This week has been a nightmare......my husband had surgery on Monday. I spent the entire day from 5:45 am to 6:30 pm at the hospital. Tues with a storm looming, I got to the hospital around noon. The Dr came in around 2:30 and said he would discharge my husband. It should ahve been a quick process....oh no! We finally got out of there arounf 6pm. I got hubby settled and ran to the pharmacy to have his prescriptions filled. I got to eat around 7:30 and after getting hubby's cath bag changed… Continue

Wanted to stop and say "Hello". I joined today. I've been a quilter about 15 years and during the time I have amassed quite a stash and stack of UFOs. I am slowly working at getting both down to a manageable amount. I work full time in a retail pharmacy and I find this cuts in to my time way too much. I am married for 27 yrs and have 2 children. I added some pics of my works and need to now get back to putting another top together.
I am glad to find such a wonderful group here

Got my had stitching and my snacks all planned out. Will Jimmie Johnson get his 4th championship? Smoke sure looks like he has a good team going, and Mark Martin's not done yet! Enjoy the event!!!

I don't know if I ever got the hang of entering the numbers, etc. I used to get yelled at if co-pays had increased from the previous month. Like I'm responsible for that!! I'm glad the admitting department takes care of all that. We do have problems with certain medications even in the hospital setting. Some meds are never paid for. Anyways, I guess we both like the name Rebecca! I hope your husband feels better and that your own surgery goes well. Get some quilting done while you can. It's so hard to fit it sometimes but it is worth it!

I have to compliment you on the pictures you posted, you do really nice work. I have been quilting for almost 3 years and have to say I am addicted. I absolutely love it and it is such a relaxing outlet. My Mom was an inspiring quilter but I never took the time to learn. I was too busy with the kids etc. Big mistake, but better late than never. Hang in there and I wish hubby a speedy recovery

I'm sure you know how tough it is to work with the public. I hope your husband is feeling better and that you find that time for quilting!!

I appreciate you taking the time to look and post.
