My Grandparents had a copy of this [...]

You already know I’m a joiner. Well, I joined the 365 Day Project.

I love that I can’t ever forget my brother’s wedding date (he just wants to make sure he gets anniversary gifts, I know it). It was hard to cancel my standing plans but…I made an exception for my baby brother.
The ceremony was beautiful and moving. It was a small gathering - all who were there truly know [...]

What next?
I have made some real progress on my Alaskan Jacket. Look!
Not only did I finish the back and the 2 fronts, I washed them and blocked them!! There’s a first time for everything. Oooh was that water dirty too - and now the pieces don’t smell faintly of iron (I have no idea what [...]

Sorry for all of you on the East Coast - I just had to share my excitement. And…yesterday when I walked Kira we saw…ROBINS!

We have had a wonderfully mild week - warm temperatures and sunshine!
It’s a bit of a tease because it is too early for spring, but it has been feeling like it.
We’ve taken advantage of this exceptional weather and spent a lot of time out of doors.
After an impromptu trip to a park (someone misread the [...]

**Important question at end of post!!
I am going to try and make this a regular Weds. post — past notions like this (poetry thursday for example) have lasted for a time and then…gone the way of the Dodo.
