Bog Bodies

OK, now to address the hot topic of Bog Bodies...

Doesn't everyone sit around discussing them? We do occasionally. And it totally freaks Zach out. Hannah thinks they're fascinating. Her eyes light up and I can just picture her out in a peat bog imagining the histories of these people. Who were they? How did they end up there? What kind of lives did they live? Zach just shudders... and shudders... and shudders. He doesn't even want us to say... bog bodies...

So thanks to National Geographic, our scanner, and the technical abilities of our children...

Bog Bodies!

Long overdue: Quilt update!


Bekah finished her rag quilt sometime before Christmas. Isn't it lovely?

OOPS!!!! That isn't her quilt! It's a BOG BODY!!! The pale NJ version anyway...

You know, I could have just deleted that photo but I'm laughing so hard and I needed that laugh so badly that I thought just maybe you did too. The kids heard me laughing and came to check it out and now everyone is cracking up. More on bog bodies later... now for the quilt.

I love the bright fun colors of this quilt. It's nice and snuggly too. Since it was quilted block by block and then the blocks were sewn into rows and the rows sewn together, Bekah was able to do the whole thing on her machine - with lots of help from Mrs. G, of course.
