I finished the quilt for Grandbaby #2 in May. It’s bright and cheerful, just like the boy it was made for. I took the quilt to church with me one Sunday morning and gave it to him after service. I think he liked it! We took a few more photos at lunch. Man!…

REBOOT: Let’s Catch Up
You know, in many ways, these last couple of years have been a very hard season; but it’s all been wonderful and good and I am blessed by all of it. In the course of about three months time, Dani got married and moved an hour or so away, Aaron graduated from high school and…
