Blog Schedule

I post on Monday with an occasional random blog thrown in for good measure. I do my best to answer all comments via email and visit around on the days I post.

A Package

My sister has many talents. One of them is crocheting which she does while she watches TV or a movie. As she says, "It's better than just twiddling my thumbs. At least this way my twiddling thumbs are producing something."
She's been crocheting for just about forever. I have doilies and potholders just about all over the place.

She's very good.

This came in the mail Saturday. A field of irises.
We all have a love for irises. Stan and I now have a multitude of yellow irises, grown from a few roots my mother brought to us all the way from her yard in California. Now Erva has sent us these, all the way from the Virgin Islands.
Thanks Erva. I love you.

    It makes the bedroom look like a million bucks, Erva.

    Isn't it though, Rena?

    Angela, my sister estimated that it took about 600 hours.

    Thanks Christy, it is a treasure AND it will be used.

    I am blessed indeed, Vijaya, in many, many ways.

    Ooooo Adrienne! Thank you!

    Brenda, you are more talented than you think and you share some of it with the rest of us.
