It is literally over the river and through the woods to this Grandmother’s house in Duval, Washington. I can just picture it from the viewpoint of sitting in a sleigh with a horse high stepping it to the jingling cascade of Christmas bells. Of course, I would be tucked beneath several layers of warm blankets, [...]
FiFi and I had fun making Valentines today. It wasn’t in my plan to have her help but she’s one of those friends who likes to stay involved, especially if she thinks my attention to her has dipped below 100%. After we finished the Valentines we typed “folding hearts out of dollar bills” on Google [...]
I have to admit, I’m a bit of a yarn nut. I love to crochet … and I tend to go crazy in yarn stores. I’d tell you to “just ask Lynn” but I’m afraid he would tell you the truth and then you’d know just how much of a hoarder I am! Truthfully, though, [...]

I wish I would have started sooner … I didn’t think about it until I was at my daughter’s in Auburn, Washington … towards the END of our trip! She mentioned she wanted to make some “Things” for her family for Christmas so I helped her. Then I started thinking of others in the family [...]
Please take the time to go to The Gentleman’s Fund and read about our friend, Barton Brooks. He and our children went to school together. It amazes me what he has been able to accomplish and I marvel that a young man would be so selfless and not given up on his hope of making [...]
