Rose Prairie Quilts and Farm

  As you can see,  things have changed.  Why not... everything else seems to of this year.

Beside being home bound, we lost our pet after many years. Lost my step mother to cancer in the beginning of this year and was hoping to take dad out to travel some to help with his grief but that never happened.  And for some time I was having issues, health issues and was putting it off because of dealing with what my step mother needed.
