It has been another long time since I've posted. Been too busy with life. Sonny had one of his knees replaced. And he has done marvelous. Has really gotten back to walking and doing around the place and it has only been 5 weeks. He has his other knee scheduled for December. It has taken all my energy with helping him. 

We had to let the outside yard work and garden go as I can't physically handle it. Also with late freeze and June drought our fruit and garden harvest were awful this year. Only fruit we got was about 1/3 the blueberries we normally get. Strangely we got an over abundance of muscadine grapes.

We got our German shepherd in December. She was born on Halloween and is fitting as she can be such a monster at times. She is now 10months old and weighs 80+ pounds. We had her spayed at the spay clinic in July and it seems to have settled her some. She is still a handful though. 

The first bed we bought her, she shredded.

We keep her outside during the day and in her crate at night.

I've not hooked a rug in over a year now but have mainly worked on quilts. I've made 2 baby quilts for gifts for young couples in our church. And finally finished the star top and have it at the quilters to be quilted. I hand tied the baby quilts. I also hand quilted 2 star baby quilts with left over blocks from my big quilt. 

We were rather busy with church this past year as well. Sonny was teaching Wednesday night Bible study and I was doing a weekly ladies Bible study at our house. But with Sonny's surgery, we ended our work at church. The church had their annual elections and we both stepped down. I am continuing to make the bulletin each week and help the children teachers when needed. I hope to get here more often and post more.
