Two from Sarah and Lorelei.....

This morning when I finally got on the computer, this pic awaited me from Sarah and Lorelei.  They found this white line sphinx this morn before Lorelei went to school  Look how big it is on Lorelei's hand.  Oh, Click and enlarge to see it better.

Then a few minutes ago, she had her mommy send me this one.  Notice the hands...that is her wordless 'I love you.'

This time tomorrow she will be here.  She has plans for us to go fishing.  She will be wanting to look for all kinds of bugs, etc.  When we go hiking or for a walk...she calls it 'traveling.'  Its "Hey, Mamaw, let's go traveling."

School or church?

We came across this on our way home from Goose pond a couple weeks ago.  We both think it was a school, but that is just us.

I wish now I had gathered my courage in hand and walked up and looked in to see what I could see from up close.  I don't recall seeing a 'No Trespassing' sign.

So, which do you think it is?  And what is your reasoning.  We have no real reason that we can point to it being a school...it was just a feeling we had.  But it was out in the middle of no where.  There was a house just a ways on down the road...but that was about it.  No community of any sort.

Speaking of school, Lorelei is coming this weekend.  Sarah said she went to get her up this morn, and before she even opened her eyes, she said, "Mom, I love going to school!"  May it always be that way!

Mixing and stirring....

I have spent a big part of this day pulling out fabric and putting it back up.  It is a wonder it doesn't look like this tote of scraps.

I have a backing almost all the way made for my small quilt, but I do not like it.  I don't like it at all.  I cannot make up my mind what to do...do I put it all away and come back to it later?  Should I cut it apart and sew it back together...kind of mix it up?  Do I put this backing away and start a totally new one?

I didn't want to start a new one, but I am close to making that decision.  Even if I am not down there messing with it all, I am sitting with the thought of it sitting there in the back of my mind.
