If you can stand the mess at my moms house, I'd love to take you there and you can help me quilt one that I have in an old fashioned hanging rack. Its just barely started on and has tons of quilting left to do. If you have something going at your house I'd love helping with it too. Just give me a hollar. Oh, and I still have your barrels!

I miss reading about you all and what is going on at the farm. I know the heat is miserable without AC. I never, ever, thought I would be a big fan of AC but as a senior citizen and living in Florida, I could not do without it and I am a native and should be able to cope. But, my mother even gave in her last years and needed AC. I hope there is nothing wrong and your health problems are just due to the heat and over exertion. It does me that way. But, good luck and keep us posted and slow down a little, please. glad to see a post. I miss reading about you all and what is going on at the farm. I know the heat is miserable without AC.

He used a shaving brush and a little water to whip up thick suds to shave with. Brings back memories, for sure!
