That should keep you busy for a while, but then again you are very fast with your needles. Piper just keeps getting cuter and cuter, I know that you are so happy to be able to see her more and watch her grow up. Having a grandmother that reinforces her in the ways of the Lord is a gift that will be a blessing in her life now and all through her years. The more our children are taught the ways of the Lord and from family and loved ones . . . the less we have to worry about their future. I'm sure that her parents are over joyed that you moved back there. <br />Love your new dinning room table . . . I see Thanksgiving dinner at your house :) <br />Betsy, it is always a pleasure to stop in for a blog visit, I always feel so welcome. God bless you and your family.<br /> Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-58683516437698683412021-06-25T05:15:14.371-05:002021-06-25T05:15:14.371-05:00Piper's nails are just plain spooky LOL!

Well done. Many years ago I moved into a huge house with my husband, little money as we'd overstretched ourselves and ploughed all our savings into buying a bigger house and our furniture certainly didn't stretch to fill a second lounge/diner. I still recall the thrill of finding in the small ads, £25 in those days, a beautiful but battered teak sideboard. I spent hours/days with wire wool rubbing it down and then oiling with teak oil until it looked like new. A few years later when we could afford to furnish more I gave it to someone in need as it had truly saved us at the time. Often something pre-loved is a real blessing. And boy, it looks great! Love your yarn and Miss Piper is a real doll!<br /><br />Di xxDihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06153667791623954306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162150278449660664.post-40115720444128607792021-06-24T08:06:52.875-05:002021-06-24T08:06:52.875-05:00The yarn is a great catch!

Why would she buy that? Nice yarn you got! As Araignee wrote about a fiber fest, the one I usually go to in Canby most likely will be at Linn County fairgrounds in Albany. Not sure why they can't do it in Canby as they've done in the past and closer than Albany. Will see at Clackamas county has been opened up. Still waiting for Mario county as governor keeps changing her mind. It is getting warmer each day and 101 degrees on Sat. so I am not going to an outdoor gathering as I don't even know what it as the park, tree---covering...sad as it was a classmate's family's gathering for people who knew him. Good thing to get your will taken care of. We need to get ours done as well.Megan is feeling much beter, thankfully.
