Tall Tales from Kansas

It was with that wonderful feeling of sadness, delight, and deep comfort all rolled into one, that I finished The Correspondent by Virginia Evans last night.

Despite all the hype about this book, I really dug in with no specific expectations, except that it was written in the form of communication (letters, emails) through the years, between a woman and I really wasn’t sure who else. It was the perfect nightly read. The story unfolds through the letters with such a wide range of individuals you would not expect someone to “normally” communicate with. It was so well done and I loved reading it. It definitely made me want to write more letters. Highly recommended.

Sister told me she was making valentines so I set out to do a bit of heart making myself. So much fun. There is no reason that 60 somethings should not have as much fun as 6 year olds when it comes to valentines. The getting, the sending, the making or buying.

I started quilting my “table runner” and am having the best time. I am just slowly moving along, following the lines and trying to see how far I can go before I lock myself into the middle of a spot I can’t quilt out of. Great fun.

A valentine knick knack came up from the basement. Just in time before the 14th. While I am at it, the Cupid’s blend M&M’s are especially good this year. I can’t say why. Try them and let me know if I am correct.
