Life really can be a picnic!

Everyone loves a picnic! This blog is about some of the things I love the most, and the term "picnic" just about covers them all. First of all, a picnic has to include food; simple food that is easy to fix. Next, you need someplace fun or different to visit; a nice, peaceful location. And of course, you always need to take along a good book to read and a well-used quilt to spread everything out on. So, there you have it! Easy recipes, good books, fun quilts along with some interesting, down-to-earth places to visit. You can even take your family or a friend or two if you want.

I Believe

"Each of us is an Inn Keeper who decides if there is room enough for JESUS."~ Neal A. Maxwell



     Last Tuesday was our annual Christmas luncheon for Quilt Guild.  The theme this year was "BEE-lieve".  Our challenge was to make a small quilt, less than 100 inches in circumference, that either had a bee on it or showed something that we personally believe in.  The lunch was great and we had one of our members, Sam, do a trunk show for us that was outstanding.






































     This past year I made a new friend, Mary Louise, and she shared with me some chocolate muffins.  I just have to say they are delicious.  So delicious there are no words to describe how delicious.  And she was so nice to share the recipe with me.
