My Get Away

As many of you know, I am the primary care giver for my grandmother. I live with her and do my best to make her comfortable as I can. I have lots of aunts that come in and help and my uncle cooks every day, thankfully I don't do this alone. She has a visiting nurse practitioner that comes out each week to check her blood work and all the other, so I really do get too burned out. But some times I do need to get away and this week, I went to my daughters for 3 days. It was a nice visit with her and two of my grandchildren. Of course I bought a vintage handkerchief that I will put on my site later.



Next week I hope to get away again for an overnight stay some where too. Maybe I'll go to Bardstown. I really had a nice time there.



Anyway, I have put some of my things on sale on my website. Check out the sale page for some discounts. Also the quilt kits have reduced prices as well.

93 Years Young

I was in Krypton Kentucky (in Eastern Kentucky) this weekend to celebrate my grandmother's 93rd birthday. She is the most wonderful woman. She has been more than strong when she needed to be and kind when it was called for. I love her to death.

This picture was taken in my uncles summer kitchen. They have a log house he and his wife built themselves and they then built this summer kitchen. The second picture is of my daughter and niece and another view of the summer kitchen.

July Heat -- Hello from Tennessee

It is July and it's hot. I have such a hard time in the summer with the heat. Even if I stay indoors with the air conditioning I get asthma and I swell. (TMI -- I know too much info). I have found that here in Tennessee I don't feel as bad as I do in Virginia. Maybe because the humidity is worse in Virginia. But it is summer and I deal. How about you? How do you beat the heat?

My 4th was great -- here in Tennessee you can buy fireworks and shoot them off -- can't do that in Virginia so my daughter bought a bunch of fire works and we had our own show. It was so much fun.

Next week end my daughter and I are going to Kentucky to my grandmothers 93 birthday. She is only 4 hours from here. My grandmother is the most amazing woman and I love her to death.

I'll be in here in Tennessee for another couple of weeks then back to Virginia to prepare for two big craft shows.
