My brother who is a bluesman would think that a beetle for a gibson is a fair swap! If you have time you can see him on you tube. His name is Steve Ajao and he plays with a band called the Blues Giants. He is very good he also plays jazz saxophone. So thankyou for the visit carry on creating!

I always get excited when I see that I have a new blogging sister following my blog. There is something very soothing in the music of John Denver. It's very sad that he died so young, I'm sure he had a lot of songs yet to sing. He's probably singing with the angels, now, or maybe leading the choir :)<br />Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-71198222207341150022013-08-05T20:43:56.022-07:002013-08-05T20:43:56.022-07:00Hi Heidi, thank you for this sweet visit, I love h...Hi Heidi, thank you for this sweet visit, I love hearing from my blogging sisters.<br />Staying young in mind and heart is something creative people have in common. <br />Have a lovely week and thanks again for this nice visit.<br />Your blogging sister, Connie :) Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-84268146191623008652013-08-05T19:57:59.185-07:002013-08-05T19:57:59.185-07:00Your VW patch is great!

I'm pretty good with everything else. :-) But off I go in an hour to yoga class...too bad it's only once/week!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08659968511488397366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-70413035106455254792013-08-05T11:51:01.834-07:002013-08-05T11:51:01.834-07:00Hi Connie, Your camper vans look amazing.

They are so popular once again. It would be fun to have one. Guess we have enough on our hands with our home and our little cottage in the woods. <br /><br />I always say that being creating with quilting and stitching keeps you young in mind and heart. <br /><br />Hugs from Holland ~<br />HeidiHeidi's Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00150536686843662052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-77426570980236560222013-08-05T10:04:24.471-07:002013-08-05T10:04:24.471-07:00Hi Linda, thank for visiting . . .

Somewhere where you are surrounded my friends and family. Something Steve and I enjoy each night is playing along with Alex Trebek and Jeopardy.

It is wonderful. You can precision your fabric, and if it's not exact, you can pick it up and play with it until you have it in the perfect shot.

Once the engine caught on fire, my Dad put it out and the little bug cranked right up like nothing had happened. They were indestructible! And your applique is amazing. You're one of the most talented bloggers on the 'net. You're right about staying involved, active, and always learning. Not only are those great ways to fight Alzheimers, they make your life better all around.
