I’m getting tired of cooking. Running out of ideas . . . Getting in a rut of the same ol’ same ol’ . . . Does that happen to you? I keep having to adjust what we’re doing. We’ve been eating a lot of Keto meals, and we’ve each lost some weight, which made My […]

The school bus has starting going by the house every morning, the days are getting shorter, nights are getting a bit cooler, and we’ve started winter prep here at the ol’ ranch. This past month, I pretty much did nothing but work on the new Block-of-the-Month quilts for Sew […]

I know from previous experience that if I’ve had to go to the ER for high-powered pain killers, my sister insists on going along, because it’s hilarious — at least for her. My Cowboy’s a […]

Freezing, thawing, getting wet, wind, mud, snow, ice, and hard ground — it just makes everything more difficult. So we do as little […]

Even though I’m not a member of the group, I was allowed to join them anyway! The retreat was held at the Brunswick Lodging and Event Center, which is attached to Sew Sweet Quilt Shop. […]
