After The First Hail Store - Leaky Door - a post to my diary

Of course this was after hubby installed the pocket door and new wood floor in the bedroom.  What a fan can do for a wet floor!  This is off our bedroom to the patio.  The hail was mounted so high on the door we could not get it open or out...but as it melted....:( :(  DRIP DRIP DRIP from the second floor to the first floor.....What a mess.

Turns out it was a good thing as we had bad news surrounding the door.  But now all better!

Oh the hot summer days on the patio with this one with fresh squeezed lemonade!

Across The Pond, Such a Nice Lady - a post ot my diary

I have always loved this Victorian winter holiday card and at some point saw there is a graph for stitching it.  No where on earth could I find and so the mission began - and then...this wonderful lady across the pond sent me her working pages to stitch mine.  Maybe this as a new start?
