Sometimes I get a wild craft hair. My Dad gave me a giant quilt hoop he found at the city recycle. I have wanted a Man on the Moon. I was like I can make this on fabric and use that hoop to make my moon.
It was interesting and a bit weird in a good way.

I don't know if anyone has taken a dive into their DNA. It is fascinating and frustrating. I still prefer traditional genealogy. However, I understand that DNA can help solve some mysteries or add to mysteries. I have a someone who is a 4th cousin or a half 3rd cousin once removed who is related to both my paternal and maternal side according to DNA. Try to wrap your head around that one.
What is a 4th cousin? I am so glad you asked in order for me to be related to this DNA match we must share a 3rd great grandparent in common. This would also mean that my mom and dad share a common great great grandparent to them. At least I think that is what it means. Send help! Anyway, I am somehow related to this person through my paternal and maternal lines most likely I have 2 different ways I am related to them.

There was apparently some sex going on at the park. Found some condoms. Yeah us and that wasn't the only fireworks. There were real fireworks. We also found buzz balls and various other alcoholic beverages. YEs, we found an Allsup taco sauce packet. What is it about Allsup's taco sauce?
I am linking up with Modern Mrs Darcy's Quick Lit. Check out what everyone else is reading.
I have written a lot about this book. I loved all the stories of the unsung American who changed the course of history. I love what a good storyteller Sharon is. She makes history interesting. This is an uplifting read during at a time where we question US politics. Once again, she proves that it wasn't the those who were best equipped (wealthy/smart) who did the next right thing are the ones that changed the course of history. I really didn't want the book to end. Tell me all the stories Sharon!
I was lucky enough to attend her book tour in Denver. I am so proud of her. You can find her on Instagram Sharon Says So.
Preseason NBA Basketball time has arrived. I really like watching basketball. Unfortunately, I am a Portland Trail Blazers fan. I also inadvertently joined the Herd - The Bucks. My favorite player is Damien Lillard . My other favorite players are former Blazers too - The Bosnian Beast, Nurkic(Suns), Trendon Watford (Nets), Drew Eubanks(Jazz), CJ McCollum (Pelicans) to name a few. I also have a few least favorite players - Labron James and Jokic. I talk a lot during the games and all of it is inappropriate color commentary.

I visited the church I grew up in last week. It is down to 30 or so members. This church is slowly dying. It makes me sad. This is my parents' community connection. This is the church my grandparents attended, and grandfather helped with the giant cross at the front. It was where my parents and I also were married. I was baptized here. I have hard time comprehending that there will no longer be a First Baptist. They are working at a plan to merge with another denomination and basically selling their church and forming a new church with this denomination. Nothing will erase the history, and I know that people who believed and founded this church would want the building to continue to serve the community. Churches are not a building but people.
The drama that my younger brings to photo ops. Stop by the best Dam Store outside of Loveland, Colorado.
