Hi all, Just taking a break from sewing a simple four patch backing for a friend's quilt and decided to say hello and ask some questions as well. With my shoulder pain I don't post much but I do read everyday. Has anyone heard anything new about or from Jeanne yet? I remember after my Uncle's funeral, I was laying my head on my Gramma's lap and she was talking about how hard it was for her to wrap her brain around the idea of outliving her children (this was the second child to die before her, my father being the first one). It's so hard not to be able to do more to ease a loved one's pain. I have entered the world of facebook and it's been a family blessing for me. My brothers and I became estranged some years ago when my mom was in the nursing home for a time. That has begun to heal but we (my mom and I) were kept from my two young nieces. The oldest one has since graduated from H.S. and is a college student now. Well, we have found each other again via facebook and are communicating almost daily. Not only that but she's been a personal care attendant for three years and I'm in the process of being assessed for perhaps having a PCA and if she doesn't get the job she wants this summer, she wants to be my PCA for the summer! I missed out on so much of her young life but now I'm getting to know her as a young woman and I am so grateful! (She's in the process of sandbagging up in the Red River Valley preparing for the major flooding that is almost upon them. All her classes were cancelled so they could help.) I was skeptical about facebook but now I'm a convert. If you want to find me I'm listed under Jeri Jo Redman. I'm considering starting a blog (as my shoulders permit) but don't know where to go to start one. Does anyone have a suggestion of how to start...what sites are good? I hope everyone enjoys all the quilt shows this spring, they sound like fun. My greetings to the baseball swap gang!!!! Let the bragging begin!!!! My blessings and hugs to all who are hurting and/or healing. For me it's been a rough winter but spring is here and with it new hope, new beginnings. I'm blessed to have you all in my life.
