Saturday in Sherwood

-
When we arrived in Sherwood, Darren was mowing the grass. Their little dog was doing her usual routine of placing her ball in front of the lawnmower so that Darren has to stop and toss it for her. When he was finished, this is what she looked like.

Meet Pippi Greenstockings! The grass was wet and after she ran all over catching her ball, she was grass-stained all up her dainty legs!

We walked downtown with all five dogs...who were a parade by themselves to look at the vintage cars..here are a couple of the many.



One of my favorite greens!


After walking a few more blocks we found an old house that was open for viewing. There were quilts, and beds, cribs and a spinning wheel. On the back porch was a wringer and tubs and they had done a wash and pegged the clothes on the line. Very cool.

The quilts were very nice, keep on enjoying.






Right next door was a roped off room with old school furnishings inside. The old desks were small and a nice blackboard was ready for doing math.



After touring a few more blocks we walked back to Ginny and Darrens. The sun peeked out in the afternoon and it was a great ending to a fun day. The dogs were weary when we got home. Very quiet and subdued after all their excitement. It is a nice town with lots of places to enjoy. You might want to visit sometime.


Sunday's wisdom.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. Psalm 23v1

Camping in the Rain

 Hello Everyone,  We went camping at Barview Jetty a little while ago and it rained almost all the time we were there! On the way it was necessary to stop here at our favorite fish shop! Best shrimp, sauce, and clam chowder that we have found.  Excellent. We went there on the way to camp and on the way home. Even thought it rained so much, the clouds were spectacular. The sand had some cool patterns We had friends that camped next to us and we ate really well.  Some reading and stitching were also part of our days. A couple weeks ago we went to McIver park to camp. Again it rained almost the whole time we were there. Same friends kept us entertained and we continued with our eating really well. This is a reflection in the lake of the sun trying to come out. Mamma ducks and babies were enjoying the break in the rain. We have found out that our beloved Oscar has Prostate cancer and Cushings disease. It's a sad blow as we lost both our Silkies last year. We don't know how long we

Coming out of hibernation

 I decided it was time to bring my blog back to life. I thought about it for some time and decided it would be so nice to connect with friends again even if it's just with words. I have mostly enjoyed being at home and catching up with reading and sewing. My Etsy shop is doing well and I would like to share some of the things that are currently available.                                        I bought this tin in The Netherlands when I was recently there visiting my daughter and her family. They took me to a very cool old antique shop and they have Lots of tins. The shop had so many things that I would have liked to take home. But Not possible. This is another one! It's been fun finding things to put in the sewing boxes. They are listed in my Etsy shop thequiltingbshop.Etsy.com There are lots of size 12 Valdani Thread available too. A few of the ones that I just listed I brought home some beautiful French floss that is paired up with some wool squares and some that are listed
