Thanks for your nice words - you know what it is - plus me with my test I was affraid to have to place her - but no everything is fine with me - so we are still good to go - thanks again

Hi Bev,
I really appreciate you getting back with me. When you talk almost daily and then you don't hear from someone for months, you do begin to worry(especially at my age). I am glad to hear that Maria did have her surgery and that she is doing better? I am saddened to hear that your hubs lost his job. It is so hard for anyone to make it today. You get your life going and then someone mixes it all up and your ends that you thought were getting closer are suddenly pushed so far apart there is no way. I hurt for you to hear you might lose your home in Ga. but I understand you were more at home in "sweet home Alabama". I also know what a collection of things we can accumulate in a certain period of time. Being the quilters that we are, I would dare to say tthat one truckload was probably all your sewing equipment. I sure do hope you don't have to wait too long on the new job to appear.
Thanks for getting back with me and when can keep me posted on your situation. If you can talk to Maria, Please tell her I was thinking about her and I would love to hear from her. I will close here and hope to chat with you later. Thanks

Beverly , I have not heard from you or Maria Carroll in a long time and was worried about the both of you. I understood that you were closer to her than anyone else so I therefore thought that I might get an update on her and the surgeries she was preparing to have. If you know anything at all,I would appreciate it if you would cantact me to let me hear.

Hi Beverly, Thanks for answering back. I am so glad to hear that you are now cancer free! I know how hard it is to get back on your feet after all the cancer treatments and then having lasting side effects. You have gone thru so much more than I have. My breast cancer was stage 3B and had spread to lymphnodes. So my treatment was very aggressive. I count my blessing every day!
I can't believe that your hubby has taken up quilting! I can't even picture mine doing that!! He would get very frustrated and it definately wouldn't be a pretty sight!!
Sorry about the wrong word in my last note. Realize was suppose to be relieve!! That chemo brain kicks in at the strangest times! Have a great day, Joan :)

Hi Beverly, Read that you are a cancer survivor, twice. I am also a cancer survivor and have just reached my 5 year mark. I am active in the American Cancer Society to help raise funds for reasearch. Volunteering with this program is my way of giving back. I hope that you can continue to quilt. I know that it helps me realize stress! Joan :)

LOL!!! My cats wont do that I am sure of it. And as far as my stitches, I have played and there is a stippling stitch. More than likely I will be using it on hubby's quilt! Happy Quilting my dear friend, and it is always nice to have others around that are understanding!! ~Em

Hi Hun! Thanks for all the support and confidence! I have found something that has definitely helped me cope so to speak. If you get a chance read my blog from today, it should make you laugh!!! Sometimes we are the people that are given the issues are the ones that can deal with it. We have been given a curse and a gift. The curse is that we are miserable sometimes. The gift is we are strong enough to handle it and make others make along the way!

Hi Beverly, We will have to meet when you get moved to Asheville! Where is your husband working here? Mine works for the USFS at the Research Station across from UNCA. There's a great quilt shop here too, so you will enjoy checking that out. It's really a beautiful area to live in!
