    Barb - Hope your dad is doing better. Praying for a speedy and complete recovery.

    I received my last birthday package today from Anoka Quilter. Thanks a bunch. I have never seen a Kangaroo Bag. Cool.

    I am still missing packages from pjjandme and BillyJean but I don't expect to see them. They never responded to the candy I sent for their birthday. I hope everything is ok with them.

    It's been a great birthday month. Thanks to all.

    pjandme has been incommunicado for many months. Didn't know about BillyJean. I guess I was one of the lucky ones who got 'candy' from everyone, having an early birthday in the rotation. It's bad when people have received their treats yet don't fulfill their promise to swap with others. We forget it's a SWAP, not a gift. If you can't fulfill your obligation for some reason, you can at least come on and say "I can't do this", not just disappear.

    Glad you had a great birthday month, Diana... I'm still using the sweet little pincushion you gave me, and loving it.

    an update on my dad.

    My dad is now left the hospital and they have taken him to a rehab center. The last weeks events have left him very weak so he can't walk. He is a very determined to walk (with the aid of a walker) so he can go back home again. My dad is going to be 92 in December and my mom is 87 this month. It is a lot for her to care for him (she waited on his every need before this happen) I am trying to get them to go to a senior living place but they are very stubborn!
    Thank you ALL for the prayers and good wishes...I felt every one of them. You are ALL a blessing to me. Thanks for being there when I need you.
    I am so lucky!

    so I believe all my packages (except 2) are in....
    thanks to all for the beautiful 2.5 inch squares. My next quilt for a friend from Argentina will get some of my 2.5 squares. so excited to use the squares that I have been collecting.

    also thanks for the extra gifts:
    jarenie ..beautiful rainbow fabric, Ahwu for my name is calligraphy (saved it for my scrapbook), sewbizgirl for the mug rug and christmas fabric, oneteappot for the yellow fat quarter, nls for the patterns, anokaquilter for the kangaroo baggie, quilter day-by-day for the extra fabric, wmuteach for the bookmark (leave it to a teacher to give me something for reading), jannie for the cute dot fabric, gannyrosie for the 5" squares, benndm (my birthday month buddy) for the thread holder (would love the pattern) and the adorable mouse pincushion and a pattern, Daisy Dew for the turkey fabric, havplenty for the postcards, and appliqués, happylab for the row by row pattern, and djmat for the extra squares.

    I hope I did not miss anything I wrote things down while opening the packages and now I can't read my own handwriting! (I think that is a sign of old age....remember I just had a birthday)

    I feel totally spoiled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You ladies rock!!!!!!
