Here is a review of my stitching progress for the month...

Susan Greening Davis, Susan's Needle Nook was a start from my year of "start something new every Sunday" phase. I thought it might make a special Christmas gift. I have one that I made at one of Susan's classes several years ago and use it all the time. Went to Jo-Anns yesterday, used my new really cool iphone ap, and bought some wool felt for 50% off... will do the finish finish work on it in November, when I put together all the ornaments!
A new start... I couldn't wait and boy, am I loving this....

Ink Circles, Cirque des Coeurs. Heading out to the stitchin spot as soon as I'm done here to put some more stitches in this...
Eleanor and I spent some time working on Callie's quilt this month. I just love those EMS babies I (and some round robin participants) stitched years ago....

It just makes all the colors in the babies POP!
I have never made a quilt before. probably never will... this has been a learning experience... I thought the easiest thing to do would be to determine the largest stitch count from all of the babies, and then add a couple inches, ie 28 threads, and then run a basting stitch around each block, after they all had the same thread count... makes sense, right? So I did that. Cut 3 of them out, laid them next to each other and they were all 3 different sizes! We figure it must have something to do with tension, amount of stitches, different fabric lots... so back to the drawing board. Made a template out of that plastic sheeting, cut all the blocks to the same size. Ran into a lady at the quilt/fabric shop who had made a quilt out of cross stitched blocks and she said "make sure you use lightweight pellon iron on interfacing on the back side of all the cross stitch to keep the batting from pilling thru. So, again yesterday I used my handy dandy Jo-Ann iphone ap and bought 6 yards of pellon (because you can never have too much...) for the price of 3 yards. The interfacing is all ironed on, now I am going to run a basting stitch 4 threads in on all 4 sides as a stitch guide... Callie is only 7, I figure I got a few more years to get this thing done....
I was gifted this beautiful piece by my sweet friend Julie. She knows my love of mermaids and my fear of peyote...

Our community was furtunate to host the 2012 United States Police Canine Association National Field Trials October 15-18. 140 K-9 teams from across the country competed in agility, suspect search, article search and apprehension. They held their competitions at various community parks during the day and on the last day of competitions they held a public demonstation at the sports park. It was amazing to see these teams at work..

Last night I took the Charlotte County Historical Society's Indian Springs Cemetery tour. I was a bit of a chicken, so I signed up for the 6pm tour, while it was still daylight! The tour wasn't a jump out and scare the crap out of you in the cemetery type tour, thank goodness! It was well done, with guides and history of the area and stories/lore/fact/fiction about some of the famous and not so famous people from our community.

The governonr passed away in 1926. One of the show places in our community is named after him, Gilchrist Park. Halloween is a big deal in the historical section of our community, residents spend weeks decorating their homes. The Governors Last Will and Testament provided a fund that continues to provide ice cream for all that want it each Halloween night in Gilcrist Park.

This was not on the tour, but I thought it was such a beautiful, yet sad memorial. This infant died at age 1 day, in 1903.

I'm sorry if cemetery photos frak you out, but I find cemeterys to be quite tranquil. i love the monuments, the memorials, the symbolism. I'm planning some outtings to take more photos. I would love to know more of the area's history.
And finally, an almost full moon rising last night..

Yesterday was our Marathon Stitching Day at the Habitat Center. Enjoyed 29 woman and gentleman Joe for a full day of stitching and visiting.... Eleanor made an Eleanor Bag to raffle off for our local Habitat. Cathy from Golden Needle added a set of qsnaps, some needles and the JCS 2012 Ornament issue. Tickets are $5 each or 3 for $10. I have a couple Eleanor bags that I just love. Big pockets on the outside, lots of pockets on the inside and quality quality quality construction. This bag features a piece of masonite in the bottom for stability. It is covered to match the bag, but you can slip it out prior to washing the bag. We will draw the lucky winner in January when we meet again for our next marathon stitching day! Let me know if you would like a ticket...

Had a wondertastic visit with my family and friends in Kansas a couple of weeks ago. Filled with brothers, sister, sister-in-laws, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncle, cousins, friends, peaches, wells, cemateries, dogs and surprises.... I loved every minute!
I arrived in Wichita late on Wednesday night... Isn't it funny when you travel, you become a text-a-holic??? My 2 brothers and I texted as often as we could during by trip.... I was so excited to see them. I knew my brother Jim and sister-in-law Lylia would be picking me up at the airport as I had made arrangements to spend my first 3 nights with them. Had no idea anyone else would be there because it was almost midnight when my flight arrived. As I was walking down the ramp from the gate, I could see my brother Jim waiting for me. I was so happy to see him.... we are walking away from the gate and all of the sudden someone is bumping up against me on my other side... I look up to say excues you... and it's my little brother Duane! What a goof... and behind him are my 2 sister-in-laws! I felt sooo special! We all went to Jims and sat up and visited for a couple hours. I slept like a rock that night, because the night before I was so excited, I don't think I slept 10 minutes!

Nephews Dallas & Austin, my baby brothers step sons. They look soooo excited! So proud of Dallas, he just started his first semester at Butler County Community College (just like me!) on a full music scholarship! Austin is my little buddy! Duane and the family are very involved with the One Spark organization. Austin loves to participate in the feed the homeless program they do monthly in downtown Wichita.

My second nephew Clark and his wife Carla Sue. My sisters youngest son. Such sweeties! My sister was in the hospital while I was there, so she didn't get to participate in the family events. 20 years ago she had surgery to remove part of a lung due to cancer. 2 days after the surgery, she suffered a stroke. She continues to have issues with paralysis, phenomia, emphazima, anemia. The week before my visit, she fell out of bed, cracked her head on her night stand and broke some ribs in her fall. Due to the broken ribs and her weakened lung state, she developed phenomia... seems to be the last several years she is in the hospital more than she is out, but always seems to rally... her 2 sons and Carla Sue keep a good eye on her!

Dear sweet niece Crystal! My baby brothers 3rd daughter. My bff Annette (above!) and her husband came over for dinner. Annette comes to see me most every time I make it to Kansas, but her husband, Chuck, has not had the opportunity to be around the Clark clan as his job keeps him traveling. Chuck walked in to the living room and said to Crystal... I know you.... Crystal got this deer in the headlights look like OH MY GOSH... then the light went on for her and she figured out who he was... He said.... You work at Wal-Mart don't you? Yes... You are at the Newton Wal-Mart, right?.... Yes.... you used to be at the Dodge City Wal-Mart... Yes... Your name is Crystal.... Chuck is the rep for Kelloggs and covers the Kansas stores. Too funny... just shows what a small world it is! And to add to that, my niece Deiedra (way up above with her daughter Cortney...) has worked for Wal-Mart since she was in high school... I said to Chuck, you must know my niece Dee... He said.. Deiedra?? Of course I know Deiedra... she is awesome! I didn't get the chance to see Deid after that, so Chuck surprised her on his next visit to her store... It's a small small world! My baby brothers 3rd daughter, Crystal was named after me... Duane was so happy to tell me... Crystal Jean... Only he got his 2 sisters mixed up... Our sister's middle name is Jean... not mine... but it's ok, I'm proud that she is named after me!!!

And this one... my niece Jamie... my very first ever niece...My brother Jim's first born. When her Mom was pregnant, she lived with my Mom, Dad, little brother and I because Jim was at sea with the navy. My parents had 2 grandsons and wanted a granddaughter so bad... my Dad told Lylia if she didn't have a girl, she just might as well never leave that hospital... I was 9 years old... I remember watching my sis-in-law Lylia and my Dad sit at the kitchen table and eat tons of cantalope... Needless to say, my Dad was exstatic when Jamie was born! Unfortunatly, he passed away 8 weeks later. Babysitting Jamie was my first job... she is as much a baby sister for me as she is a niece... I was not supposed to see her until Saturday afternoon. She lives 4 hours from Wichita, but only 2 hours from Dodge City so we had made plans to meet in Dodge on Saturday afternoon. Needless to say... she couldn't handle not being with us on Friday, so she drove in and surprised her mother and me! I got to meet her fiance and spend quality time with them on the drive to Dodge on Saturday. I'm so blessed!

My third nephew Larry. My brother Chuck's first born. He has grown up to such a fine young man! My brother, his father, passed away a few years ago. Larry has kept up his father's tradition of entering the car his father rebuilt in local car shows. Just a couple weeks before my visit, the car, with Larry's improvements and showmanship won a "best in class, street rods 40 and later" at the Blacktop Nationals August 2012.

My niece Mandy.... and her 2 daughters! Manderdawn holds such a special place in my heart. She is 11 months younger than my Marla Jane. My baby brothers first born. She makes my days brighter with her frequent out of the blue text messages of love... I think she has a 6th sense when it comes to knowing when I need a lift!
If you have made it this far.... you are about done! I've got a big family!!

And niece Vanessa... baby brothers second daughter and her children. Nessa is such a stinker... she appologized to me before I headed to Wichita that her work schedule had changed and she would not be able to make it to Dodge City (a five hour drive from her home in Colorado to see me). I gave her ideas about calling in sick and all that, but told her I understood and was sad I would not get to see her... Guess who surpried her father and me on Saturday afternoon!! She even brought me my own bag of Colorado peaches... the best peaches in the world! Her kiddos were so happy to see their grandpa too! They helped him eat his dinner! Yes, baby brother Duane has 4 daughters, 2 step sons. He keeps busy!
<b>Cousins, Aunts, Uncles, Nieces, Nephews, belt buckles... and peaches!</b> It's all good!

On the way back to Wichita, we stopped at Greensburg. When we were kids, when we would travel from Wichita to Dodge City, Greensburg was always the place to stop for a rest break. Usually that included a bologna sandwich too! No baloney this time! The last time I was back, the Well was not open yet. They have rebuilt the visitors center and it is awesome! Austin and I went down in the well!

The next day Duane and I made another trip to Kingman to check on our sister. We stopped at the family cemetery on the way in. Once back in Wichita, we stopped to visit our brothers grave site. The last time I was in Wichita was when he passed away, so this was the first chance I had to see the monument.

Just Wishing....Been busy organizing "stuff".... How do we get so much "Stuff"???? I'm trying to get all my photos, family history and the like scanned to an external, portable hard drive. I'm off to Kansas in a week to see my family and just don't want to schlep the laptop half way across the country. That, and the fact that hurricane season is here. I'm not sure I can leave all my photos should we have to evacuate, but if I don't I won't be taking much of anything else. Lets just hope I don't have to make that decision!
Here is are photos from my morning walk yesterday. The Harbor was like glass!

Not much to report stitching wise. I did start Paradise Lost and made about a weeks worth of progress. Put it away July 1, as I only stitch Christmas ornaments in July. Those are coming along quite well.
No photos of Paradise Lost progress. When I think about getting my camera out, its cloudy and/or raining or it's dark. Not much to see anyway!
I spent 10 wonderful days in Michigan with my daughter and her family. We didn't venture out much, all of us were content to stay home and play in her garden, or color, or play barbies, or play beauty shop, or play house, or play with play dough.... I think you get the picture! Just in case, here are a couple....few....several....a bunch!!

Was super hard to say good bye at the airport!
I got the hair braines idea the other day to organize an inventory my fibers.... dear God.... Don't think I will be buying any more floss for a while! Next stop... all the magazines and charts and books...

By La D Da, Mary Mack Mack Mack is finished! This was one of my starts from the year of "Start Something New Every Sunday" (Dear God, what was I thinking????). But, she is done & I love her! Pressed and off to hang out in the closet with all the other stitched but not finished into something projects!
A new start and finish:

By iSew Designs, Sew a Mystery. This was not on my WIP list, but when I saw this finished at the Golden Needle Stitch Night, I just had to have it. Then I found the perfect silk fiber, Italian Flowers, and the perfect fabric ... who knows what it is, but it has a slight yellow tint. This stitched up over Memorial Day Weekend. I chose to stitch this design over 2 with 2 strands of silk overdyed. She will hang out in the closet with Mary....
I also started Paradise Lost! Not much progress, some pears and leaves and part of a tree, but it is going to be a fun stitch.
Other happenings this past month:
We went over to Ft. Pierce on Mother's Day to meet up with our friends Mike & Randi who were visiting for a month from Kansas. They rented a nice condo on the beach. We toured the town, very pretty! Lovely beach!

It's been a tad bit humorous learning to drive a stick at 53 years of age...
Bruce was out of town one weekend, as was my friend Eleanor's husband, so we had a HOT weekend (Husbands Out of Town!) We stitcked, ate, drank, shopped and spent time in the pool. We went to the local quilt shop and I bought fabric to make the 2 multiplication chart projects into banners and.... fabric to make Callie's quilt top from the Ellen Maurer-Stroh Animal Babies that I stitched long ago... (I did not take a photo of the multiplication banner fabric! Sorry!)

Why now, after all this time hanging out in my closet??? I'm off to Michigan to spend a week with my beautiful daughter and family! I'm soooooo excited! We are going to play in the dirt (she has a HUGE garden), make cookies and cupcakes and put the quilt top togther! I'm soooooo excited! It's been 2 long years since I have been with her!

With that, I'm off to fix Sunday dinner, and maybe get a few stitches in Paradise Lost. My mind is proccupied with packing for my trip, so who knows how much stitching I will actually get done! (The suit case is out and the dining room table is collecting all the things I must take with me to Michigan!
Happy stitching!! Be safe!

A couple of weeks ago I completed the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office Citizens' Police Academy. The Citizens' Police Academy is an 8 week (includes graduation) program designed to give the public a working knowledge of the Sheriff’s Office. Each session consists of eight consecutive weekly night classes at Sheriff’s Office facilities. The instruction is comprehensive and each week separate areas of the Sheriff’s Office are covered. I even got a diploma! Friday night I did my ride along with a couple of the officers from the department. Interesting stuff out there..... God bless the men and women of the Charlotte County Sheriff's Department. They earn every dime they make and then some...<br />

No??? Well... I have the best job in the world!!! Our Punta Gorda Chamber of Commerce (my employer) hosted the Punta Gorda Wine and Jazz Festival this past weekend. We began selling tickets April 7, 2010. Ticket prices were $75-$130 per person. The ticket price included 3 headline performers, all the food, wine, beer provided by over 25 local vendors. VIP tickets sold out in May with the Premium tickets selling out in June. The performers this year were Mindi Abair (the mystery sax player from the last season of American Idol, Peter White-Jazz guitarist and Russ Freeman & the Rippingtons. Our venue is the local park located on the harbor. The weekend started Friday night with a VIP reception at the Visual Arts Center for all VIP ticket holders. Mindi and he husband made a special guest appearance....<br />

Saturday was the main event..... The weather was perfect as were the musicians, attendees, the food, the wine, the beer.... I took tons of photos and when I was looking at them, there was one theme... Smile... I put some of the photos together with one of my favorite Mindi Abair songs "Smile" and made my first movie!!<br />

<br />
On Sunday we had a brunch at the local yacht club with 250 people attending. In the afternoon a concert in the park by one of our local musicians. The weather was not agreeable.... very windy, rain off an on, so the camera stayed in the car. <br />
<br />
Needless to say, there was no stitching done this week with the extended work hours. I'm on exhausted puppy!!!<br />
<br />
Enjoy your day.... and Smile!<br />

Keslyn's Vicki's Essence <br />
<br />
This is a late add to my WIPocalypse list. I have had my eyeball on the chart for several months. I confess... every time I went in to the Golden Needle, I would gaze at the chart.... but several weeks ago, I found the perfect piece of fabric and the rest is history. I love this piece! Too bad my photographic skills do not do the piece justice (I'm working on my new camera skillz... bear with me!!)<br />
<br />
RIP Whitney Houston. You had an amazing voice and presence in our lives. Life did not treat you kind. I wish you peace and happiness. Adding my own editorial here, and please, do not think me cold and heartless, as I truly believe we all have the ability as well as the opportunity to pick our pain... and our joy....ie: choices... I am deeply saddened by the death of Whitney Houston, but do we really need entire news/entertainment shows dedicated to her life/death? Wouldn't it be nice if we spent this much time talking about and honoring our solders who made the choice and are killed each day, protecting us, our rights, our safety, our liberties, instead of focusing on the wasted talent of a drug addict who, like you and I had the ability to make a choice?<br />
<br />
It's an unusually cold and breezy day on the Gulf Coast. Off to a surprise birthday party for a dear friend this afternoon.<br />

Stitched on 28 count joblen waterlilies with DMC threads. This was a joy to work on and I am sad to see it end.<br /><br />What's next??? Several things.... of course! Tonight I started Brightneedle's "Lo How A Rose" from the 2001 Better Homes and Gardens Celebrations in Stitches. Logged one hour on the project. Yesterday to celebrate the anticipated finish of Family Reunion Sampler, I went to Golden Needle and came home with the fabric (31" x 25" cut of 28 count Amber linen) Floss (DMC) and chart to stitch Christmas-Quaker by Stickideon von der Wiehenburg. I have wanted to stitch this piece for a couple of years. Tomorrow I will make my working copy of the chart and start on it soon. Can you believe the chart calls for 17 skeins of DMC 777? Holy Moly! Also in the bag (started) is Charlotte's Sampler, I am stitching it on black 28 count evenweave and it is going to be beautiful! Yup... some things never change, I shall always be the "Queen of Starts"!<br /><br />If anyone is still following this blog, I apologize for the lenght between posts. The last couple years were tuff ones on the job, but I left that toxic environment in February and started a new job. Life is good!!! <br />Follow me on facebook or twitter for more frequent updates. Email me for details!<br /><br />Thanks for hanging in there! ~~ xoxo ~~Miokkahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06640769286790518758noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681554675694728075.post-10252556616091898772010-07-20T22:44:00.002-04:002010-07-20T22:48:35.118-04:00Did you ever have a song in your head you could not get rid of???Remember this song.....<br /><br />There's a log in the hole<br />In the bottom of the sea,<br />There's a log in the hole<br />In the bottom of the sea,<br />There's a log, there's a log,<br />There's a log in the hole<br />In the bottom of the sea.<br />There's a branch on the log in the hole<br />In the bottom of the sea,<br />There's a branch on the log in the hole<br />In the bottom of the sea,<br />There's a branch, there's a branch,<br />There's a branch on the log in the hole<br />In the bottom of the sea.<br /><br />There's a bump on the branch on the log<br />In the hole in the bottom of the sea,<br />There's a bump on the branch on the log<br />In the hole in the bottom of the sea,<br />There's a bump, there's a bump,<br />There's a bump on the branch on the log<br />In the hole in the bottom of the sea.<br /><br />There's a frog on the bump on the branch<br />on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea,<br />There's a frog on the bump on the branch<br />on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea,<br />There's a frog, there's a frog,<br />There's a frog on the bump on the branch<br />on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea.<br /><br />There's a tail on the frog on the bump on the branch<br />on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea,<br />There's a tail on the frog on the bump on the branch<br />on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea,<br />There's a tail, there's a tail,<br />There's a tail on the frog on the bump on the branch<br />on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea.<br /><br />There's a speck on the tail on the frog<br />On the bump on the branch<br />On the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea,<br />There's a speck on the tail on the frog<br />On the bump on the branch<br />on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea,<br />There's a speck, there's a speck,<br />There's a speck on the tail on the frog<br />On the bump on the branch on the log<br />In the hole in the bottom of the sea.<br /><br />There's a fleck on the speck on the tail<br />On the frog on the bump on the branch<br />On the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea,<br />There's a fleck on the speck on the tail<br />On the frog on the bump On the branch<br />On the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea,<br />There's a fleck, there's a fleck,<br />There's a fleck on the speck on the tail<br />On the frog on the bump on the branch<br />On the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea.<br /><br /><br />%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^%^<br /><br />Well.... yesterday morning on the way to work, I heard this version of the song....<br /><br />THERE’S A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA,<br />THERE’S A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA,<br />THERE’S A HOLE, THERE’S A HOLE,<br />THERE’S A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA,<br /><br />THERE’S A LEAK FROM THE PIPE,<br />THAT’S STUCK IN THE HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA,<br />THERE’S A STINK AND A SMELL,<br />FROM THE OIL IN THE WELL,<br />FROM THE PIPE THAT’S STUCK,<br />IN THE THICK BLACK MUCK,<br />IN THE HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA,<br />THERE’S A HOLE, THERE’S A HOLE,<br />THERE’S A HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA,<br /><br />THERE’S NO END TO THE COST,<br />OR THE JOBS THAT ARE LOST,<br />BY THE FOLKS GETTING SCREWED,<br />FROM THE SPILL OF THE CRUDE,<br />THAT YOU FIND IN THE CLAMS,<br />THAT YOU DIG IN THE SAND,<br />ON THE BEACH FULL OF TAR,<br />WHICH FLOATED FAR,<br />ON TOP OF THE WAVES,<br />SENDING FISH TO THEIR GRAVES ,<br />DEEP DOWN BELOW,<br />WHERE THEY COULDN'T STOP THE FLOW,<br />FROM THE HOLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.<br /><br />YES THE B.P.

I made it to Wichita in time to spend the last few days with him and my family. It was one of the hardest, saddest weeks of my life. It was also one of the best weeks of my life. The time spent with my family was priceless. We will all miss him, but know he is in a better place and no longer suffering.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6yGarlgidfsci1O-F1sOwv32qUEqz6nycMnTUtQf_kb6OENUjKeVwNiUmlizxd8SqNTyjSd4BMCp4C0MrRUn5OYRCSWoR3x9p7th-uonQ7NTf47OR4HlQWdlPjCjiY23LQRh7rdtFz5x-/s1600-h/Memorial+cover.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 354px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6yGarlgidfsci1O-F1sOwv32qUEqz6nycMnTUtQf_kb6OENUjKeVwNiUmlizxd8SqNTyjSd4BMCp4C0MrRUn5OYRCSWoR3x9p7th-uonQ7NTf47OR4HlQWdlPjCjiY23LQRh7rdtFz5x-/s400/Memorial+cover.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397855494297514018" /></a><br />The car on the front of the memorial is the 53 he rebuilt<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhykFM_KLliCa_YjEJcEnGhUwwuSZd36rynn3dC1Fulh8RjCZZYKXCKD8Q40TPCLP74vROQ2fxvM-ymJ1ycxAquCcFrnPbr8k8tETLxEIN0n0AezoWXDlM3CVU20mTpkS-0cfFJPdNQAhvI/s1600-h/9316_167899000758_603800758_3332404_8342183_n.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhykFM_KLliCa_YjEJcEnGhUwwuSZd36rynn3dC1Fulh8RjCZZYKXCKD8Q40TPCLP74vROQ2fxvM-ymJ1ycxAquCcFrnPbr8k8tETLxEIN0n0AezoWXDlM3CVU20mTpkS-0cfFJPdNQAhvI/s400/9316_167899000758_603800758_3332404_8342183_n.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397855493410836146" /></a><br />The American Legion Patriot Guard<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT2EmRiOalCXgj6gvPdHefQELJt1WlmXMsyc-Z4LAgd_s97KAtU6BhSQw4hyphenhyphen1cyoNhl0W-o7a8m2exOAtWX8n5kjLIcbmCiwGbHT5aGQ76mlEp7va4N6EbWVega2GJQoe-I6OD06aYAAON/s1600-h/Patriot+Guard+and+53.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT2EmRiOalCXgj6gvPdHefQELJt1WlmXMsyc-Z4LAgd_s97KAtU6BhSQw4hyphenhyphen1cyoNhl0W-o7a8m2exOAtWX8n5kjLIcbmCiwGbHT5aGQ76mlEp7va4N6EbWVega2GJQoe-I6OD06aYAAON/s400/Patriot+Guard+and+53.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397855496469986722" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPG4fcg7g0knUu4LFEDtgbjRzDbvQTPnHalm82hyphenhyphen1t-Yq6SrVNwqc6H-iBdxxacud7ALSSh5NVzhy6IQwiunf2ONc12qng-bEcC8WZAzwtHVbrlh9jWJ_BSav4DeZ2Mv2F9D27dG8K1PdD/s1600-h/at+the+cemetary.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPG4fcg7g0knUu4LFEDtgbjRzDbvQTPnHalm82hyphenhyphen1t-Yq6SrVNwqc6H-iBdxxacud7ALSSh5NVzhy6IQwiunf2ONc12qng-bEcC8WZAzwtHVbrlh9jWJ_BSav4DeZ2Mv2F9D27dG8K1PdD/s400/at+the+cemetary.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397855499995196690" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA0dLd-eQ38k4mkK1gq28zvl5N4a7oPfftNb4NRzlIvqe1t9pWleuVp3DigYrWHLvd_3tl4Sl0e2mqfwhmn7C38sOstbw3lFQWf2efn8aN-o_nzfZyR0vysPYHO-xfgDTD5mcGwTmH7I5X/s1600-h/A+tear.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA0dLd-eQ38k4mkK1gq28zvl5N4a7oPfftNb4NRzlIvqe1t9pWleuVp3DigYrWHLvd_3tl4Sl0e2mqfwhmn7C38sOstbw3lFQWf2efn8aN-o_nzfZyR0vysPYHO-xfgDTD5mcGwTmH7I5X/s400/A+tear.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397855884664472018" /></a><br />This photo really pulls at my heart.

If anyone out there is still reading, I'm still alive. <br /><br />I am not able to post to my blog from my laptop. I am now running firefox and can not figure out how to allow cookies and enable java. I'm sooo computer challenged. I grabbed Bruce's computer for a quick update!<br /><br />We just returned home from a weeks visit to Kansas and Oklahoma. This is the first time that I have not been ready to go back to work after a vacation. It was soooo wonderful to see my family!<br /><br />I have no stitchy pictures to show! So sorry! I have been stitching on my Christmas ornaments during my lunch break and that is about it. The pattern I am using is Daffycats' reindeer pattern she offered on her blog earlier this year. Sooo cute! I can not wait to get my hands on the JCS Christmas Ornament issue. We have stitch night this Wednesday, so that is on the list. October 3, my LNS Golden Needle is hosting a UFO Stitching day. From 11am to 11pm! Rules are you have to bring stuff to stitch that you have all ready started and a sack lunch. Dinner provided! I'm looking forward to this "forced stitching time"! October 31 is stitching with Susan Greening Davis at Golden Needle. The project looks wonderful.
