Rainy day

What do you do on a rainy day in the Arizona desert? Why, play on the computer, thats what. I wondered how Charlotte got a great big picture of herself when her blog site comes up. And a lovely blog it is. Athomeinscottsdale.blogspot.com
Not only did I discover how to do it, I also learned that when putting that large a picture up for the whole world to see, that it is better to put up a picture that is not such a closeup. I can see me as I really am. 70 y/o and way too many wrinkles. WOW! But, I don't have any other pictures of me to put up on here and I don't believe any others would be anymore flattering. Whatever. I am just happy to be a healthy 70 y/o

Crafts and grandkids

I think I will show off both crafts and grandkids this a.m. Just before Christmas I stuck very close to one project to get it finished by Sunday. I seldom do only one thing. I move from project to project and at the time I was working on a Christmas Quilt. I wanted to finish it so that I could put it in a basket and nest the many half pints of Apple Butter I had made for members of my little church. I didn't want to simply sign someone's name on the outside and my name on the inside and call it GOOD. A little bah humbug, a little rebellious and a whole lot of ME. So, instead, I put up many, many half pints of Apple Butter and gave each household in my church a jar instead of a card. Pictured are the two Arizona grand kids, Michael (pretending to sleep) and Danica on Christmas morning under the quilt. Michael claimed that project. I have found that new quilts are warm and comfy. A nice thing in my Arizona desert, especially when it rains all night, as it did last night. In fact, it is still raining. RAH!
