Sparky (in Salem) just contacted me about the Sisters Quilt Show (July 9th). Are you interested?

Cindy, didn't know you were having a birthday! Besides the job loss, hopefully there was a bright moment to the day? Like Cindy said at least you won't have to be sick so much to enjoy the quilting! I'm sure there will be something out there. I hear in places that there is a real shortage of nurses!

The offer has never come up again! :-(
I'm packing my bags for November!

Sherryl: Thank you for accomodating my bad hip, back and legs. I'll know on July 15th when my surgery will be to have the right hip replaced. I'm truly hoping he can do it in August so I should be good a new in November. If that is the case, I can sleep upstairs or down.
Thanks for the offer of your room. Having all of us over is enough...we couldn't possibly EVER ask your husband to give up his bed for this party! He really must be Mr. Wonderful to even consider giving up his bed!

LOL - I already told DH he has to go somewhere for that whole time in November. I want to have fun too and feel at ease just like I did in Lincoln City. He can go visit his sister in Coos Bay or something. I wouldn't participate if he was having a guy thing at the house so it is only fair -right. Good luck with the surgery tho.
Can hardly wait for Nov.

Sorry to hear about the job - but like everyone else has told you with all your experience and personality the right thing will be just around the corner for you. Good luck. I hope this doesn't interfer with your plans for the first weekend in August. Hey, I just thought of something - now that you have more free time you could have more Smiley Face days :wink: :wink: .
Take care,
Sherryl

Hi Cindy: I'm so sorry about your layoff but this might be the golden opportunity for you to rest, quilt, rejuvenate yourself while receiving unemployment comp and to reflect on the job opportunities that are awaiting your application. As happy, bubbly, fun and with as much personality plus as you have, some one is going to snap you up soon. I'm joining the group hug for you as well as for PATTYJO.
PATTYJO - I can't even imagine how awful it would be to lose one of my brothers. I'm so sorry. Be thankful that his passing was quick as the slow, painful process is so difficult for the patient and the family. Hugs to you.

Oh my goodness I'm only about 25 pages behind! SO MUCH seems to have happened while I was gone.
Condolences to PattyJo and Loraine on losing loved ones. Prayers for you and your families.
Congratulations to Karen on your DIL's pregnancy... yay for grandbabies!
It looks like the beach retreat was great fun! I really wish I could've made it out there for that. I see something is brewing for early November. Where in WA are you Candlequilter? It would be great fun to have a sewing weekend with ya'll! Loved seeing all the pictures; it looks like you all had a fantastic time. ^^
