It appears Winter has finally come

Here it is mid January, and it appears that Winter has arrived. Brrrrr! Okay, I am not being wimpy, because I know that I do not have a snowy driveway to shovel out of, but it is chilly. Now, where is the rain? The hills around here are way, too dry!

Enjoying the sand and surf

The beautiful weather we experienced in December allowed us to hike the Tennessee Valley trail. Talk about gorgeous! We can't wait to go back!!!

Monday, and A happy little quilt

So, I made my sweet Momma this lap quilt, for her birthday. You can't go wrong with Amy Butler's beautiful fabrics from her latest Lark collection! The quilt is approximately 60" x 60".
