More Sauder Rugs ~

So much talent!

On my hooking bucket list.

Bottom rug hooked by friend Bobbie

I know I've posted this rug before, but if you haven't heard of the Orphan Train, it is worth reading about. 

I am always in awe of sepia toned rugs hooked from photographs.

There are so many more rugs to share (and I did not take pictures of many of the displayed rugs).

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Gotcha Day ~

A day late, but yesterday was Ernestine's Gotcha Day.  Two years ago she was adopted by DSO and brings a smile to our lives daily.  

Thank you for all your kind comments and emails on the motorcycle accident.  To those of you you are no reply bloggers, just know I appreciated your comments, too, but could not respond to you personally.  We are on the mend.  Still bruised and somewhat sore.  I have cancelled my upcoming trip to Franklin, TN.  I am so bummed about that but my head just doesn't feel good enough for a 500+ mile trip.  Hopefully friend Wink and I can head south in September.  We are still so thankful we were not injured worse.

Within seven hours of the accident, I was already contacted by an attorney.  Since then, we have gotten texts, phone calls and even a packet via snail mail.  The ambulance chasers, both attorney and medical, are out in full force.  

Back to the rug show at Sauder.  Here are some of the rugs which will appear in Celebration 29.

So happy to see that Connie Bradley/Wool Yankers winter scene rug is going to be in Celebrations.

More Sauder pics another time.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly ~

THE GOOD ~

We are okay. 

THE BAD ~

We never made it here.

THE UGLY ~

The helmet was not knocked off.  DSO put his there.

Not 10 minutes after we left my son's house, this happened.  Stopped at a red light, we (red bike) were rear ended by a Ford Explorer and sent crashing in to my son's bike.  Never even made it to the highway.  We all spent several hours in the ER.  They sent us to a trauma hospital, I'm pretty sure because of our ages (67 and 76) . . . lol.  Today we are still sore and a bit bruised but so very thankful.  It could have been much, much worse.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Rug Week ~

It's Rug Week at Sauder Village in Archbold, Ohio, about two hours west of me.  I made my annual trek today.  Friend Linda joined me (you may know her as primdollie koch on Facebook).  Always inspirational . . . makes you want to hook and do nothing else. 

One of the featured displays was of antique rugs.  Here is a sampling.

My favorite

This sign was posted throughout the antique rugs.

Thanks to all those I contacted and asked to send a card to my son for his 40th birthday.  I appreciate it more than you know.  He's received over 40 cards :)  Many are signed a "hooker friend of your mom's".  He is telling his friends that he has received more cards from hookers for his birthday than they will receive in a lifetime :)  Many more arrived after this picture was taken.

Tomorrow we are finally off on our motorcycle trip to Niagara Falls.  I hope my butt can take the journey.  I've never spent more than an hour or two on the bike and taking the scenic route along the lakeshore  will probably take us 6-7 hours.  It was my idea so I can't complain too much!

Blogger has not been playing nice tonight.  It deleted all my rug pictuers and most of my text.  I HATE when that happens.

More Sauder rugs in future posts.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
