Sunday in reflection-colonial times

Some stitched Colonial Williamsburg houses. Stitched by me 30 years ago and still has a place in my heart.

Heading out to DC this week and planning and packing! Last year actually breezed by Colonial Williamsburg and I want to go one day to spend a whole lot longer than I did last time.

Colonial times were just plain simpler. Men were men, ladies were ladies. Simple blessings in life were treasured more.

Even though we don't dress like this nowadays, we can still hold some of the simplicity in our hearts forever.

I like to go to the big cities once a year. It reminds me of fortunate I am to live in a slower paced world.

It refreshes my views on most anything watching the city lights and the busy taxi fly by.

I will be sharing with you some pics of my adventures this week so stay tuned.

In Stitches shop is definitely on my list of places to go.

I can't wait to see in person all the new designs from Nashville this year.!!!!!!

Happy Sunday to you!

Got this and others to share! I'm catching up on alot of email this past 2 weeks so I do apologize.

WINDY! yes, windy day outside this past week and seems so much more colder. I guess March has arrived in full swing. Where are the kites?

The weekend was a doozy. I'm sending all my prayers out to those who were affected through that strong storm system. I can't imagine. I just had some things blown around on the porch, heavy, heavy stuff but stayed very safe and sound with little Abbie.

I can say it was the first time I every heard tornado alarms going off in the country. Not a good sound at all and I have no idea out there where it was coming from.  Abbie and I hunkered down and said our prayers.

Stay tuned for the draw for the Gingher giveaway!

Till later,

Jennifer
