Happy Mother's Day to Everyone!
To everyone who has lost a mother, I hope that your day will be full of sweet memories to offset the sadness of your loss.
Yesterday afternoon the doorbell rang and there was a man with a beautiful flower arrangement. Daisy kept trying to bite him and I was so confused and surprised that -- bad woman that I am -- I forgot to tip him. They were from my husband.
This morning I woke up to some beautiful roses next to the coffee maker - and a card -- from the dogs! I think the roses were from my son -- but he is off to work already.
So, I think things have turned the corner in this house. And I think I will let DH come fishing with me.
Robyn, I'm glad you're dancing in your bindi. I've sent them out to a few of my SP's but I don't think they know what bindis are! A while ago I ordered a bunch of silk thread from India and they tucked in packages of bindi with each box. For those who don't know what they are ... they are little decorative jewels that are placed on the forehead.
I'm so glad to hear that your son will be coming home and I hope that he will at last be able to go off on his own. It will really help his frame of mind to be more independent. Those sores are just awful. My sister had them from time to time. Just awful.
Sharon Anne, your mom sounds awesome. What a wonderful adventurous spirit she has! All those fish are a type of porgies called Lafayettes or spots (from the spot on their tail). They are so much fun to catch since you use a herring rig with five hooks on it and if you're lucky -- which I usually am -- you can pull up five at a time. That usually stops my old men buddies from giving me fishing advice -- well, for at least five minutes. On that particular day I caught 183 of them -- and thank goodness I had some help cleaning them that time. I do eat them - either deep fried or steamed with ginger, garlic and lemon in individual packets -- the way my Filipino friends love them.
Reeskylr - hmmmm. There are now three of us in NooooYawk.
LaQuita - Bollywood is the Indian version of Hollywood. The movies have incredible dance music. ALMOST better than salsa - although who can resist a lively merengue? Do a YouTube search. There is one video that my son showed me -- look for Benny Lava - it's someone's made up translation of the lyrics. (Part is a little naughty, but still hilarious)
Diana Lynne - I think we ALL have your name. Watch for the truck ... and maybe you'll want to rent a storage space for your goodies!
As for the blocks for Ryan -- that's the young lady's name -- I will do a tutorial on QAYG. She is such an amazing young lady. She is working on her final qualifications for a difficult program that she signed on for -- broadcast journalism -- and in the meanwhile she is in charge of recruits waiting to leave for boot camp. So ... stay tuned! And thank you for your support.
OK ... off to enjoy my lox and onion bagel and then ... FISHING!!!!
Have a wonderful day!
One more thing ... I am so grateful for this group of SP buddies. We have gotten to know each other over the months by all of our taboo OFF TOPIC discussions -- our trials, our triumphs, etc. and I think that this is a wonderful example of quilting bringing us into each other's hearts. Thank you for your friendship. (((HUGS)))
