Jaws made its cinematic debut in 1975. Not even in double digits at the time I have memories that still gives me shivers even though I never saw the movie. Ever. One of the neighborhood kids decided it would be okay to tell me, an under 10 year old, about the movie. That led to … Continue reading Forty Days of Prayer for Quilters – Day 2

During the Triduum (Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday) I read … Continue reading Happy Easter!

Over the last few weeks the idea of practicing well … Continue reading Lent
