Visiting, quilting in Arkansas

I have been missing my visit with you, but have been visiting in Arkansas and having fun. Sheila along with two friends and I visited Mountain View, Arkansas last week. We had fun with quilters from Little Rock, Arkansas. We shopped in Mountain View at all the junk places and ate fish at a restaurant on the river, pieced quilts and then had a show and tell with the other quilters that were vacationing in Mountain View. 

It was fun and we brought the rain with us as we drove down the mountain at Queen Wilhelmina where we spent the last night. The country side was beautiful, green, and fun to see. Of course, we brought the rain with us as we drove down the mountain toward Texas. 

I have had over three inches of rain this week and could hear the creek behind the house as it ran toward the river. It crossed the road one day and of course I began to get alarmed because high water makes me nervous. It has now been many years since my house flooded and it sits several feet higher but I remember the day it flooded and have the fear I had that day. As the rain water gets deeper, the more nervous I get.

Visitors in the home of James and Debbie Logan over the weekend were Lorie Ramos Jameson, and baby brother, of Amarillo, Lesa, Eddie and Abbie Lee of New London. Jameson is spending the week with his grandparents. I think he likes to ride the four-wheeler with his grandpa.

Busy Bee quilters met on Thursday to quilt on the Lone Star which will be our donation quilt for our next quilt show.

Those attending were Marilyn Scarber, Clydene Webb, Nelda Hopkins and Wanda Davis. We have had a lot of sickness in our quilting club this year.

Nancy and Gary Conner have been camping this week with their camping club while Nancy recovers from her rotator cuff surgery.

Emma Cafagna, baby daughter of Ethan and Cassidy Cafagna of Bluegrove, was dedicated to the Lord on Sunday following the preaching service. Special people attending were the baby’s parents, her grandparents Traci and Ronnie Caffagna, great-grandmother, aunt Chyanne and uncle Tres Deweber and several cousins, great-aunts and uncles.

Bill Person is in the hospital.

Thought for the week, Theodore Roosevelt said, “Do what you can with what you have where you are.“ Have a good week.
