I started this blog several years to make a record of some of the things that I have stitched whether it be knit, sewing or cross stitch. I also like to come up with ideas for gifts for family members. I also have included some of my writing but not all of it. Just a little rambling sometimes. When I was a child I loved to visit my great aunt in Somerset Kentucky. So many wonderful memories come back when I think of that time.

In progress shawl
This is a shawl that I have been working on. It has kind of been moved to the back burner because I have been working on a cross stitch picture of my grandson but soon I will be deli gently working on my knitting projects again.
Raining again
I know that the rain is good for the tomatoes and It means no watering to do tonight. But we have had so much rain. Just enough sunshine to make the grass grow overnight. But not enough dry weather to get the yard completely mowed.
But hopefully all this rain will mean the summer will not be as hot and dry.

Thought for today
It has become a struggle to keep my mind on what is important and how to rid myself of past anger. I have to remember not to let folks stir up old angers and hurts. It brings it right back to the present and that is not neccessary.
I have found that if you keep bringing up the old, bad memories it allows the bad to take control of your life and ruins what is good today.
There are times to walk away from what has hurt, angered, stressed you. There are times to walk away from folks who have lied to you, used you and essentially left you holding the bag so to speak. That is the time to straighten your shoulders and walk away from it. Sometimes remembering old angers can rob you of a wonderful experience.
