Suba-boo

Suba-Boo!

Meet my new car, a Subaru Crosstrek! My daughter has named her Suba-boo because she is ghostly white.

My previous ride was a White 2012 Ford Escape named Pearl and I rode the wheels off of that ride! Which was always the plan as I have enjoyed years and years of not having a car payment, but it was well past time of needing a new car. The maintenance was becoming quite expensive and the Ford was becoming unreliable. So needless to say, I am very happy with my new ride!

I have been looking at Subarus for more than a few years and although the Foresters and Outbacks are beautiful, I kept seeing and looking at the Subaru Crosstreks.

Obviously I have a particular fondness for white cars.

I love my new car, she drives and rides like a dream.

She comes with all of the new technology, technology that I won't lie, will take some getting used to. Needless to say going from a 2012 car that actually used a key to start to a 2026 that has a button and key fob situation is very different.

We Are Family

Yesterday afternoon we had our first family visit in our new home. My nephew and his beautiful family came by to see us and our new home. It was a great evening visiting.

It makes me very happy to have family in our new home. I hope this is the first of many family visits. I've had several friends over already and I hope there will be many more visits from both family and friends.

New Sewing Space

New house, new sewing space ... it's all beginning to come together. I'm looking forward to many happy hours in our new home and my new sewing space.

Not the final configuration of notions but getting everything visible for some serious organizing. There is still a lot of work to do but, I'm looking forward to every moment of it.

Our Daily Bread

Daily Bread

This morning I made my first loaf of bread in our new home. Whenever I make bread I always think of the Lord's Prayer.

Give us this day our daily bread.

It was no different for me this morning as I made the first loaf of bread in our new home. I am truly blessed and have so much to be thankful for.

JUNE 2026

This year is zooming by!

This year has been a whirlwind! There really isn't a better word to describe it! I simply can't believe that June has arrived and that it has arrived so quickly. Spring thus far as been very mild and very nice but after our current rainy spell the HEAT is due to arrive.

I'm hopeful that the rest of our spring and summer will tick by at a much slower pace.

I'm ready to enjoy some summer time fun!

Change Brings More Change

Change as in planning, prepping, priming, painting, purchasing new furniture, and assembly, of course!

Plastic drop clothes ... for the win!

Deciding on the perfect color ... Bit of Sugar by Behr Flat Interior paint

Gathering all the needed tools of the trade.

First up ... prep and priming ... KILZ primer to cover the dark heavy gray color on the walls.

My new sewing room furniture ordered and delivered.

Now for the assembly ...

I promise to post the big reveal of my new space once everything is in place.

Big Change - More Later - It's Later

More Later - It's Later ...

I promised more news later on the changes that May would bring ...

WE MOVED!

And by we, I mean me and my daughter. We bought a house together!

I packed up my little house and my sewing room and moved into a split level rancher with my daughter.

We have been talking about buying a house together for several years and NOW seemed the perfect time. As I head toward retirement in a few years it just made sense to find the home of our dreams that fits our plans for the future.

And, we found it!!!
