Our Orenda Coffee Machine finally arrived today.

It just took 1 year 3 months to get to our house.

Now we must figure out the wireless app to "perfect" a good cup of coffee.

Yes, we are obsessed. Obsessed to the point the certain persons have complained about my postings to a closed group, of which is a suppossed benefit to my and Andy's membership dues. Instead of directing their questions directly to me, especially "whether we were trying to sell something", the persons sent their complaints to the administration of the group.

Am I ticked off?

Damn right I am, especially as we pay a total of two annual financial memberships.

A short time ago, I decided that I needed to find, excluding franchises, which restaurant has the best southern fried chicken in the Tampa Bay area. At that time, we tried RyRy’s Chicken and Waffles on 30th Street in Tampa. This is our target standard.

This Friday afternoon, Andy and I and MC went to Southern Fresh at 122 3rd Ave, North in Safety Harbor. This our 3rd restaurant.

Please note, and I will repeat this, please note, this is simply our own opinion.

This is only our opinion.

Our Cranes Quilts Update -

Part 1 of our quilting process, quilt outlining of every single Crane.

4 have been completed; 2 more to go. And yes, this does take some time.

Answers -

There are many images available on the Internet. It appears that many other quilters have done the same.

Originally, we downloaded one and created an equivalent paper-pieced pattern. It took us about 3 hours to create one paper-pieced block.

We then designed a fabric cutter die for ourselves in conjunction with AccuQuilt. It now takes us approximately 15-20 minutes to piece the fabric pieces and construct a Crane block. We have created 6-; 5-; 4-; and 3- inch blocks.

The purpose of our task is to create the Hope - Cranes Quilt - Project. Andy and I are not intending or expecting on making any financial gain from our Project.
