A Sweet Getaway

-
We are in Hershey, Pa
the the State Fair Convention.
You have to love a place that drops
Hershey kisses
like confetti!

Hershey kisses on the wallpaper

Hershey bars at check-in.
Chocolate, everywhere.
Does it get any better than this?

Dinner, last night.
Wish that I would have taken a picture of the dessert.
Death, by chocolate!

There is quite the story leading up to the departure for this trip.
"Normal" chaos of life.
and then
a speeding ticket along the way.
All put behind
out of mind
and
now time to relax
and
enjoy!

Yesterday was spent
with a
friend that I do
not get to see enough.

It was so nice to catch up.
Why
didn't I take any pics of us together?

Hi Cathy, So glad you are away and enjoying yourself. Sure would love to trade hotels with you. Although I don't need a smidgen of chocolate, I would love to be in Hershey, PA. Have always wanted to visit. Catching up with a friend is a great way to spend your time. Have a good and safe trip. Great picture of you and the mister.

Samuel’s School

In December, I had the opportunity to travel to West Bengal, India on a mission trip with my church. Six of us made the trip to care for the children of mission workers who would be attending a conference there.   The last full day that we were there we went to a school in a nearby village and met Samuel who runs the school there.  He is a converted Hindu and teaches Hindu children a Christian based curriculum in English.   His school has been very successful because of the high quality of education he is providing.   This allows him to present the gospel to children and their parents often.  The problem?  He has more students than classroom space.  And three swings for over 200 children!  Such well behaved children! Such even lines!  Some of the older children are having outside class! They are starting a classroom on the second floor.  Here is where my part of the story comes in.   Samuel’s school was my moment.  That moment ...

Walker/Wheelchair Bag Tutorial

Some of you asked for this. This is literally one of the EASIEST, most appreciated projects that I have ever made. I timed myself while I made this one and it was finished in under 1/2 hour and that included refilling bobbins, taking pictures, and searching the button box for two matching buttons. They are even faster if 1.) you don't do all of the above and 2.) you make them on an assembly line. Step 1. Cut a piece of fabric for the straps 4 inches wide by 14 or so inches long. If you have a very lightweight fabric, you can double it or use press on interfacing to back it. Step 2. Cut two coordinating rectangles approximately 12 to 15 inches by 15 to 18 inches. This is very loose, you can use vary the size of them. Pin those together on the bottom and halfway up the sides. Step 3. Press the 4 inch rectangle in half lengthwise with wrong sides together and sew around raw edges, then zig - zag the edge. If the fabric frays really bad, you can go over it again. Step 4...
