As some of you remember, my hubby was required to take the written exam when he renewed his California driver’s license in September and proceeded to drive me nuts (a very short trip) constantly citing the rules of the road while we were driving.

Do you sew? Did you sew at one time and then, well, you stopped? That’s me. I learned to sew when I was in, maybe, 3rd. grade and remember doing a 4th grade project where I sewed several items that were part of the project. The teacher didn’t believe anyone in 4th grade could do … More Do You Sew?
It is so amazing how time gets away from you. I was sure I had posted something to my blog within the last couple of months. I was so sure that I didn’t stop to look until today. Last October? Six months ago? How could that be? Mea Culpa! Life. It just gets busy and … More Where Did The Time Go?
