    Letsquilt,
    I am so very sorry that your dad is having to go into a home. My sister and I took care of both my mom and my dad when they were too old to stay on their own and in the end in their separate homes. They passed on two years apart.

    It was very hard and sweet at the same time. I don't know if that makes any sense. It was just such a privilege to give back a little and that took the bite out of the circumstance, not out of the loss.

    I found that the little things I did to spoil them while they were needy was the most precious to me now.

    Anyone else making a top or project yet? I was thinking of playing with mine today.

    I may make my remaining Halloween blocks into a table runner. Maybe I will start on that once I have my Christmas Ornaments made for that Swap. I have so many ideas for the ornaments, not nearly the amount of time I 'd like to get 'er done!

    I finished my ornament up yesterday and bought a couple little things for her daughters today. I will wait until much later to send off though. It just doesn't seem like Christmas things are a part of Halloween! LOL!
