Hello Faye - Love your bee quilts and the applique roses are absolutely gorgeous - look forward to seeing the finished wallhanging.
As for children leaving and coming back - take it all in your stride dear - I have now 43yr old back home-years of working up north in mining then spending every 7th weekend in Bali; driving trucks up and down the State of WA etc he didn't need home of his own until 4 yrs ago when he offered to buy only to be thwarted by work accident a month later; wrecked his right shoulder then 6 months later hurt back left wrist and left ankle sandwiched in midst of 4-car pile-up whilst on work errand - 4 years next month, and he's still suffering after 4-5 surgeries, ongoing suffering etc and still fighting for compensation - up to 41% disabled and unable to do what he trained for - no matter how old, they will always be our children
