Girls I have some sad news and need your prayers to get through the next few weeks. My husband was in an auto accident yesterday and didn't survive, so I won't be around for awhile...I will still be in the exchange so don't count me out... Hugs

Rosemary I'm so sorry for your loss. Lean on family and your "higher power" to help you get through this. Sending prayers you way

Very cute pin cush. Wow lots of goodies with it. Congratulations on your match. You should be very proud of yourself.

Rosemary I'm so sorry, prayers being said for you and your family at this difficult time.

So sorry to hear about your husband Rosemary.

Special thoughts for you and your family.

Rosemary so sorry to hear the sad news. I am sending prayers for you and your family.

Rosemary how tragic, you and your family will definately be in my prayers. I am so sorry for your loss.
Bangor is the big city. Two hours away. We usually go for Dr. Appt and business equipment. If you have any health problems and need a specialist or a bigger hospital, you have to go to Bangor, Portland or Boston. Bangor is a more central area. Hope you enjoy it.

Rosemary, I am so terribly sorry to hear about your loss. Will keep you in my thoughts. My heart aches for such an abrupt loss.

Dwina-Bangor...the big city? I am moving from Chicago...8 million residents in the Metro area... to Bangor..30,000 people. But yes- I will be providing some of that medical care you are referring to. I am looking forward to less traffic, clean air, and being able to see the stars. Among other things.

Rosemary I just seen this. I am so deeply sad to hear of the loss of your dear husband. I am getting ready to pray to the one who can be with you during this tragic time. I am here anytime if you need a listening ear. You will continue to be in my prayers. I am so sorry.

Rosemary,
I'm so sorry for your loss..words seem so inadequate, they can't always convey what the heart feels.
I will keep you and your family in my prayers. I am just a pm away if I can do anything for you.

Courtney,
Congratulations on your "match". I can only imagine how hard you've worked and how proud you must be!

Regards,
Kif

Rosemary -- I just found out through this thread about your tragic loss. I feel so badly for you & wish there was something I can do for you. I will keep you in my prayers, & your family also. Please PM me if you need anything. God bless you.

It is a big city when you live on an island of 700 people. I won't even drive in Bangor. A couple of yrs ago we had to take my DD to the Dana-Farber center in Boston. What a place, I couldn't wait to get out of there. I wouldn't drive there if someone paid me 10 million dollars. I like the 2 lane counry roads. What type of medical will you be providing?
I don't think Bangor is a pretty place. You will probably have to go outside of the city to see the stars. Too many street lights. Sometimes a little smog, not often. In the spring and fall a bunch of us get together in Bar Harbor for quilt retreats. We go when there are no tourists. The traffic is horrible in the summer. Eight million people, wow! I can't even comprehend it. I will be visiting the big city tomorrow. We may be trading cars. There are a lot of auto dealers there.

Yesterday I received a great pkg from Roserips. She was very creative and her hand embroidery is just marvelous. I love hand embroidery. She took a lot of time to make my gift and I so appreciate it. On the back of the cup, there is a recipe for Irish coffee. She also sent a lovely card, a book which I will try to read before my friend wants it. I lost the cute socks to my DD. Thank you once again for the wonderful gifts.

Dwina, what a lovely swap you got from Roserips. So much creativity. She put her whole heart into it you can tell. Simply awesome!

Dwina, you received a lovely swap pkg. the pincushion is great and the hand embroidery is excellent!

I also forgot to mention she filled the pc with roven. It works great to stuff pc with.

Dwina you got a great swap from Roserips. The hand embroidery was awesome. Great package

Wow, Dwina, what a wonderful swap package! Love the p.c & the hand embroidery is awesome! Great swap, roserips!

I think I got all the pictures that were able to be posted so I will create the collage in a little while.

As promised, here is the collage of all March pictures.
