RUN DON'T WALK TO YOUR MAILBOXES!
I got a sneak peek of the April 2011 WSJ it is is fabulous!
NO, I don't get mine early for being the daughter of the editor, although I think I should.
The cover is a rug that hangs on my mom's wall in her home. I have 2 sisters that I will have to compete with to add it to my collection, not an easy task. I remember watching mom hook on it, and each time she finished a berry or a leaf I wanted to run my hands over it. I can't wait to get my magazine and find some quiet time to turn the pages quickly to see what is in it and then go back over each page slowly and read each page to be sure not to miss a thing. I have a special place that I keep all my WSJ's and go back to them frequently to get the creative juices flowing.
I know you pour your heart n' soul into each page of every magazine and it shows!
Love you mom!
Thank you Lord for the spring season, boy am I ready for it! I know all my friends in New York are ready! With this cold weather we have been having across the land I can picture all the birds nestled down in their nests and the bunnies cuddled up tight to their mommies trying to stay warm. Here in Georgia the sun came out to warm things up a bit today, it felt good on my face when I went outside to walk around the yard, which I had not done in weeks. It wont be long until we see buds on the trees, plants and new life all around. Until then I will try to stay content with the cold weather and enjoy my hooking knowing there are no weeds to be pulled or dead heading to be done. Stay Warm my friends!

s had yet begun to fall. Finally around 9pm the snow started to fall. The boys would check the TV and Internet for school closings and I knew from the sound of shouting coming from the other room that they had seen their school name go across the bottom of the television screen. It snowed all night and when we woke up this morning we had 6 inches!! For Georgia that is a massive snow storm! The boys quickly got their homework done so they could go and play in it. Of course being teenagers playing in the snow is not building a snowman it is a snowball fight.
~Yesterday was a somber day for our family and especially for our son Jake. He lost his friend Jack Gardner. Jack battled cancer/brain tumor for many years. It was so hard for Jake to watch his friend suffer and slowly slip away. We reflected with Jake as he told funny stories about Jack and the great memories he has and will hold onto. Jake was thankful that Jack went peacefully and quietly!
