Dennis had his round of infusions. Will repeat in March. He did great. As a matter of fact, he did not use his wheelchair the entire four days! He seems to have moved on to the walker. We drank lots of Starbucks, and oh my, the snacks at the infusion center were first rate. I […]
Oh my friends, this has been a week. Not in a bad way, just busy and hectic and full of domestic tasks. I have had my most recent eye injections and Dennis has had his physical therapy and hopefully we will both live to see another week. My macular degeneration has improved significantly since my […]
This has been a great week as far as sewing goes. I managed to get in some sewing time just about every day. The blocks above are the first two granny square blocks for my sister Andrea's neutral table runner. I love how it's coming together. I'll have to confer with her about the length. […]
This is my brother-in-law Greg opening the quilt I gave him for Christmas. There was a bit of a delay after the actual holiday until the family could get together for a gift exchange. Unfortunately, I couldn't be there because I can't leave my husband for very long just yet. I had given the quilt […]
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday time! Ours was pretty low key, but that was what we wanted. Ahren and Sara were both here for Christmas Eve and Christmas, so that was fabulous. I cannot think when I had both my kids under one roof for Christmas Eve! Now it is time to […]
Merry Christmas everyone. This year things are a bit different for our family. The tree may be smaller and the decorations more minimal, but the gratitude I feel for all the love and support I get from all of you readers is tremendous. Thank you all so much for all the encouragement and words of […]
I'm so excited to have my son Ahren home for Christmas. We had a grueling car trip to pick him up from the San Francisco airport. Over eight hours in the car. But we are home now and all is well. The guest room is all cozy and set up for a special guest. I've […]
This guy is my hero. I call him my son-in-law, which he was at one time. He is Eva's daddy, a winemaker, and an all-around wonderful human being. He helps me out at the drop of a hat and is the person I call at midnight when I need a helping hand. He is always […]
I've had a lot going on this year, particularly in the past six months. One thing I did manage to accomplish was to finish a quilt for my brother-in-law. When my sister was alive I made her a few quilts, which she so appreciated. Her attitude must have rubbed off on her husband because just […]
I am still enjoying what is left of the fall color. Most of the leaves are down or have turned brown, but there is still a tree of two that still hangs on to its red or yellow color. Inside our house it looks like Christmas, but I still love that outside fall color. I […]
