Thanks so much, Lynette!! It is sooooo nice to hear from someone who has been there, done that!! I much prefer to learn from others than having to make ALL the mistakes myself!! :lol:
I really appreciate all of you who have responded, and the links to previous listings. Very informative. I am hurriedly making a quilt to take to my 96 year old mother, who has just been diagnosed with cancer in her liver, adrenal glands and kidney. She has lived a long life, and we have been blessed to have her. DH and DD and I are leaving Saturday to go and be with her. DH and DD will come home in a week -- I will likely stay. What a blessing she has been in my life! I am spoiled, and I know it! I am praying that the Lord will take her quickly and that she doesn't suffer needlessly. She is still living on her own in an apartment, and up until the last year, she was still leading the seniors in her complex to do America Bakes and other wonderful things! Quite the lady, eh?? I am hoping to be like her -- when I grow up!~!! (only a young 62!!)
