    One of the last times I took my mother to doctor's before her death from Alzheimer's/kidney failure, I put in a cd of Andy Griffith's gospel music. Mother had not known who I was for over a year and was not able to hold a conversation. But when that music came on, she began singing the songs perfectly, remembering every word. I joined in and we sang our way across Houston's afternoon rush hour. I didn't care how long it took because it was such a blessed time. Six months later I lost both her and my husband within 9 days of each other. But I will always remember that blessed afternoon.
    Thank you to you and all the other gospel singers!

    I grow African Violets, orchids, do some stamping, love to cook ethnic foods, and I have run a private rescue for dogs from my home.

    In summer..my quilting/sewing slows down and I tend my flower gardens and feed the native birds which I adore too.

    Read, sew, quilt, bake bread, crochet (13 afghans made for last Christmas), knit "Nebraska" stocking caps for the babies at the local hospital (1500 so far). Also enjoy making small projects with cloth and paper, such as quilted postcards, table runners, etc.

    knitting, crocheting, spin wool, gardening, Civil War civilian reenactor, and genealogy. I am also really interested in making items from vintage patterns - mostly 19th century, some early 20th century. They can certainly be a challenge sometimes, though.

    Have been doing counted cross stitich & crocheting for over 20 yrs. I decided to try something new and just finished my beginner's quilt class and first lap quilt. Loved the class I took and quilt I made & now I think I've got a new love "QUILTING"
