Welcome!

I love working with crafts, rug hooking, wool felt, penny rugs and stitcheries. Primitives are my favorites, but I also love to mix different styles of decorating.

Please sit back, relax and enjoy my blog.

Father's Day without Our Dads

My Dad's been gone since 1991. I still miss him like it was yesterday. My significant other just lost his Dad in March of this year.

So we spent the day today at a friend's graduation get-together for her niece. My friend was so nice when Eddie's Dad passed away and brought food to the funeral home. We had a great time at the grad party today and Cathy's food was awesome. She and her Mom (also Cathy) have done some small catering jobs and the food was unbelievable.

We then went over to Eddie's brother and sister-in-law's house for dinner. Eddie's sister-in-law lost her Dad five weeks after Eddie's Dad passed away. It was a rough spring for our family. Eddie's nephews and niece lost both of their grandpas within 5 weeks. So without Eddie's Dad, his sister-in-law's Dad, and my Dad, we all just spent the day together. Eddie's brother and sister-in-law just had a pool put in and even though it was unbelievably hot, we had a good family day together. We needed to be together because it was the first Father's Day without Eddie's Dad Charlie and his sister-in-law's Dad Frank.

So another Father's Day passes, but it was a good one with our family around us.
