Later in the month I began work on Topper’s memory quilt, completed in time for his 10th birthday on February 6th. I also finally opened my Etsy store with the… Continue reading 2022 Year in Review

E is for Electric Bicycle
Happy Anniversary! On September 28th we celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary. Rather than traditional jewelry--of which I have enough to open my own store after two dozen previous anniversaries, not to mention birthdays, Christmas, and Mother's Day--Karl decided I needed an electric bicycle, so I can keep up with him on our battlefield rides (which sometimes become an actual… Continue reading E is for Electric Bicycle
