Embroidery at it's finest #1

So guess what I bought? Never in my lifetime have I wanted an embroidery machine. I did this pattern in 10 minutes. My Oma would have spent days doing this pattern on her flour sack dishtowels. Michelle has many ideas and plans and I hope I can help by learning to use this machine.

Dear Megi

Dear Megi
You are an incredible dog. You gently ask for my love and approval. Those big luminous eyes show your heart. Somehow my hand on your head is all you ask. You do not fight grooming. You share your limited world with your dog mates who are still wild pups. You wait to be presented with your yogurt treat...now that is courtesy. You patiently walk beside me as I fight with the leashes on Sugar and Coco. I can tell you love every minute of our walk. Your new pups are gone except for Licorice. You care for Licorice when she cries for her siblings and at night as I tuck her in with you, you let her sleep on your chest and put a loving arm around her for comfort. I know you like your privacy and would rather be left alone in your crate. Thankyou dear girl.

Alpha comes home


The puppies arrived today. Michelle and I took a trip to Linden to pick up the babies. Claire and Caramel seem to be tightly bonded. The half bath on main floor is the official home of the babies.

St Augustine's parish



My last Sunday with some of my favorite people. How will I be remembered? That thought kind of haunts me.

To Da Dump To Da Dump to da dump, dump dump



2 loads of this went to the landfill. It was a huge task to be ruthless. How many boxes of books do you need when you can get books on the internet? Bob threw out seminary texts that he hasn't looked at for 30+ years. I might have another load tomorrow after packing the dishes.
