This is what winter looks like from my kitchen window. I live in a basement apartment.

This is the new vase I bought at the Home and Garden Show. Can you tell I like pretty things?

This is me and my Hammond organ several years ago.
I gave the keyboard to my daughter, Sharon, because my hands hurt to play it. This is my grandson, Gabey, playing it.

Cross Stitch Bears


I made these cross stitch bears for my girls. I gave my daughter Christine the one cuddled up in a quilt. I knew she would like to do that. I gave my daughter Sharon the one at the fence because she loves her back yard. I gave our dear friend (she's like one of the familiy) Michelle the one with the flowers and big hat because she loves to garden and I think she would look great in the hat.
