Bren, the new photo of your old quilt studio is wonderful!! I'm sure that anyone who looks at it must break into a big smile!! It's true, I know that I did!  Lorna, you are right the UK is a great place to be stationed. Lots of interesting places and things to see and do. DH and I have promised ourselves that when the kids are self-sufficient we will tour around the UK and visit all the sites we have wanted to for years. Enjoy it while you can. |

Bren , I am lucky enough to be stationed in England this time around. My husband is retired Air Force and I am still on Active Duty for a few more years. My step daughter and her husband are stationed at Landstuhl Germany. I love, love, love the cathedrals, churches, sheep, ancient Roman and Anglo-Saxon ruins, museums, art, castles, manor houses...It is awesome to be here and experience life and history in the United Kingdom. Thanks, Lorna And we nearly speak the same language too!  |

Bren, the buildings you are working on sound interesting. We "fix" lots of things around here too. My husband says he is going to fix up an old building for us to retire in. As long as it has a Quilting Room. We did lots of the inside work on our log house 30 years ago. But there is always something more to finish or remodel. But, we had a house when the kids were small. It seems big now with just the two of us till the kids, and 6.8 grankids come out for the day. Grandchild #7 due in about a month! I looked on a map and see Millboro is 273 miles from Bowman, ND. We live 30 miles from Bowman, the closest grocery store, doctor, implement dealer, high school, etc. We like living out here where we don't see any traffic or have any noise. Have a good spring. Karen, Oh ...My... Gosh...! We are 30 miles from toilet paper too! I mean from town too! My friends from town just dont get that toilet paper comment, if only they lived on the ranch during a 12 day blizzard, 4 and a half feet of snow, no electricity for 12 days, no running water because there is no power to pump the water and men who still have to "GO" and then you run out of TP!!! By the way for the city girls reading this you can flush your toilet during this no electricity 12 day period of time, all you have to do is take an empty 5 gallon bucket to the creek, chop a hole in the ice, fill your bucket with water, carry it back to the house and pour it in the stool... it will flush magically! With or without TP in it! LOL! Isn't it a small world? We too have a big empty house except when all the kids and 4.71/2 grandkids come home, then it is tiny again... The newest cowboy will be riding in sometime late May! Making it 2 grand cowgirls and 3 grand cowboys... Best of luck with your hubby fixing you a retirment house/building. We are having fun doing ours so far...(I think)... :shock: little by little...  And Congtats on your new little grand baby! Aren't they just the BEST thing in life! Glad to hear from you neighbor to the North and fellow Dakotan!  Always in stitches, Bren Thanks for the note back. Grandkids are the best. We have 4 boys and twin girls so far. Will be fun to keep in touch. Karen |

Bren, your life sounds as hyper-active as mine! Isn't there something wonderful about restoring old buildings? Our home and our holiday home were both derelict buildings before we restored them. It is so rewarding and nice to think that we are preserving something for a few more generations (with luck). I don't know if you have found your way to the blogs yet but you would make a great blogger. Now what about being the first one to post your spools quilt in the Wot RoTT Show and Tell area? Rita, you know my pain! It is a lot of work but well worth it in the end I do hope! I wanted to tell you I love the name of where you live. Emerald Isle... it sounds so beautiful! |
