		<title>A Piece of my Heart is Gone&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
In one&#8217;s life there are places that are truly special.  For me the home I grew up in, my parents&#8217; land in Northern Wisconsin, Walden Pond in Concord, MA.  Another of these special places was destroyed yesterday morning. The church building in Cambridge, MA, across from Longfellow&#8217;s house burned down yesterday.  This [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kirstensthread.wordpress.com&blog=4343381&post=151&subd=kirstensthread&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Feminism no longer needed?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Feminism may still be a dirty word to many.  For some it brings up images of bra-burning and children left to fend for themselves because of absent mothers.  For many others, including myself, it is the God-given right for women to be treated fairly, equally, and to be respected as human beings with the same [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kirstensthread.wordpress.com&blog=4343381&post=144&subd=kirstensthread&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Mother Necessity, where would we be?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Elias can you help me with my sewing?&#8230;&#8221;  Ah, yes the line from the Schoolhouse Rock song, &#8220;Mother Necessity&#8221;.  Elias Howe is my hero.  He invented my favorite thing in the world, the sewing machine.  I have an odd reverence for my sewing machine.  I must admit that I simply [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kirstensthread.wordpress.com&blog=4343381&post=133&subd=kirstensthread&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Giddy with excitement!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes, I watched the Super Bowl.  Not for the game, though it was exciting.  Not for the commercials, they were rather disappointing. I watched for only one reason: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.  I have been a huge Springsteen fan since I was about 12 years old.   The [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kirstensthread.wordpress.com&blog=4343381&post=117&subd=kirstensthread&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Oh Baby it&#8217;s cold outside!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Brrrrr! It is cold, dang-it!  For the past few days the midwest has felt like a deep freezer working overtime.  On Thursday and Friday the kids didn&#8217;t have school and my work was closed as well.  We&#8217;ve spent the time cleaning (the kids-their bedrooms&#8230; finally!) and quilting (me&#8211;naturally!)  The air is [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kirstensthread.wordpress.com&blog=4343381&post=115&subd=kirstensthread&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>There must be some truth to the dumb blonde jokes&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I always thought Kellie Pickler was a complete idiot when I watched her on American Idol.   I know second graders who know more geography than she does!  Sigh&#8230; it is so depressing&#8230;..

		<title>A Fabulous Christmas Show!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I had mentioned before, Soren has the part of &#8220;Randy&#8221; in the classic Christmas show, &#8220;A Christmas Story&#8221;.  Dave and I thought that by now he would be sick and tired of the thing, but to the contrary, I think he&#8217;s ready to start a new show.  He has really been a good sport&#8211; [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kirstensthread.wordpress.com&blog=4343381&post=101&subd=kirstensthread&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Goodbye to a fellow quilter&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;m getting ready for a funeral this morning.  One of my friends I met in my quilt guild, the River Bend Quilters, died last week of a massive heart attack.  Becky Bacon was 43.  She was a wife and a mother to a sweet seven year old boy.  She had a Ph.D. in cell biology [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kirstensthread.wordpress.com&blog=4343381&post=94&subd=kirstensthread&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

Okay, it&#8217;s Halloween and my kids went out Trick-or-Treating with their friends.  Dave followed Soren and his buddy Ben around while I stayed home and got ready to pass out the loot.  Well, we live at the beginning of a long road and there are no little kids near us.  So, the only loot I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kirstensthread.wordpress.com&blog=4343381&post=82&subd=kirstensthread&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
