Surgery Goes Well!

Got through my surgery in good order and now am in a wheelchair for a couple of weeks. Thanks for everyone thinking of me! I haven't had a lot of pain and I am very thankful for that.


I have also learned that our house is not wheelchair friendly!!!! But I'm making the best of it and coming of with new ideas for moving around!!!!! My dear husband has become chief cook and bottle washer and is doing a splendid job. Our neighbors next door, great neighbors that they are, have brought in a great deal of food and we are happily eating that!!!! Thank you to our dear neighbors. Other friends from Sit and Sew have sent gift cards to restaurants in town---isn't that a nice thing to do--------many thanks to them. I've gotten so many nice cards and phone calls from friends, too. Everything means so much to me-----------thank you from the bottom of my heart!


I've done some handwork---redwork and some wool applique. But mostly have been reading and napping. This morning I tried some time at the sewing machine and sewed together the blocks for a Wicked Easy quilt, but I got awfully tired from just that little bit, so I went back to reading. But it was fun to be at the machine again!

DFW Gang Get together

DFW Gang had a get together yesterday in McKinney, TX. We met at the LQS, which is Quilt Asylum---I got lost, but a quick call to the store got me there---they have recently moved and although I knew that, I still got turned around! We had fun shopping there and I got Fat Quarters for 3 more Yellow Brick Roads for Project Linus. I found a cute Owls fabric and a Tweet, Tweet fabric that was just too cute to pass up!

Then we went to The Olive Garden for lunch--that was yummy! We tried to be very nice to the waitress-in-training and our waiter! He even took the picture for us!!!

All in all a very good morning and early afternoon! It's fun to get out once in awhile with friends, isn't it?!

In the picture, starting at the left are Debi, Sally, me (with a lamp in my head!!!!) and Brenda! What a bunch of fine ladies. I treasure their friendships!
