I am working on my Mattie Kate bunny today. I’ve finished Mattie Kate II and there are some definite improvements but I still see some things that need to change. She is sitting up better, but her front legs are just too skinny and her back legs will n…
A scruffy young lad named Bobby
Ran into a girl who was snobby
She flew the red flag

Today has been windy. I still hear it whirling around outside and I’m not anxious to go to bed with that sound, especially since Kris isn’t here to ensure I don’t notice it. I normally love it when the kids go to bed, but these nights without Kris make…
