They finally saw the light. If you're going to drive in snow, well, it just makes sense my Dear Watson.<br /><br />p.s. Wish I had a machine that made lovely buttonholes.

My mother is not a big sewing fan and my Grandmother, who spent her life sewing, must have had buttons everywhere, but alas, when house clean up got done, far far away from where I was, the buttons ( and everything else) went somewhere, I know not where. Pictures, personal items etc. either tossed or yard saled in a fast effort by my Uncle to sell the house and grab the cash.<br />Cindie, it was a rare moment that Jack looked so zen like.<br />Oooh Susan, a puppy, how exciting. Get two they're small! ;)<br />Judy, I will enjoy the snow, as long as it stays that way. NO RAIN PLEASE! Yes, the bobcat was exciting, but not near as exciting as the lynx that wandered into our barn one winter. Hard to tell who was more surprised, me or him/her.<br />Nancy, yes, the flags are not fancy weaving, in fact rather course compared to what these two can weave themselves, but they are done with lots of love for those being honored and on their journey away from us.<br />Wildlife is always welcome a distance from the barn!Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574936988046982209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7850972750087291265.post-91593528938491470792010-11-19T18:00:54.555-08:002010-11-19T18:00:54.555-08:00Wow...so much to respond to.

We do I guess...I have a box of buttons my Mom held onto and it has comingled with mine and my grandmothers (two) to be a handsome collection! I was just in there the other day looking for a button for Jack's jacket and found one that matched in less than five!<br />We just had a bobcat photoed on a game cam here last week...they pass through regularly on the back 40, along with the coyotes and bear and whathaveyou.

As I add a few new ones every so often, I often wonder what will happen to them later when I've gone to the big Studio in the sky!<br /><br />As one of the recipients of the prayer flags, we can't thank you enough for all your efforts on our little Connor's behalf.<br />The tears are less and we're starting to remember the happier times. <br /><br />We do have our name down for a puppy or slightly older Welsh terrier from Orting, WA next year.
