Ruby's quilt top was finished and taken to the quilting machine the end of November and picked up on Dec. 21. I must say I rather like the orginal design. My next goal is to frame 56 blocks of the Grandmothers flower garden appliqued onto white blocks. The yellow center calls for the framing to be yellow. Then I shall take it to Joannie and her machine. The blocks were done by my Mother. She passed in 1993. I should be ashamed that they are not done into a quilt yet into a quilt. I am hoping to reach 100 yrs of age. I have 18 1/2yrs to complete the job. The childrens Christmas Eve program was cute with a few minor incidents that were really funnies. 2 & 3yr olds will steal any show on earth.
Making a tripto Lake Havsau City so visit some friends. They chaproned us to drive from Nebraska to Ohio so that we could apply our marriage licsense. I needed my Mother's signature.They had only been married 7 months but my father-in-law felt better if we did not go alone. Remember this was 1947.
AS we approach 2011 I pray that there will be a beginning of peace working so that we may move foward.
Our government will need some prayers. I usually am an optimist but the GOP scare the dickens from me as well as the Tea Party folks. They are looking for blood. And as usual when the GOP is in power the little guy will suffer.

before Christmas
Kinda got behind here. For one old lady I have gotten to busy. Guess that is what helps keep me young. But darn it does not make the "cracks" in my face go away. I no longer have wrinkles--cracks. One little guy in my Sunday School class calls them cracks.
The birth of our Lord is on the way. The real meaning of Christmas gets lost in all the advertising and push on the TV. I loved Christmas as a kid. We did not have much but were happy. We made a lot of our gifts and also the decorations on the tree. No tree here only a ceramic one made by our deceased daughter in 1980 for use in our Airstream travel trailer. Made a Christmas tree from our cactus in the front. After all this is the desert. . Last week it was 88 degrees. To warm for this time of year.
