she is currently in indiana with my grandparents, just spending time. one of my great uncles just passed away and she went back for the funeral. anyway, my mom has been busy filling her time with stripping and re-painting my grandparent's garage, golfing, taking my grammy to costco and apparently trying to learn to quilt...... (just the mental image of that makes me laugh)
"Off to Costco to stock up on Costco deals - booze, olives, gigantic steaks, and yellow, red and orange peppers.
Spaghetti and meatballs for dinner followed by a brisk walk with my sister.
I even actually QUILTED a block of a quilt for the darling baby of my baby who is due in May. It was a challenging experience of my losing the needle and big stitches and little stitches and I must admit I swore - it is just not the meditation for me -- although perhaps it needs to be THE meditation for me. Anyway it is actual proof that I contributed to one of my mother's quilt masterpiecies. She has made a baby quilt for perhaps twenty babies - they are each a masterpiece that will be handed down in our family for many years. Each signed and dated by my mother - the quilter, made with love and good wishes and a few swear words by me. Although my mother, with her fading eyesight says the Blessed Mother helps her thread each needle....
Tomorrow - with luck and a little warmth I will begin the power washing of the garage followed by the the first coat of paint."
