Life With Jules, and other stuff

Sorry it’s been a while since my last post. I have been working 4 ten hour shifts Mon – Thur and by Friday all I wanna do is lay around in bed. I have been doing some stitching on the weekends and will probably continue in this fashion for a few more weeks. A lot of changes are happening in my life right now, especially at my job. I am not sure if they are good yet or not, but will be on a more regular posting schedule soon. That said, I spent a little time on an old favorite this weekend: Butterfly and Shamrocks Wreath .

This morning, I played traffic director after a major head-on collision in front of our church. There were 3 cars involved, however 2 were destroyed. Of those 2, one had 5 elderly citizens inside – three in the back, not in seatbelts, passed away. The driver and passenger were taken to hospital. I believe they were husband and wife.
