My first "ouch" in my old truck


Last Thursday I had a mishap in my truck on the ice.  I have lived on icey roads and many worse than this area.  Most were winding and steep and I never had a problkem , but somehow last Thursday I hit the backend of a school bus on a flat level road. Thank God no injuries and bus was not damaged but my truck was towed and will be costing me over 1700 to fix.  I was shaken up and upset but am ok now.  I didn't recieve a citation as the roads were all iced up and it was snowing. 

Latest block from Saturday Sampler

this is the latest block on our Saturday Sampler.  It came out ok but was not easy.  This entire quilt will all be a variety of baskets and some blocks have large ones and some are small.  To learn I use the fabric that comes with the blocks but when I do it for real, I will use my own fabrics and colors.  I will do an update soon and show you all the blocks we have done so far for this quilt sampler.

Billy Bird and Mom brush calves

Billy Bird and Mom brush calves
grooming Cheech and Chong to keep them friendly has become a daily chore. The calves now are about 350 pounds and were starting to not want our company so now I brush them and have created a monster with Cheech. I have discovered he loves apples and carrots. Chong however wont even smell the goodies. Now Cheech stands in front of the front porch moowing at me for his treats. After I give him his treats it is hard to get back to the house and he is very determined to find more in my pockets.
