Last week we had spring. This weekend we had winter. The weekend threw me off schedule because our older daughters went to their aunt’s house to spend the weekend. Then the snowstorm came and they stayed till Monday afternoon, waiting for the roads to clear. We had only a few inches of snow here and […]
We had a lovely weekend with the three grands here for most of it. Sunday afternoon, the twins helped Pa make cookies. Here they’re trying to snag a bit of egg shell from the cookie dough. Serious stuff going on… And don’t you love Rose Red’s sense of style? Sunday dress and Hello Kitty snow […]
Spring is here. The daffodils are blooming. DH brought a small bouquet in yesterday. They smell sooo good! I am working on some new Putz patterns. My friend Marsha Jane came to see me on Saturday. We built some Putz houses, talked about our high school graduating class (40th reunion last year), looked at grade […]
It’s been a quiet week. We had some snow. And not a lot of sunshine. Hoping this week will be sunnier and warmer. The grands were here and that’s always fun. If I’m in the craft room, they always want to participate in a favorite activity…coloring, cutting, gluing, punching, and glittering. \ And when Snow […]
