Connie, thank you for the kind words. My husband is a huge help! As I said, he and my parents were always close. It was more like father/mother/son, rather than "in-law". My Mom has a huge support system and she deserves it as she was always there for each and every one of us.
While she's in rehab I've been working on an easy flannel kit from Shabby Fabrics. It's amazing how just a little time at the sewing machine each day clears out all the fuzzies that have been in my head since she fell.
