Pictures do not do Sue's book justice.  And being able to hold it, of course, is better than pictures.

I told you we live in the midwest, did you google that?  Anyway we live in a very small town and yesterday a water main burst and we had no water for awhile.  Almost immediately after my shower, in fact.  So now we have to boil our water until further notice.  Sue lives a couple of miles from town and has a different water source, so she doesn't have to boil her water.  Luckily we have a bag of ice in the freezer because of course we can't use the ice from the ice maker.  I don't know when this problem will be solved because it is a small town and it is the weekend.  I would rather have dirty water than have the electricity off.

So we went to the city Wednesday and of course we had to stop at Walmart.  Some of you may have to google Walmart also. I think it's a midwest thing.  We have over-purchased recently, but we found ourselves in the craft department in the bead aisle and somebody had to buy one of every color.  It was not me.  I am not a good influence.  More later.
