When we were kids, we'd always greet it by saying, "Hello, Moon!", then when we got to the opposite side, "Goodbye, Moon!" I still say that, actually, even though we can't actually see the surface anymore.<br />Barbara, what do you use to transfer stitching designs to fabric? A Micron pen, or a fine-point Sharpie?Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13469828219999900733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-57614439707487716962022-10-01T04:55:09.300-07:002022-10-01T04:55:09.300-07:00Hope you have wonderful weather for your hiking.

My job moved to the Aurora Airport in Sugar Grove, IL and I've been in this area now for 18 years now.<br /><br />Anxiously waiting for your experience as well as pictures from Starved Rock. My family used to go there when I was just a young kid, what now seems like a hundred years ago.<br /><br />Janaramahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12165028950761520752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-35793867219912761862022-09-30T15:04:04.878-07:002022-09-30T15:04:04.878-07:00More barns - yay!

I would have hated all that truck traffic you went through so I'm sure you were relieved to put that area behind you. <br />With the two massive storms, Fiona and Ian, there is much to be concerned about for sure. Hopefully that's the last of them for awhile.Magpie's Mumblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852241848575954128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-12957855518896365362022-09-30T13:26:49.768-07:002022-09-30T13:26:49.768-07:00Bad signage can certainly lead to frustration, and...Bad signage can certainly lead to frustration, and possibly an accident.

We were stunned seeing the damage to Sanibel, as well as the rest of the areas affected. So sad about the loss of lives, especially. piecefulwendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02256164519304112032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-39252892906527858942022-09-30T10:12:15.272-07:002022-09-30T10:12:15.272-07:00You are about 30 miles south of me right now.
