Welcome to PWB Peeps. We hang out here every afternoon around 2 PM Eastern. We talk about our beasties, big and small, finned, furry, feathered or something else, share stories, ask questions, have a few laughs, and maybe shed a tear or two now and then. This is our little corner of the intertubes and we are happy to have you join us for a bit of relaxation. The rules are simple. Behave yourself, don't pick fights or hijack threads, be nice, leave what's happening in the outer blog in the outer blog, no politics, no debates. If you don't like these kinds of diaries, that's cool. Just be on your way, please. No harm, no foul. If you do like them, c'mon in, grab a cuppa, and enjoy a bit of relaxation among friends. Please feel free to share your pics if you'd like. And, as always, please feel free to join the conversation. We're all friends here and you are most welcome amongst us!

Good morning all - July has arrived on the Shores of the Great Lake Erie with heat and a whole lot of humidity. First, a few words from our sponsor:

The Saturday Morning Home Repair Blog (SMHRB) is where we gather to discuss the many and varied aspects of home repair. Some here are trained professionals. Some, talented DIYers. Some, hopeless thumb-hammerers. All are welcome. Please feel encouraged to ask questions, share successes, lament sags, drips and cracks and, as always, share any advice that you have for the rest of us.

I don't do heat, as they say, dry or otherwise. If gardening doesn't get done before 8AM it just doesn't get done. The same goes for most projects involving DIY and tools. Give me air conditioning! So, it was with great anxiety that this week began with an air conditioning emergency. Thank goodness for responsible property owners and licensed electricians.

Follow me below the orange danish for details.

YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE!
Ninepatch has come up with a very worthwhile project for NN 2014 and the Detroit VA Hospital vets, who have bravely served on our behalf, and she's opening it up to us, the members of SMHRB, so LISTEN UP! She is a quilter, and her idea is to make a fabulous quilt with message panels sewn in for the vets; each of us can donate money ($10 minimum, no max, PayPal or check or other method TBD), along with a personal message for the vets (up to 100 characters or so), to be hand-lettered on the message panels. All monies and the quilt itself will go to the vets, to be used by them and for them.
You are invited to input ideas and suggestions in the comments over the next 2 weeks, any final details will be worked out and posted by then.
The deadline for submissions is June 15.
Quilt/donations presentation will take place during NN Detroit, July 18.
Let's do this, guys, this is our project now; from our little group to folks who put their lives on the line, literally, to keep us safe and free.
Nine will be along shortly if she isn't here already, she had a rough week and (possibly) a rough night.
Thank you!
John

(We now take you back to your regularly scheduled SMHRB diary...)

In the summer of 2012, I decided my kitchen really needed an update but, as a renter not an owner, I had limited options. My kitchen is very small, in some houses it wouldn't even qualify as a butler's pantry. It's one of those small, apartment sized spaces, not much more than a walk through, that's pretty much only for cooking and doing dishes with a refrigerator thrown in for good measure. At one end is my bathroom and a small, very dark hall to my bedroom and studio. At the other end is a wonderful, west-facing double window that lets in a lot of light. Grab a fresh cuppa and follow me past the orange danish to hear the rest.

DK Quilt Guild: A place for quilters to gather, share ideas, projects, and to make the world a better place, one quilt at a time. Join us and share your thoughts, projects, questions, and tips. Quilters here are at many different levels of skill. Beginners and non-quilters are welcome, too!

Quilts are powerful things. There are wedding quilts, baby quilts, graduation quilts, quilts given for all sorts of reasons and any number of occasions. And, then there are those special quilts we make because our hearts tell us we must so we can give them to someone we will probably never meet in this world but who will treasure our expression of love and caring for a lifetime. Those are the quilts our DK Quilts for Detroit VA Hospital Service Project 2014 are about - each of us giving from the heart in our unique fashion, a simple quilt to someone we probably will never meet but who will always know that somewhere out there an American quilter cared very much about them and was grateful for their service even these many years afterwards.

Follow me below the orange free motion motif and I'll share the story of one these quilts that my heart told me I had to make.

Local news programs have just broken into broadcasting to announce an "active situation" at Olmsted Falls High School in NE Ohio. Police are establishing a perimeter.

I know this isn't a full diary, but if you are a parent or relative of a student, faculty member, or staff member at the school I wanted to put the information out there to the largest audience to which I have access.

No details are being provided and no indication of what "active situation" means at this time. I will follow the story and add updates as they become available.

Again, police in Olmsted Falls, OH have announced an "active situation" at the high school and are establishing a perimeter. It is a very small, upper middle class community of about 9,000 people. Please keep them in your thoughts.
