Shee..thanks for the compliment...I've seen your pic..and I feel 'You' are the adorable one!! Punk...glad I didn't let you down. I know what you mean about buying it then think about it later...I try to do that..but this time around...I think I was so overwhelmed...I got 'Stupid' !! :( As far as putting it all away... I really had to work hard at it today...finding places to squeeze things in. I'll have to go back to rearrange and change where they went.. that's the hardest part...and it's getting harder. Gosh, I feel one day when I'm gone, they're gonna say.. This was one 'Sick' lady...with all these dishes!! jane

Ravencajun, I would like some advice if you don't mind. My sister needs to replace her old desktop computer. She is thinking she would like a laptop. She needs something basic and simple. Her vision is very poor and her hands are very crippled. All she needs or wants to do is email, facebook, her online banking and some shopping. Would you have any comments or suggestions of what I should think about and look for? We would appreciate any help.

I've bought several issues of Mark Lipinski's Quiter's Home; I absolutly love this magazine and will be subscribing to it this month. I'm like a lot of you; since the mid-70s I've collected so many quilting books and mags that I no longer find a lot that I need. My quilting tastes are more traditional. While I love the new styles of bold prints, colors, fabrics, and techniques; I still prefer little calico prints in soft colors and old fashioned, traditional patterns. Log Cabins, Dresden Plates, and 9-Patches make me happy. And yet, I'm subscribing to Quilter's Home which is more modern. LOL Any publisher/quilting dude that calls his readers "Cupcake," "Chicken," and "Doll" in each issue; who includes food and cocktail recipes in each issue, and puts a picture of his beloved dog on each cover, has my attention. Add informative and interesting quilting articles and he has my limitled magazine budget, too! Check it out. It's a great magazine. The only other magazine I subscribe to, like Kathi MDGD, is Birds and Blooms. I've subscribed to it since the early 90s, but its quality and size is going downhill too. It use to never have ads; now it does. This will by my last subscription to it. I'll pull out all the old issues (stored in order, LOL) and enjoy the "good old days" all over again.

I made my weekly trip to Goodwill. They had a sale - sweaters $2, pants $1. I wish I could have shopped for pants but I had Dan with me. I did find two Talbot cotton ribbed cardigans, one in black and one in blue. My theory is that one can never have too many black cardigans or cardigans in any color really. I like to layer. That was it. Oh, I bought Dan a 47 cent monkey to keep him happy while I shopped. So I spent $4.50. Total spent this weekend between yard sales and Goodwill - under $15.
