I intended to include in my post that I saw some great fussy cut squares this time. I know how much extra effort it takes to do this - but we all appreciate the effort it took! Thanks!
Like sewbizgirl, I too am thankful for my family. It is so great to see those little boys and girl that I think of as still litte, grow up to be adults that one enjoys conversation with, to listen to their thoughts and opinions, etc. Our oldest son, our "traveler" is happily married now to a wonderful woman he met in Bogota CO and is very happy - didn't think he would ever settle down, just had to meet the right woman. Our middle son changed professions a couple of years back to be with his family more and not on the road - he is happy with the challenge of a new learning experience, and is the father of our 2 wonderful grandchildren. And our youngest will be completing next summer a 5 year Biology/Med PhD program at Vanderbilt. She has presented her research at conferences all over the US and at several foreign conferences. She loved going to Amsterdam. She is excited to begin working at a new university, hopefully having post-doc work lined up by next fall. I thought about majoring in biology but I was before the real genetics work began - but it is so exciting to have conversations with her - but it doesn't take long to go over my head.
Finally thank you to my longsuffering husband who has stood by my side for more than 40 years - couldn't function without him.
