May 22, 2025 4 Comments

Paducah – the city, the porches, the food, Yeiser Art Center and the National Quilt Museum

May 1, 2025

NOTE: This 1,400 word, 50 photo post is about one afternoon and one morning in Paducah! Paducah, Kentucky is a beautiful town, with great food, beautiful porches, unique shopping and lots of art.

Christmas in Tucson and progress on my applique

January 2, 2025

  NOTE: My posts and newsletters may be a bit spotty over the next few weeks. I am super busy and just may not have time. We spent a fabulous 4 days in the Sonoran Desert visiting my son and future DIL in Tucson. That desert air felt soooo good! Temps were in the 70’s […]
