Mostly quilt and family related..... but still things in my daily world.Photo taken of the Professor and me last year in Fayetteville, AK Christmas on the square, with The Princess and Little True

Life has definitely taken me to places I never thought I would go to....but nothing more exciting than where I am right now! Welcome to my world...

No news.......MAY NOT be good news!!!!!
NO luggage yet.....5 days and counting.....been shopping three times to repurchase items as needed. I have been busy visiting with my family....be back in a few days!!! Hugs to all of you. Lots of photos to share.Colleen
Oh no! What a horrendous story! I do hope someone comes up with a solution. So, buying new bras and clothes I can take, but losing hand made goods! Never! I'd be with you sobbing!!! Well, you are there. And safe. And surrounded in love so SMILE!
What a nightmare ! Nothing ever seems to go straight-forward. Fingers crossed everything turns up soon. Hope you enjoy your trip regardless. Take care !
