About to blow away!

Here is Jack's nearly finished quilt. He just has to do the roosters tail and some more of the border. He has been going hard at it!
Here is the Bountiful Blessings I have been working on. We have the makings of a good meal so come and join me! LOL!
Today was the day for grocery buying in Nevada and I took a few photos. This is a mural of the old Mitchell Hotel that stood where the parking lot is now. I actually lived at the Mitchell for a time in the 1970's when it was studio apartments. It got pretty run down in the 1980's and they tore it down. Sad they didn't fix it up.
Here is another mural and a beautiful old building in Nevada. It is not part of downtown but was once a bustling area with a hotel and a lot of beautiful buildings. I believe it was the area where the train station once stood. Actor John Huston's grandfather accidentally started a fire that burnt quite a few buildings. Shortly after the family quietly moved away. LOL!
This must be one of the smallest donut shops ever! It was once a service station. Then when they rerouted the highway many years ago it soon was abandoned. It was getting in pretty tough shape and then earlier this year someone bought it, refurbished it and opened a donut shop! It is tiny!
Some flowers out in front of our house. Don't know what they are right off hand but I thought they were pretty.
We had some terrible storms around Missouri last night. Tornadoes touched down and did damage in the Kansas City area and a small town in southeast of us. In Arkansas a 15 year old girl was killed when a tree fell into her bedroom as she slept. Please keep the family in your prayers. A 10 year old boy was in the same room but survived. We only had thunderstorms here but it is certainly windy today. About takes ones head off. God bless until we visit again.

Jack's quilt is AWESOME! Not much longer on it. YAY!!!! It's sad they don't refurbish old buildings, it's like losing a part of history. We got new elemantary schools and they tore the old ones down. Too sad as they could have been used for something.
