BRUCE ROCKS 12*12*12!

 Oh, my Bruce Springsteen pie!

 

I wish that was me...

 

OK So I didn't get any sewing or school work done last night. (Sorry kids, you won't be getting your DBQ paragraphs back tomorrow.)  But, Bruce was on and I HAD to watch the concert! Boy, am I glad I did...what a great show!  I wanted to post yesterday on 12-12-12.  Thought it would be cool to mark the date, but it didn't happen. Oh, well.  So tonight I'm posting the pictures of the finished tops of the girls' Christmas quilts.  It is pretty dark in the back room, so the colors don't look as bright as they really are.  Wait till you see them in person!  I just have to put the back on and quilt together.  That is my task tonight and tomorrow night.  Hopefully, I will have them in the mail on Saturday.  Keep your fingers crossed!  I hope you like them so far!

 

 

A little parting music...

August Again

The first week of August hangs at the very top of summer, the top of the live-long year, like the highest seat of a Ferris wheel when it pauses in its turning. The weeks that come before are only a climb from balmy spring, and those that follow a drop to the chill of autumn, but the first week of August is motionless, and hot. It is curiously silent, too, with blank white dawns and glaring noons, and sunsets smeared with too much color. Often at night there is lightning, but it quivers all alone.   ~Natalie Babbitt, Tuck Everlasting

Enjoy the final month of summer!

Reminds me of summer!

What would we do without Patty?

I was listening to Patty Griffin just now and came across this video posted by someone on Youtube.  My eyes immediately teared up...it's been a long time since I've heard this song.  But, somehow it was fitting today with the news of Allie L.'s passing.  Of course, I always think of dad when I hear this song.  I hope it doesn't make you too sad listening to this.  In a way it always kind of makes me feel better, knowing that I am not alone.  That I am not the only person who has ever experienced loss.  By the way, last night I had a dream and dad was in it.  Hasn't happened in a while...synchronicity?
