Snow 01/18/12
By Artie Cardona
As of midnight this morning there was no snow on the ground, just wind blowing constantly on my new fence. At around five this morning there was no mistaking that the snow was everywhere. Now, we are experiencing more snow, on top of snow and a chance of an avalanche coming down off of the front door.

New Tool Chest 01/17/12
By Susie Devries
Guys have tool chests for tools. Us quilting gals have tools too, we need tool chests too. So I took my self out to Harbor Freight and got me one. 11 drawers, locking wheels, locking drawers! Perfect for what I need. Sewing machine can fit in the bottom. The drawers can lock, and that makes me a happy camper. When we have a bbq and little ones, I'm always worried that one will get in the shop and get one of those rotary cutters. Those things are super sharp. Now they have their own top lockable drawer!! I can put every dangerous thing, sewing machine, pins, needles, seam rippers, rotary cutters, all in the chest, lock it and not have any worries.

New Years Day Pictures 01/01/12
By Frank & Carol B.
The heat of Summer has gone, Fall came to cool things down and now Winter is here in Palm Springs. Our Winter is some of the best times of year for us. Everything is so bright and refreshed from the sprinkles we got earlier in the Fall. The flowers are in full bloom and the fruit trees are brimming over with fruit. Most of the fruit has been ripe for a while now so Carol and I eat all we want. Its nice and will stay this way until mid May when Summer comes back.........
It is a bit over 80 degrees today (1/1/2012) with no wind just warm beautiful sunlight streaming down. I have to say I really love this but at the same time both Carol and I miss the snow of Durango, Colo. and our old home there out in the country. I have attached a few pictures that I took a few minutes ago in my back yard.
Best to all of you and the family who may read this letter.
