My first entry!

What a wonderful day! My daughter drove over to spend the day with me.
We visited Linda's Quilt shop to buy some floss ( I am just learning to embroider and I love it!) and of course Ange had to have a really neat Christmas book with all kinds of decorating ideas and yummy recipes. (and it was marked down so that made it even better!)
Then we visited a unique little shop called Southern Accents and bought a candle that smelled good enough to eat!
We went to eat at a country buffet and of course eat to much but promised ourselves we would do better in the New Year.
Then we dropped by my favorite "junk" store. I spotted a neat pair of really old ice skates, that I might just have to have. They would make the coolest wintertime decoration.
Then we come home and had so much fun browsing through the book she got, making big plans to make several items before next Christmas.


She got ready to leave giving us all hugs. I reminded her that the next time we saw her she would be Dr. Ange. It is so hard to believe that she has almost made it. 10 long years and in 20 days she will be finished! Ready to live her dream. This is a picture of her with one of her patients.

Welcome to blogland. Isn't it fun? I never have to much to say on my blogs but I do enjoy it all. Congrats to your daughter and of course to you too. Dr. Ange---sounds good, huh. Sue is very neat so glad you made her acquaintance. MB

Just love the look of your new blog. I, too, am an Appalachian mountain girl from West Virginia and transplanted to the Tennessee. But the mountains are in my blood and my heart often longs to go back.

Your day out with your daughter sounds perfect! I can't imagine anything more fun. Congratulations to your daughter~ What a wonderful accomplishment and such a cute patient as well.

Look forward to reading more!

Blessings,
Lea
