This interests me because my Uncle Walter, who was 18 at the time, was wounded at Iwo Jima.

NOVEMBER

My Mom painted this when I was a child.  I remember watching her.  

I was amazed at what she could create with so few brush strokes.

Election Day 2017

There are no elections at all in Vermont today!  No polls.  Wow.  Just wait 'til next year!!

How about you?  Any big races in your state?  Which races are you watching around the country?

Dave the Treadle Guy

Dave the Treadle Guy was here last Wednesday and pronounced Blossom in beautiful running order!  Pretty amazing that he lives just a two minute walk away. He lubricated everything, put in a new needle and gave me some excellent sewing machine oil to have on hand as needed. It looks like I'll have something fun to do this Winter!

There they go...
