I never seem to get to my sewing, by the time I can, it's late in the day~ I'm too tired.

I think all the wedding loose ends are taken care of and the newlyweds are arriving in Peru today for a two week stint to put in drinking water wells and pumps. Hope they get a lot done and have a good time.

As mentioned last week, Quilt Group Friendship blocks were due. The airplane is paper pieced. It's fun and can be addicting, you just have to make sure you work with a generous piece of fabric each step of the way.

*Mom's Gift

by Amber Spackman (with some help from dad)

I've been to London to visit the queen,

I'm friends with Jack Sprat, who could eat only lean,

I'm acquainted with Aesop, and all of his fables,

And I've become friends with Anne of Green Gables.

I've met Abraham Lincoln and Benjamin Harrison,

And Georgie, who kissed all the girls--how embarrasin'!

I've shivered with fright next to brave Nancy Drew,

Helped the Grinch steal Christmas from each Whoville Who.

I've lived in the future, traveled backward in time,

I won the Olympics, even though I'm just nine.

I could not have found red ferns, or 'coons that were treed,

If Mom hadn't helped me to learn how to read.

~Take Care
