They are the best of friends and have 
great times together.

This is the view from the back of my house, a beautiful snow covered day 2010. It's melting slowly.
  
To enjoy the winter time I do alot of sewing and cooking. On Wednesdays each week my sewing friends and I spent a day together sewing, visiting and enjoying good food. I'll be telling you more and sharing pictures about "Don't Mess With My Wednesdays Quilt Group later.
