    Sad day for my family

    I remember this day 12 years all to well. The father of my 3 half sisters and half brother was killed at 3:30pm by a drunk driver. He was a junior high art teacher, he was on his way home from work. He was stopped to make a left hand turn into his driveway. A very drunk man smashed into the back...

    Anyone else have a non traditional Thanksgiving dinner?

    We have prime rib, from a local butcher shop that is grass fed, twice baked potatoes, homemade rolls and cheesecake. I don't like pumpkin pie and turkey is kind of boring. We also stay home, DH and 2 DS. Anyone else do something different?

    Quilts for Christmas gifts

    I just finished the top for my son's quilt he will get for Christmas. The plaids are all from DH's old shirts. I will emboider his name in the plain blue square. I still have one more top to make for the other little guy. Hopefully I get these both done in time.

    Can someone help me with yardage for a rail fence quilt?

    I am going to make a king sized rail fence quilt with 4 different rails. Can anyone give me an idea on yardage? I searched and only found yardage for smaller quilts and I am horrible at figuring this stuff out. Boarders aren't an issue I can figure those when I make a final decision on my...

    Baking question

    My girls just started laying about 3 weeks ago now my question is, I bake often and my eggs are still on the small side. Should I use an extra egg, whole egg or just the white? Will the extra yoke effect my baked goods at all? Thanks

    Ok my mini schnauzer ran away over a week ago. We looked for her and didn't think we would ever see her again. She took off in the direction of a busy street and we live just a few miles from an area that has packs of feral dogs. So I got a call today that the shelter the next town over picked...
