  This happened on Saturday Night.   A modern ballet performed in Armstrong County featuring eleven artists from the county.  I am in the red in the middle.  I seriously dislike being in front of crowds and public speaking.   It was a challenge, but I was honored to be chosen and to sit alongside such amazing talent.  I have been singing, in my head, the song from A Chorus Line,  At the Ballet,  for days.          Back to reality, I am nursing a sore throat and spent much of yesterday resting in my chair and working  on catching up my temperature blanket.   My new years resolution already is to not take on any year long projects next year.  The year before I did a Block of the Month quilt and a sampler afghan.  Too much pressure and seriously over estimating how much time retirement would give me.             Sunday morning was spent decorating...

There's a lot to tell. First of all, yesterday I was the DD. That is our short term for Dialysis Driver. Three hours to kill in Kittanning, PA. That's Ok, if it is once in awhile, but in the last year, I thought I had exhausted all the possibilities of entertainment available there. Until yesterday. This is Buttermilk Falls. I had not been there in years. As a matter of fact, I got lost three times trying to find it. When I did... I couldn't resist... But the water was so cold! Such a pretty place! I'll probably be back! I did manage to get a few more purses done. Packed away for the open house... But maybe I'll leave one out for a giveaway... And a towel that I had started months ago. Yesterday I found these at a local thrift shop. Less than $5 each. Promptly painted the frames last night, and this morning I hung them over our bed. See that? My name! They actually had my name on them, Literally! And I found the Kittanning Free Library, although because...

Today was my day again to drive to dialysis. For those of  you that were confused on a previous post. my MIL in on dialysis, not me.   We recently set up a schedule to drive her there. So far it is working out great. So, as I am considering my driving day a day off, here is what I did with my day. First, I went to the gym. That was not pretty, it had been awhile since I was there. I can tell already that it is going to be worse tomorrow. Then... I hit the jackpot. I had seen this shop several times but had either been in a hurry, or it was after hours when I went by. Since I had time to kill today, this was my first stop after the gym. WOW! Is all I can say. They have so much stuff jammed in this place. It is called B and R Depot and is on Route 66 just north of Kittanning. B and R as I thought about it later is for Barbara and Ron. They were so friendly and interesting to talk to. Ron even loaded this end table that I bought into the back of the car for me! If you are out ...
