We are all part of a widow's group here, in Charlotte. We have known each other for a year.
It was a death anniversary this Easter weekend for some of us.
I lost my love two years ago..
We wanted to celebrate our lives together with the happy,
not the sorrow.
Cabins rented for the weekend, Wonderful times had by all..
(Of course, someone we know...cut her finger with a knife and spent 4 hours at the ER)
Cough...wonder who that was???
Still had a great time..
The next day, a picnic by the Pee Dee river and homemade ice cream.
Outside in the beautiful, soft starry night,
We lit candles.
With hands held, we celebrated the joy and gratitude in life.

That quilt block has several names and Old Maid's Puzzle was the first name I heard for it. The quilt has a nice selection of fabrics in it.
ReplyDeleteAh, not a quilting retreat, but you managed to get some work in some quilting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful support system you all have -- really so very wonderful.
Has it been two years? Time moves so fast. It seems a nice idea to get away with your friends:)
ReplyDeleteI can't quite believe that two years have gone by already - but I'm pleased that you enjoyed your time with a wonderful group of people. Now, the trip to the ER - stitches??
