When I look behind me, I can see through the windows that lead into the dinning room (our office is out on an enclosed porch....as it's the only spot that we had that would work when we moved here earlier this summer). I can look across the dinning room table, into the kitchen at the stove with two canners on it, that are filled with todays canning I did with my Mom. I was tired and just shut them off and left them there once they were done. LOL Supper was leftovers, so I didn't need the stove to cook it. I do enjoy canning with my mother, now that we moved closer to them so we can! :-))

HAHAHA!!!! I didn't even have to turn around! Our hand-me-down (several generations) Wonder Horse, complete with ribbon on it's tail and a feed bag (little gift bag with shredded paper) on one of the supports! He/she has had a few different names over the last 37 years and stays in the office so, now, our little Bella has something to play on when I'm down here doing laundry or computer work :-)
Please don't enter me into your give-away, though as I won something last year and you have been VERY generous. I would love for someone else to have a chance!

I look behind me to see that, once again, my darling boxador, pressli blossom, has stolen my lap quilt and is using it as a comfortable nest! I am currently stitching my first attempt at a quilt, which is intended to be a gift for her! But, like my grandma told me when I started this new hobby, "Jamie, u are going to put all ur love into making a quilt for her, and its going to be just like your situation with ur curious George monkey as a child." I carried a ratty, tattered, and well loved monkey for years as a toddler, until my family (I was the product of a teenage pregnancy, so I spent much time in the care of my eleven great aunts and uncles, all from the same mommy) replaced him with a brand, spanking new one. I refused him and cried for my familiar friend. Pressli will probably turn her nose up at the new quilt, preferring the smell and feel of my favorite lap quil! Which I understand, it's comforting and reminds her own mommy, me! Great blog and I can't wait to read the book! Then it will be donated to my middle school classroom library I'm accumulating, since our school was recently condemned and my low income kids don't have much access to books! Have a blessed day! Jamie Davis Bryan. Jaym_d@hotmail.com
