With the coming of spring to the Gorge, we're back in full swing into projects, trips, and the ordinary "stuff." Dad has remodeled the old shed. Although the new roof won't be on until fall, a beautiful little potting/storage shed has replaced the old eyesore. A window will be going into that blank wall next week. I'm not sure what Dad would do without his projects....
I have joined a quilting group. It's some ladies from church who've been friends for many years. We get together twice a month to share quilting techniques, make quilts for welfare projects, and we're each making our own quilt--two blocks a month. Lots of fun--gossiping, sewing, laughing, sharing.
The quilt block you see is one that will be used in Connor's quilt.
We spent the later part of February on a fun road trip. Breakfast with Tobin and her family. Notice how bundled up Dad and I are compared to Tobin. She was acclimated to the frosty winter weather!!
We'd intended to head for the Hole-in-the-Rock area but didn't quite make it to that area!! Too much snow!! We did go through a lot of the area around Hole-in-the- Rock though. Dad took lots of pictures. We explored around some beautiful sites.
Very, very early in the morning, we stopped to take pictures of the Snowflake Temple. I always marvel at the desolate land here and think of the pioneers and cattlemen who were courageous enough to make the desert blossom. Kevin and Debbie have a ranch in Snowflake. The landscaping around the temple is in keeping with the surroundings.
We spent a fun day in Tombstone, Arizona. The cemetery in Tombstone is a national monument, and visitors are asked to respect the fact that it is a cemetery. That's a bit hard to do when one walks along the barren gravel paths in the cemetery and reads the epitaphs!!
I stayed in Mesa for a week to help Susan, and Dad drove to Santa Maria, California to visit DeAnne. Right now she's working on a set for "West Side Story" and designing a set for "Peter Pan."
Life is good....blessed....charmed. "All is well. All is well." Love, Mom
