I am auditioning…

I’ve got an “audition”…not quite sure what to call it…for a local weekly newspaper.  I will be writing and photographing local high school sports for Mott and Regent.  If they like what I submit, then I may have a job. Initially they wanted me to cover the Mott Varsity football game tomorrow but Brian and [...]

Quilting

This is a quilt.  This is a quilt that is the sized for hanging on the wall. This particular quilt is framed in wood and is hanging on a wall…the wall of a quilt store Sonya and I found in Hettinger. Prior to the Fair, I’d never seen a quilt like this in my life. [...]
