  1. When I lived in Germany...One of my best friends was a full blooded German, who was married to a U.S. service man. She lived across the hall from me and taught me lots about the German way of life....In return, I taught her ....how not all Americans are slobs. (lots are ,but not all...lol)
    Her name was Marianne and she was bold, unafraid, rough around the edges, but could be very sweet. She was a lot of fun,but at times could be very private and pull back a tad......I do miss her.
    I hope you have loads of memories with your family in Indiana....

  2. An interesting meme.

    I love the look of Tunisian crochet. I have a couple of big hooks, but never really sat down to practice. Maybe soon though, since you've reminded me to try again.

  3. I know more about you now than I have learned in the past 2-3 years at Mels. :-) Now that I am a grandmother, I feel like it's time to pick up my crochet needle again. Or maybe even learn to knit! I need to do something constructive with my time. One can only play FV so much, ya know? lol Thank you for the inspiration! Hugs! Malisa
