This and That

  Do you ever feel like you are wearing out? Boy, I do! I think I felt like I was 18 until I

hit 45, then it all starting going down hill from there!

I am starting on a trip down to Iowa today for a family reunion and my oldest son

is on his way to NY. He is a "trouble-shooter" lineman and has been called to be

on hand for Hurricane Irene. Would you  join me to pray for

all those folks in its path there on the east coast? It would be a blessing if it would

just go back out to sea where it belongs.But these storms have a mind of their own,

 it seems.

You've probably noticed that my photos do not relate in any way to what I'm posting, but

I can't imagine a post without pictures and these are samples of log homes ideas I like.

I think this would look nice in a log home. I have several totes of wool I've

collected with rug hooking in mind, but I could spare some of it for a beautiful

quilt like this. I have some pieces already started from a Sue Spargo pattern

two years ago. I haven't run across them yet in my de-cluttering. But when I

do, I'll show you what I've done so far.

This is a nice stone pathway. It does look like an awful lot of work though!

And what about these stones? This would look nice on the little slope down to the beach.

On second thought, who could possibly lift those humongous rocks?
