The reason I say that is my granddaughter was very ill when she was 3. The doctors didn't really now if she would survive. I was grief stricken and terrified I would lose her, and at the same time in constant anguish about my son's pain and worry about his daughter. But I wouldn't trade being a mom for the world!

I needed to hear that today as I sit here boo hooing that he is leaving the USA tomorrow. I did get to talk to him this morning so that was nice. I may have to break my new years rule on UFO's and start a special quilt for him instead. I miss him so much.

BTW - Our power came on Tuesday afternoon. Yea. It was only 6 degrees Wednesday morning. Good day for heat.

I got home to Kentucky from my Florida vacation to a cold dark house. No power since last Monday night. Ugh. I'm staying with my sister but would love to get the power on and back home. It's so cold here - below 20 today. Elaine

I have a friend who has fibro she dosen't quilt but does beeding when she is having a good day. You Ladies share great tips living with fibro. I will follow you and see if I can pick up something to help her out. Do you have a fibro support group ? Maybe she could join? Thanks for your time. Elaine

And p.s., my sewing room NEVER looks like that anymore... I clean it up regularly but it takes about 2 seconds for it be a wreck again! Looking forward to your postcards and the addresses!

I can't think about gardening until May/June. I have two raised gardens which I really like. I can sit on the edge and weed. Although, one of the quilters talked about lasagna gardening, which I think I just might try. Sounds interesting.
Well, I'm at a computer training course and we had some problems this morning but it appears that it has been fixed so I must say adieu for now as I am on company time.

Being in Canada we don't get as hyped up as the Americans b/c we actually vote for a party and the head of that party leads our country. We have had some interesting stuff going on in our government as well.
I have my daughter, son in law and granddaughter living with us and she had everything packed away before the new year. I was disappointed as I love having Christmas stuff up but I must admit, I'm glad it's gone. They put an offer on a home which was excepted so now they want the home inspected to make sure all is well. If all is well, they will be living about 3 miles from us. We live out in the country so it will be real nice to have Nova nearby. I have 2 other grandkids but they live overseas.
Sounds like you have your hands full. Good luck with it all.
