MEMORIES

A donation waiting in the hall. Don’t laugh too hard, but yesterday I was still suffering the aftereffects of the fuzzies. There I was, all ready to go to the pool and no wallet. Both G a...
A FUZZY DAY
The tree is done…as done as it is going to be. Decorated nicely but not quite as fancily as it was a few years ago. Duck’s tree is up in the bedroom. The boxes are closed and stacked to brin...

A COOPERATIVE EFFORT
She asks if I need more cotton fabrics. If we lived closer, I’d do something….something….like tickle her or hit her over the head with a feather pillow. Yes, I have enough to fabric finish Bob...
I DIDN'T TAKE THIS PICTURE

MY DAY YESTERDAY
