More news from Idaho!  While we were away there was a freak storm with gusts of 90 mph winds.  It all happened in about five minutes according to the mail carrier.

  Someone did this video of the storm.  A little over the top on the music, though.  Guess the locals hadn't seen this in the area for quite some time.

Who says an old dog can't learn new tricks? It has only taken me 2 hours but I managed to download pictures of my latest quilt and also some pictures of two totes I made. I am so proud of myself! Now if I could just remember how I did it. I am sure I did it the round about way but I managed all by myself. My kids would be so proud of me!

Dear Readers,

Thanks so much for your continual support of my writing. It’s been twenty years since I started Butterfield Books Inc., and I appreciate your support over two decades!

I have two series in the works right now that I want to tell you about.

We have been remodeling two bathrooms and I had a new double closet and laundry closet put in our master bedroom this summer. It is finally finishing up and I can get back into my sewing room, which has been the"dump" place for everything! I love the new stack w/d in my master bedroom. No more running up and down stairs.…

I'm feeling pretty good and taking my walks in the morning.  The leg still bothers me a bit while sitting but I'm able to do lots of sewing. I have taken pictures but can't post them as something has wiped out my pictures and both email accounts.  I haven't bothered to get it fixed yet as my computer man is a friend of mine and he has been super busy all Summer.

For those of you who know Yvonne in Canada, I was talking to her on the phone yesterday.  She is super busy with spending…

I just got done redoing my page and what a blast it was! I am a bright color person and I really laid it on. If anyone can't read it please let me know so I can change it. I felt like a little kid with a big box of crayons. It takes so little to make me excited.

Today I plan on taking one more round of quilting stitches on my daughter's quilt and I will finish up the pillow I made her out of the scraps. Then I hope to post some pictures. My next project will be a full sized strip…

Here is some of the scenery we saw while travelling in the Rockies. We went mid June.
