Dad passed this morning. I live (unfortunately) on the other end of the country from my parents -- they are in Florida and I'm in Arizona. My older sister and brother are there with her now. It's been a very long slow decline, and it's finally over for her and us. I'm taking leave the rest of the week, I will be channeling my energies into working on quilts, since I won't be travelling to Florida anytime soon. Mom wants to wait to have a service when we can all be there with her.

MizMelly, I was sorry to read about your Dads passing. I fully understand that with some illnesses when they finally pass it is a blessing for the family, but you still grieve for the loss of what you once had. You and your family will be in my prayers. Hopefully your mom will be able to adjust to a new normal and find peace and happiness.

MizMelly so sorry about your Dad. I know it may not be much comfort, but he is out of his suffering now so try to take some comfort in that. If there is anything we can do, please let us know.

I've washed and pressed my fabrics, well all except one. It seems to be MIA, once I find it I can get started cutting and sewing.

I've been finding stuff as I go through and organize the new house. Found the safe full of my moms stuff and had a good time going through her pictures. Have a picture Of what I want to do in my head, just cannot even think about putting sissors to anything til my sisters visit is over. She comes in Wed night and will go back on Monday. I can't wait!!! To see her, and to know that I got so much done getting ready for her visit!

Enjoy your visit with your sister, buslady. As far as progress, I cannot understand why I can pick out fabric at the store, I feel it and it looks okay and then I get home and it's a silky fabric! I have done this 3 or 4 times now and it just gets my goat! It is pretty, but it is not what I thought I was buying!! Darn!
