It was so nice to see all the friends at the birthday party. I had to look twice to recognize some of them; it had been so long since I had seen a few of them. Several of the friends have had some illnesses. Here is wishing they will be better soon.

My little girl Charleston isn't so little anymore. This past week, we celebrated her 11th birthday. As I was tucking her in the night before, I could feel the excitement. She had big plans for her special day. Thankfully, she looks like her mother, but I knew she was my daughter when she requested a mechanical bull at her birthday party.

It was Independence Day, as dusk began to fall on the land. An old Indian stood on a hill with his son, enjoying the magnificent view of the valley below. The land they looked out upon was once their ancestors’ land. They lived there together in peace. They hunted, fished, trapped, and planted crops to help support their tribe.

We are about to the end of another month. My friends are commenting on how the time is flying by. My list keeps getting bigger. Some new curtains were made for one window. Now, the mood is here to be at the sewing machine more.
