Global warming? Then why am I freezing?
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: January 29, 2009
I have heard so many people say that lately.
However, I don’t think the public realizes that global warming means there will be extreme temperatures – extremely hot….extremely cold, which it is now.
Remember how hot it was last summer and every one was saying “whew, this global warming – must be something to it”.
Perhaps it should [...]

Yesterday I surfed some sewing sites and came upon an article – how to organize your sewing room; Since mine looks like this (no comments, please) I thought I might learn something.

Arrived in Albuquerque Friday afternoon and headed to Old Towne. Cathedral on the square looked so pretty in the sunlight with the dark, menacing clouds (when we lived in MI we called these snow clouds).

NCAA needs to observe their refs
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: January 18, 2009
Going to WKU basketball games this year has given me interesting observation – the older the ref, the more fouls are called.
