No, Mom is 82 and a bit frail. She does contribute money, though, to the Susan Komer Walk (I think that's the name) in Tucson and some other BC survivor's organization. Mostly she basks in the love of her children, and grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. We're all darned happy she is still around, and the three of us who are in Arizona make sure she is cared for when needed, and left alone when she needs that. I see her daily, Pat sees her at least twice a month, and Mary sees her several times a year (you can tell who lives closest, lol, Mom and I live across the street from one another) and both of them are on call when she needs something. The rest of the kids and grands visit when they can, send money and gift cards, and keep in touch. Since we are in Tucson and most of them are in Minnesota, they love to come in the late winter/early spring and enjoy the sunshine. We get very active this time of year, and love it!
Thanks again to all of you for your prayers and good thoughts. I looked at her injuries again tonight and didn't see a single trace of redness. Although I know this is not a serious problem, I am once again grateful and amazed at the kindness and generosity of this group of quilters, and the effectiveness (sp?) of the group's prayers and thoughts.
To put this on topic, it's the first weekend in almost a year that I don't have to work and we don't have company....I am going to sew! Put the borders on my nephew's quilt and get it sandwiched, and start an appliqué thing that I have wanted to do for years, and maybe begin another Charm Star for a friend. One of the things I love about quilting is that there are so many options to chose from and so many lovely projects to have on hand!
