Good News! Do you know how simple it is to go to Heaven after this life has ended? Some people believe that belonging to a local church, temple, mosque or synagogue will get them to Heaven.

An advantage to having DH out of town, I don't have as many distractions to take me from my quilting. Today I finished piecing a mystery quilt and put the border on. Tomorrow I hope to get a ride to town and get backing for it. I got out some pre-quilted fabric that had been given to me. Cut it...

I've just set up my own e-mail account and thought I'd see about some newsgroups. This looks like an interesting one. I also wanted to respond to the lady with the pictures of Boston. I only live 20 miles from there. We live in a ranch and the snow drift is higher than my bedroom windows right...

Okay, I think we shall go to Florida and hitch a ride on a shuttle to go live on the moon for awhile. Maybe so many things don't go wrong up there? Just found out that my washing machine is not pumping and spinning like it should, just leaving water in the bottom about 8 inches deep. So...

Whee! DH and I are going to Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia for about 10 days in May. We ought to have some free time on the tour. Anything (shops/museums/etc.?) I should be looking for? We'll be in Warsaw, Budapest, a bunch of small cities, and will leave from Prague. I know...

I'm taking a break before tackling the last part of a project. DD's friend called me yesterday to ask if I could hem some dance pants for her. Sewing buttons and hemming pants...some of the most practical sewing projects but I put them off as often as possible. It must be my "time" though. DH...

I just got a message from AOL that all the AOL newsgroups will be closing soon. I reach this group through an AOL link, but I see others who post who are not on AOL. Can anyone explain how to access this group from other browsers? I just reappeared and would hate to disappear so soon....
