I am also so sad to hear about the shooting. <br /><br />Speaking of fire and shootings, I was a forest fire fighter in college. It is how I earned money to put me through school. I fought fire in Yellowstone National Park with a shovel many years ago and then became a dispatcher for a couple more years.<br /><br />The shooting part is a little too close to home for me. I am a teacher and our school was threatened just last week. We live in a wonderful and scary world.dqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02252949487409464159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791304731827660383.post-83412317354372988552018-11-18T05:09:00.655-08:002018-11-18T05:09:00.655-08:00That costume is amazing!

How wonderful though to have a precious baby arrive. Your fabric pull is gorgeous, can't wait to see them in a quilt. Gridster Bee blocks are colourful, makes me happy just looking at them. Rapunzel is stunning in that dress and her little companion is very sweet.
