Wasn’t this a great week to be from Rochester, especially if you’re a woman? I don’t know anyone who wasn’t watching the soccer game yesterday or at least eagerly waiting for the results. I’ve never met Abby Wambach, Jennifer Suhr, or Meaghan Musnicki but I feel like I know them. I guess celebrity does that. And […]

Gary and I have been babysitting our grandson Evan every Monday since January. Gary calls it the Monday club. This week we had a guest who insisted on getting into a Monday Club picture.

I was working on some quilts again last week for a couple of baptisms. Since I had a deadline, I decided to buy quilt kits instead of starting from scratch – kind of like making a cake from a box. I still had to measure, cut, pin, and sew, but I didn’t have to think […]

Independence Day has taken on a new meaning for Gary and me this year because two days ago we closed on our house that had been for sale for two years. This was the house of our dreams that we had built in 1978 after spending hours driving around eastern Monroe County and western Wayne County […]

I haven’t blogged in a while because my website was being refurbished. I hope you like the new look. So what have I been doing in the past few months? I’ve been getting ready to close one chapter of my life and open a new one. I’ve been doing the final clean out of the […]
