Hello my Cutie friends, I thought I would rejoin you here as I miss my Cutie friends. Just a line to say, I appreciate all the thoughts and prayers you have offered on my, and my family's behalf, this past month or so. We really have good members here on Cute.
My oldest sister Sheila left today to go back to her home 10 hours away. I told my husband last night while lying in bed, I really didn't want Sheila to leave. She has a house here too when she comes and it's not like she comes everyday while here. I think it is just knowing she would be so far away again. We both cried when she left. It's just her and I now and I know we were both thinking of Sue.
I told Karen I am sewing some. It is therapy for me as you all know I love to. I made a Lone Star top after Christmas, while Sue was in the hospital. It's pinned together but still not quilted.
A friend sent me a link to Missouri Stars Triple play, the one with sewing random size scraps. I told my nephew Chuck, when he texted to check on me, that sewing is therapy for me and what I was working on is as jumbled up as my emotions.
We are keeping Avery tomorrow. Ashley is taking the younger two, Nora and Gus on a field trip, with the other home schooled children. Grayson will have to go in to work, so at some point tomorrow, he will bring Avery to us. I hope he doesn't forget her suction machine because I am not comfortable without it. Hopefully he will go to work after lunch and Ashley will be in early. I can't lift her to change her and I know I'm stressing out for nothing. It will work out. Sorry.
My husband's table saw has been worn out so we went yesterday and bought a new one. I also told okar Karen I am trying to get him to 'think' and figure again, while we rarely get out. He doesn't need to spend so much time inside and in the recliner. He needs to redo the ramp the guys made me when I was in the wheelchair. The price of wood has really gone up, but we need the ramp now for Avery too.
I need to go to bed so I hope this finds all of you well. I tried to send some latest birthday wishes but I know I missed a lot of them. If I missed yours, I'm sorry but hope you were treated as special as you are. I am behind on emails and probably won't catch up with those either. Oh well, if there is something I need to know, I'll find out eventually.-lol
Take care my friends, Much love and hugs-Toogie
Avery was fine yesterday, she seemed glad to be here.
I remember when you lost your brother. I never had a brother but you’re right it’s not easy losing a sibling. My hubby lost two last year, one in March and another in April.
Sue’s son just text me. He’s coming in to his dad’s today and he may come by. We really don’t have ‘visitors’ but can’t refuse her son. Yesterday was the first time Ashley and family has been here since Christmas. Covid sure has controlled people’s lives. Anyway we are glad to see them when we can.
Take care and I appreciate the love & hugs, right back at ‘ya!
Sometimes words aren’t necessary between friends, just knowing you’re here and only a phone call away. You are better than me about calling.😉
My day went well, no emergency episodes with Avery. She was fussy but eventually took a nap. Gus and Nora enjoyed the reenactment. The people were dressed in period costumes and interacted with them. Nora danced the dances of that time with them. Of course when they returned she had to perform the dance again with her mom and show us pictures of her dancing with the group. They were tired but had a good time learning history.
My thoughts have been with you since Sue died and I'm pleased to read that you are getting some rest now. Time of course is a great healer and it's lovely to go back in our memories and remember special times spent with family members. On that note I do hope your husband gets up and moving about once he starts up that new table saw. I'm sure you will have some jobs lined up for him, besides a new ramp.
I bet it was lovely having Avery visit, she is such a special girl and I know how much she means to you all. Your grands are growing up so fast, can't believe that Nora is playing the piano so well. Ophelie has a keyboard, but hardly touches it. I wish she played it more, but unfortunately hand held devices seem to be the thing that kids are going to these days.
Keep well my friend and I am looking forward to seeing that lovely quilt you started. Thinking of you across the miles (kilometres!!) Love Chris
I will continue to search for the pattern. The astronomical prices on Ebay are totally ridiculous. If I do find it, I would gladly share with others that are looking for it, not try to rip someone off. Keep sharing your beautiful work. Don't know how you do it all!
