Did I mention I have two grandbabies? Here they are with their parents, Amber and Dave. Kylie will be 3 in August, and Luke is about 6 months.

Here’s the cross-stitch picture Amber made me for Mother’s Day.

Here are the names of the people we have identified so far. Any help will be appreciated.the picture was taken from the back of George and Elizabeth Crane’s house when it was actually the front of the house when a dirt road went along there. Later when Rt. 21 was built the house was changed to make the front of the house face the new road.

Gathering at Aunt Orva’s house. Clair, Plusha and Faith Anderson (baby) are in the lower left corner. Please help us identify the others.

On the Job

Yesterday I started work at an upholstery factory. I never even had an interview, they just called me to come in, and when I did, they started training me.

I had to make two practice pillow covers from heavy duck material. The second one had a cording around it. They both had zippers. They liked my work, so they started me on the real thing.

I got three pillow covers done before time to leave. The velour was the hardest to work with as it had a rubberized backing.

I think I will enjoy working there because of the nice machines–sewing, serging, quilting.
I love to learn new things.

It was hot, though. They don’t have air conditioning. Just a lot of fans.

Today I made 5 pillow covers. Practice makes perfect.

This is our garage apartment in the process. Josiah loves to climb the scaffolding. Virgil has two of the sides sided.
