It has been forever since I have posted.  I have occasionally  looked at other blogs, but that's about the extent of anything blog-related that I have done.

We had  a wonderful summer, but as always, it went too fast.

I completed the two wildlife quilts for our two sons, and presented those to them.  They were both very pleased.


I can't really attempt to cover the last 8 or 9 months in one post, so I'll just maybe gradually come up to date.

  2. I think you probably spent the summer doing the really important stuff..enjoying your family. Always nice to see you on your blog, but I think you have your priorities right! Merry Christmas to you and Dick.
