Red-red-red...I know it has a million shades...but each one of you that adds to my block will mean more to me than the shade of red you choose to put on. I am going to love and treasure it. Just because I have not been activiely working on Jan and Teresa's blocks doesn't mean I haven't been thinking about them. Ideas are tumbling around in my head and I know that something wonderful will come up and inspire me. Thanks Brat, for 'fixing' my block. I learned a lesson from it and that sometimes there is too little time and too much to do. I should have taken a bit more time and done it better. That is precisely why I am not rushing the other two out the door. Glad you gave us a large time span to have our assigned round done by. Oh, as to garage sale, I have always heard that one either makes money or gets rid of 'stuff' and we did the latter. Most things I had were under $10 down to .25 and I only had to move one box of things back into the shed. So there is a lot more room and I am happy as are the folks who bought the dishpans and washtubs, old shovels, etc. As to those of you who have children moving out...especially if it is the last one...tough. Been there..done that...but just be proud that you raised them well enough that they feel confident that they want to go out on their own. That is life and it has been going on for centuries. You can always talk on the phone or email. It will get better and in the end, you will be proud of them. That being said, tears are okay for now. Been there - done that..too! Hugs!
