was Losing Everything but M
Almost spring weather this morning - 50 degrees and wind. My fall leaf raking is finally done, really. My sons came yesterday and finished the last of eight rakings. I just couldn't do any more since November. My yard looks pristine! Hurrah! Time to
