Hello Ladies,
I feel as though I am a character in a book called A Long Way Home because I can't seem to find my way back to the video broadcasts which I create to encourage homemakers. Busy days make it a challenge to get to a broadcast. My voice is wearing thin from all the unnecessary talking I do at home, so I am trying to be quiet, and reserve some voice for you.
As you see, above, my castles are back!!
Miss Lillian is in The Manse talking to
her future husband.
She is here sewing her wedding dress. Her home in eastern Oregon has been evacuated due to smoke.
Please do not copy photos on this page nor send.

Sewing the Wedding Dress
( author unknown)
The White Stitch
• Soft white cloth upon the floor,
•
• Silver needle through the door
•
• Of time and hope, a-threading slow,
•
• Where quiet, happy feelings go.
•
The Dress Takes Shape
• Inch by inch the bodice grows,
•
• Sweet as petals on a rose.
•
• Long white lace and smooth-spun silk,
•
• Pale and bright as morning milk.
•
Ready for the Day
• Pins are pulled and thread is tied,
•
• Waiting for the happy bride.
•
• Every seam a wish made true,
•
• Old and bright, and white and blue.
Hopefully I'll talk at you soon!!!
Lydia Ruth
