What a journey you are on, Rhonda..!! Good to hear your Hubbie is doing well in recovery and is able to amuse himself...and you.. Laughter is a wonderful way to keep hope alive... good luck in your diet goals.. will keep you both on my prayer list...Keep safe!

Rhonda, I'm so sorry to hear about your health concerns.
I hope you are able to get the weight off. It sounds like a threat.
you don't do what we want, you don't what i have.
saying an extra prayer for you and your transplant. also for you dh.

Swap buddies....I just read from Sewbiz on another thread that our sweet Jaba passed away on Dec 5th...thought I’d share. I’ll miss her...

Has anyone heard from Boop56?

No...has she been ill, granky?

Teen...yes, she has been. She didn't finish her swap from last month, and hasn't replied to questions about Novembers swap.

So sad to hear this. She has been a wonderful swapper and friend.
Thank you Teen for sharing this. She will definitely be missed.

So sad to hear this. She has been a wonderful swapper and friend.

So sad to hear about Jaba. She was my first swapper after joining QB

thank you to all of you for your participation in the swaps!! I so appreciate each of you!

I also want to say thanks for all your kind words about my situation.
I start with a dietitian on a diabetes education course she is going to work with me on.
My dr also is helping me with meds an upping my thyroid med. she said that would help.
My husband is doing really well. He has been learning how to use the online part of his laptop.
He has only used it to play games before. So he is enjoying life now. We are still quarantined
other than dr visits and my pulmonary therapy 3 days a week. I just really really miss my grands, My grandson Cody has a 1 yr old little girl Anarra and I only got to hold her last Christmas when she was 4 mos old. I hope to be able to see her one of these days!

So sad to hear
 

So sad to hear she passed away. I have been in more then several swaps with her. I am sitting here yelling out no, no, no. I am so glad I got to know her on the board.


On a different note. My internet connection is often none excistant at this point. I can with some difficulty read posts but have a much harder time posting and can not post pictures from my phone or access my messages. I am working on a the next wallhanging. Or better picking out a pattern and now I need to decide on fabrics.

Rhonda....good news...so glad you both are doing ok and you are working through the challenges. Dietician will be awesome to work with to help reach your goals. I worked with one when I was helping my uncle with his diabetes. He was all over the place and undisciplined...drove me nuts...so frustrating. I bought some books and sat down with her and she was amazing. My uncle improved so much with her meal plan suggestions. And, he did really well reading labels after some training and a few shopping trips with me. My cousins (men...) were worthless in helping him....why is that? Ugh! Anywhooo, you’ll see your babes soon so stay positive and zoom!!

Anna...you go, girl! I haven’t even thought about my WH yet. After the holidays I’ll be all over it!

I know, R-Sea....I have a WH from her and she has a WH and Tablerunner from me. I’ve been so sad. At least I have a bit of her in my home..

I received my WH from R-sea just now and Granky is being so kind as to post it for me.
Thank you Rosalyn for the adorable farm animal scene. You couldn’t have known that I live across the street from a farm....actually one of the fields is across. The house from 1860 is down the road a little ways and it used to be a dairy farm. It’s perfect for me and I’m hanging it in the kitchen.
Also thank you for the pamphlet, fabric, fabric folder and the nice note with a tea bag. Wouldn’t it be nice if we all could share a cup of tea.
Thanks again R-sea...... Stay safe and Merry Christmas!

Jaba was one of my first swappers too. So sorry to hear this news.

Posting for skaduzy......

That’s darling, Skaduzy....R-Sea makes the cutest WH’ings... quite the goodies, too. Fun stuff! Would love to sit and have a cup of tea with you all too...lovely vision in my head..

Very sad about Jaba - time is precious ...

AND ... TA DA ... I finally got my wall hanging today, and a couple of extra goodies!!!

Thanks so much Granky!!!

Happy holidays to everyone

Yah!! So happy you finally received, Marion...man, that took some time...

*Whew*!!!!!!!! Hope this type of debacle never happens again!...glad it finally arrived! I have to take the blame for the first month...I left a digit out of Marion's house number, and it took a month for the package to be returned to me....to be sent out into cyberspace for how long? another month???? Anyway, all is well that ends well, but I'll sure double check addies from now on!
