Molasses BooDill - December 25th 1996 to July 21st 2009

Gentle, sweet, silly.
Devoted companion.
Protector to wild bunnies.
Showered love on all who met her.

She was my best friend.
I will love, miss and cherish her memory all the days of my life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



With deep gratitude, thank you so much, to each and everyone of you throughout these last days, and this last year, who has reached out and offered a kind thought, loving words, or a heartfelt prayer for Mo and me. I have been very touched. It is without a doubt that you helped to uplift us and carry us. I felt it and I know Mo did, too.

Letting go of Molasses has been the hardest thing that I have ever had to do.
I need to take a little time off. I will be back in a bit.

Daredevils

These lads are crazy! This was MX1 Can-Am pro racing on the weekend at Gopher Dunes in Ontario, Canada. This guy isn't actually balancing on the trees, but high in the air after roaring up an earth ramp and soaring up into the sky! The good ones land on the downward ramp just out of the photo to the right, and then ride over a long stretch of rutted loose sandy earth. The whole course is over a mile and a half of jumps, rough track, hairpin turns and sometimes another 30 riders all trying to get into first place. It's pretty noisy and exciting to watch! And we took our own barbecue and eats and sat outside in the sunshine after the races were over.

Out of your comfort zone Challenge

CQ4Newbies recently ran a challenge where the participant would make two blocks, one where you were entirely comfortable with the colour, design, fabric, stitching and embellishments. The other would be out of your comfort zone. I started with my comfort block - pinks, lace, beads and the like. This is a needle case opened out to show front and back.

Below is my attempt at the "out of your zone" challenge. It's out of my zone as far as colour (no colour, just black, grey and silver), but not for any other reason, (like using big buttons, beads and butterflies), so I couldn't in all honesty, submit it into the Challenge. But I did end up with half of a nice tea cosy!!!
