It's Here....Finally!!


The waiting is over...Maria finally received her letter from Oxford Brookes!! She will be going to Grad school there in the Fall to get her MA in Creative Writing....now she needs to pay the deposit!:)

And here are the last four of the twelve small quilts I pieced last year. I put the one with the stars on Craft Hope for Haiti and it sold right away....Thanks Lynz!! The other one I donated is Whimsical Trees. In only a few days they have made over $15,000.00 for Doctors Without Borders in Haiti....go visit and buy something!:)

The Road Well Travel Part II.....and the Winner!

Yesterday Don and I went on another hike since we knew it was supposed to rain all day today...and it did and still is. We went back to Harper's Ferry and walked across the walking bridge to Maryland's C & O Canal Towpath but before crossing we watched the water flowing over the Shenandoah River. There are some old bridge trestles there that have cedar trees growing in them....how do they do that, especially in the summer! Must have LONG roots.


Old train trestle bridge from WV into MD with a view of VA on the right!:)






The Tunnel going under Maryland Heights, MD...
a hike we haven't tried yet because I'm a big chicken!:)

Maybe next sunny weekend...will have to pack a
backpack and carry lots of water and snacks for the
stopping and resting will be often!





Walking back across the Potomac to Harper's Ferry. Then Pumpkin Spiced coffee and a trip to the grocery store.....priceless!:)

Oh yeah...what you really want to know is who is who won the runner...Don picked a piece of paper out of Maria's Easter basket and the winner of the Wonky Runner is........yep....Lynne of Oz!! Yippee!:) Dear Lynne...I'll be emailing you soon to get your mailing info. Hopefully I can get it in the mail tomorrow!! Thank you all for your lovely comments and yes, as far as I'm concerned...if you are walking anywhere you are hiking!



And lastly but more importantly, Craft Hope for Haiti is an
etsy.com shop that is accepting handcrafted donations that they
will post and sell and all the money from the sale (minus etsy fees)
goes to Doctors Without Borders in Haiti! I am going to put two of
my small quilts on the site...just giving you a heads up!:)
If you don't want a quilt...go see what else they have for sale or donate something yourself....it feels good!


Loving this aqau colored door!
