Quilt Square # 14

Here Kitty, Kitty!!! Click twice to enlarge. This one took several days to finish. I'm slowing down on my embroidery because there are so many other things that need to be done around here. I'm having trouble with my water lines again. The water from the kitchen sink in running down a wall into my basement. I had a new kitchen faucet installed because it was leaking a little out the back when I turned the water on. I thought that would solve the water in my basement, but it didn't....It is somewhere in the drain pipes, but not directly under my sink. It is dry underneath the sink. I will have to call the plumber back....I dread that because he charged me 75.00 to install my faucet. It took him 30 minutes. I think I will become a plumber!!!!

WHERE I'M FROM........

I am from hayfield and blackberry patches, gathering eggs and selling them to my Daddy in his store. I am from a house with no bath....but a path. I am from cherry trees where I climbed and ate more than I carried home.....from digging potatoes in the rich earth. I am from skinny dipping and swinging on grape vines, two room school house, sitting on the front porch while my Mother played the guitar.....wringer washers and wash tubs. I am from playing the piano, the accordian and making playhouses in the woods....hide and seek, jumping rope and May I. From: Raleigh's Liniment, Cracker Jacks and Castor Oil.....Revival Meetings and Baptisms in the river....catalogs and feed sack skirts. From: "Pretty is only skin deep" to "Always mind your manners." I am from Methodist, Baptist, Wednesday night prayer meetings and shouting Hallaujah. I am from the Volunteer state of Tennessee with lakes and mountains, race cars, beans, cornbread and red eye gravy. We always called it "God's Country." I am from family get togethers, dinner on the ground, singing with my sisters, a Mother with a heart of gold and a Daddy with a strict hand. A grandfather who always looked to see if I had my fingernails painted and a Grandmother who could squeeze your heart out! Yes, I came from a family of seven siblings and I have told you where I came from. It was wonderful and I wouldn't change a thing if I could. Now let me tell you where I am going...."To Where The Streets Are Paved With Gold." Some days, I can hardly wait!
