I wish that I could convince people in my house to get rid of things!<br />There is so much need in the world. There is a woman at work who goes to Mexico on her vacation time and helps poor women and children there. She has taught women to make jewelry and christmas ornaments among other things and has arranged for a place for them to seek their work. She has also set up a place called Happy Hands that does art classes for street kids. I have been giving her some money from time to time for some supplies for the kids. We have so much and so many have so little.

I bet you will be excited with all of that room once they are gone. <br />You had so many. I was showing Ron them last night in your picture. He is getting ready to start making his own molds so he was very interested that you used to do it in such a big way. <br />I hope you have a lovely day today.Farm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998621464797636686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-14685761926122685972014-09-16T13:22:00.188-03:002014-09-16T13:22:00.188-03:00Love the sunflower and how it faces the house and ...Love the sunflower and how it faces the house and not the sun. It is a nice gift to you for feeding the birds sweet Julia. <br /><br />Your sweet relish looks beautiful and I bet it tastes wonderful. I use relish in chicken salad, tuna salad and potato salad. Hubby likes it on hotdogs too. <br /><br />That poor cow, I feel so sorry for those that have to have their calves pulled because they just don't want to come the way they should. So much pain, I actually saw a cow crying tears once when she could not push her calf out and it had to be pulled. <br /><br />I guess I missed your post about 2 Bags Full, I will go check it out. <br /><br />I see you are making headway on the molds. Your basement is going to look quite large when you get them all out. <br /><br />I hope you are remembering to rest and take care of yourself. You are just always busy and doing. How you find time to sleep I do not know. You even find time to stop by my blog, I feel very honored that you do that with all you have to do around your place. <br /><br />Enjoy the fall weather, we had some about 3 days but now we are back to full-blown summer. <br /><br />Hugs!Just Magshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05759998899852167388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-73045624791081840952014-09-16T12:49:40.722-03:002014-09-16T12:49:40.722-03:00I have never liked relish, but you make it look so...I have never liked relish, but you make it look so good! Maybe I'm missing something! Now, tell me again why you have all those molds. I'd like to know your ceramic history, if you have time.
