Their sister Sarah was released when the trials ended. A few years earlier their mother had been questioned for the same crime. My line left the state and moved South !

I agree, no month is as awesome as October, then we get to the Spring and then I am in a quandary about which month is best.<br />I love that mat you are making.

I laughed so hard when you said your "I'm an attorney, get used to it" quip about lying. I used to get confused about lie and lay (yes, as an adult):("Why couldn't you find the file? It was layin' right in front of you.") until one of the attorneys told me, "Stop using laying when you mean lying. Think of attorneys lying on the sidewalk. They're always lying." I miss those rascally attorneys! Anyhoo, I love the rug and stitcheries, and the FDOTP (Fantastic display of the past). Those papier mache JOL's were truly weird and fun. I am glad to hear you are going to post more!

I will show some soon when I do a post. I'm so behind as I'm helping Jack recoup and all the other everyday "stuff". I love that skeleton mermaid! It's so dang funny! We were suppose to have a big Halloween get together this weekend with my family from Chicago but schedules just didn't work out and I don't think Jack would have loved a house full of guests. Anyway, enjoy your weekend and that book looks really interesting.

Hooking is so meditative.<br /><br />I don't decorate for Halloween except for a few autumn decors. The cross-stitched mermaid skeleton just craked me. At least, it's a Halloween decoration. I like how you mounted it. Very cleaver.<br /><br />I love October also but it's bittersweet to see the trees losing their leaves and the daylight getting shorter and having to change twice a day into warmer clothing and cooler clothing. <br /><br />It's Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada, so I bought a very small turkey. My husband just told me that we are going in lockdown again this weekend because of Covid.<br /><br />Take care,<br />Hugs, JuliaJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452123752628932083.post-12478523073807037232021-10-08T02:43:07.357-05:002021-10-08T02:43:07.357-05:00Happy to see you and your doings.
