My heart is full!
If even half of the change President-elect Obama has proposed happens, can you imagine the improvements in our country? In our standing in the world? I know a lot of McCain/Palin supports that are very sad right now, and I’m truly sorry for them. I remember very clearly how I felt in 2000 and 2004.… Read More

Our favorite CDs around the house are by Harry Connick, Jr., who I love with a white hot passion. Um, I mean, I think he’s pretty handsome. Anyway, we do a lot of dancing to Harry…here’s a little taste of my son’s dancing skills:
Owl’s Party!
So there I was, all proud of my own mini quilt, and then I get this in the mail. How lucky am I? I get the super cute chickens in August, and then get this precious Owl having a party for September. I love my mini quilt swap group on Flickr! She also sent me… Read More
