After The Weekend -


Happy Monday, folks!

Still alive and kicking over here - and yes, still taking the Hunter Shuttle from the top of the drive to the bottom where the cars are parked in order to get out and about anywhere.

It's winter.

It's just what we have to do around here, though with a warm up coming over the next week, we should be able to drive the cars back up to the top again.

Let's live on the side of a mountain he said - it will be fun he said! HA!

Big Things Happening!


After two months of trying all the things to no avail, I finally succumbed to the embarrassment of begging My APQS master tech and Intelliquilter guru Patty Butcher at Katidids.net for a slot on her fully packed travel/installation schedule.

I contacted her about a full "spa" treatment for my Millie, which includes changing out worn parts like thread guides and old bobbin hook, cleaning, detailing, repacking gears with new grease - the Full Monty.

Festive St. Wolfgang!


At the heart of every Austrian village stands the church.

The establishment of the pilgrimage church of St. Wolfgang goes back to a legend in 976. The Bishop Wolfgang of Regensburg was living as a hermit at the Falkenstein and made ​​the decision to build the first church here. The location of the building was inspired by his famous "Axe throw", considered to be a divine dispensation.

He threw the ax with the vow, that where it landed he would build a church. When he found the ax after three days he built the church at this site on a rocky hill next to the lake.
