Anyway, this time we have been hiking/running 2 miles everyday. The 3 year old and I ride the quad! One of the kids rides her horse, the rest run! Their parents are really animate about them getting enough exercise - they don't get to watch TV/I-pods all day! I made a breakfast this morning with 18 eggs! Anyway, I am tired but loving it. The kids are growing up. There are two 16 year olds, two 14 year olds, one 13, one 12, one 9, and the 3 year old. Grampa left for a few hours today - Hummmm I wonder why?

Nancy, You don't look old enough to have two 16 year old grandkids. I do remember those very cute moose heads, which is why I'm asking about this year's project. You could make the large potholder or clothe trivets that I made. I found the ironing board fabric at JoAnn's. I sent some to my mom for Christmas gift. She stated that one nevers have enough trivets for the hot pots and plates during the holiday gatherings. 18 eggs! Do you have hens too? That may be a stupid question since you have acreage and a farm. I could have hens where I live, but my dog would go nuts and eat them. Hope those hinge pins work for you! You are very fortunate to have your mother's Pfaff, beautiful machine.
