Today DH and I are going go shopping in the 'big city'. We will drive about an hour and a half to the state capitol of Idaho which is Boise. We will just have a fun away day and go to our favorite hamburger restaurant. I won't be sewing today. My friend, Gina, came yesterday for our first quilting gettogether. She decided what pattern she wanted to make for a tablerunner. I suggested she try a sample block first and she loved the fabrics so that she is finishing it off for a table runner for a gift for another friend! I love it when someone grabs onto quilting and runs with it! The block I showed her was the D9P.
Not only do your children live near but your mum, too! I might have said that for 43 years I lived away from my parents. We were able to have a close relationship in spite of the distance. Three years ago DH and I were able to move here where the folks are and we love it and are so thankful. We do live away from our daughters and their families, though. How far away is your mum?
