Fine Dining ~ At Home
I woke up rather emotional today. I’m sure you can relate.

Resilience
There is a historical marker in my community by Galveston Bay which reminded me that we, as both Texans and especially as Americans, are a resilient people.

Ever have one of "those days" Today was one....if I hadn't of been working on my calendar and knew it was Friday I'd of bet it was a Monday all over again - except I had a good Monday this week....

Hummingbird
No, not the cute little birds that are so welcomed in the springtime garden...a little quilt I made back in 2013 I called Hummingbird to reflect the old fashioned name for a quilt block made with what I now call "Corner Beam units" made with a Studio 180 Design tool by the same name...
