And then there were five...
My second to the oldest brother, George, passed away today (on my husband's birthday). He was 63. Two siblings in one year *sigh*
Just like me, it needs a lot work

- Thank you for taking the time to stop by! I post things I craft or make in the kitchen and sometimes talk about my family. I'm the mom of identical twin daughters who are all grown up now, and I've been married for almost 40 years. My life isn't very exciting, but I like it that way. Whether you are a subscriber or not, I hope I've shared something you can relate to and feel at home here in my little house out back.
