Hiking

Our new favorite place to go hiking.

Ben pointed out the poison ivy to me.
Then he decided to race the dog to the top of the hill and actually won.


The view from the top.



On the way home.

Out of the Closet

So I guess it is time that the closet quilter comes clean...... I know how to sew (somewhat) and I also LoVe fabric. I can walk into a fabric store and spend hours looking at all the different colors. I like to make up my own patterns for quilts. The quilts below show a design that I came up with. I have made these quilts for everyone I love who has had/or will have a baby lately.

What Foxworthy says about the STL

If someone mentions "The Landing" and it has
nothing to do with the space shuttle, you might live in St. Louis.


If you've worn shorts and a parka at the same time,
you might live in St. Louis.


If you measure distance in hours instead of miles, you
might live in St. Louis.


If you have switched from 'heat' to 'A/C' in the same day
and back again, you might live in St. Louis.


If you drive 75 miles through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard for some White Castles, you might live in St. Louis.


If you take I-Farty-Far to Six Flags,
you might live in St. Louis.


If someone says concrete and you think of Ted Drewes
instead of pavement, you might live in St. Louis.


If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph -- you're going 80
and everybody is passing you, you might live in St. Louis.


If you've ever skipped school, work, or even a court-date because you had tickets to an afternoon Cards, Blues or Rams game, you might live in St. Louis.


If you can say the words "Cahokia Mounds" and not think of
a candy bar, you might live in St. Louis.


If driving is better in the winter because the potholes are
filled with snow, you might live in St. Louis.


If you actually understand these jokes, you live or have lived in St. Louis.
