When the children are TOO quiet... check in on them.

My co-worker shared this photo he found on line.

It makes me laugh and cry at the same time.

Fortunately, this has never happened at our house.

I hope it never happens at you house either...

Stained Glass work

I had the opportunity to take a class on stained glass. I have really been enjoying this new hobby. The only downside has been the piece of glass stuck in my foot and a few occasional burns from hot solder.

I have been making Christmas gifts so some of my pieces will not be displayed until after they are given away.

My first project was a panel with a rose, and since I made some jewelry boxes. Yesterday I made a snowman, it took a little over (6) hours, the candy-cane and the star took a couple hours each.

I use lead-free solder so I had to purchase an 800 degree iron tip.

I'm thinking it might be fun to teach a class at the community center some time.

Visit for Thanksgiving A POEM

We had such a great Thanksgiving Day!
Meshya and my parents came to play.

Dad had Christmas stained glass to work on…
Mom did the big sewing marathon.

Christmas will be a great thrill this year;
With homemade gifts for all to share

We learned a new game called “Curses”;
It makes you laugh at those you versus.

The house was full on our Turkey Day…
Mary’s cooked feast and we sang away!

Christmas carols around the piano;
Some sang low and others soprano.

The puzzle was started on a table;
Pieces were fit by all those able.

Black Friday was peaceful and calm;
We stayed home where it was warm.

We saw Triple Espresso and laughed;
At three guys in the comedy act.

Santa’s workshop was busy Saturday;
Clothes for the Christmas baby were made.

The weather was nice the whole week;
Sunday the snow came in a white streak.

We had such a great Thanksgiving Day!
The thing that came too fast was Monday.
