Aoife Rose at her four month check up.
Waiting for her shots. Evidently she smiled for the doctor...Poor baby had not a clue.
Dylan has a wonderful teacher this year.
She knows he struggles with reading and she knows he wants to be a car mechanic like his Dad.
She gave him a car magazine to inspire him...At first he resisted...and then....
When Dylan got home from school , he went into the kitchen and made himself four scrambled eggs!!!! Yeah Dylan....Of course, dear Lynsey was already in the kitchen making spaghetti squash to bring to her mother's house...TBTG There was enough room for two: No fighting!.
I am waiting for these two to love sewing as much as cooking...Oh, well, they are only 10 and 11..
There is still hope!!
An evening visit from a fellow traveler, a friend of 20 years....
a little vino, a little laughter, so saved the hard day.
On the front porch with candles, masks and 8 feet apart!!!
Linda from the Queen Bee and the Good Vibes Quilters.
finished her geese top...so nice.
Thanksgiving Cacti...I fertilized them last week while they were still outside under the bench.
Under advice from our
Wanda, the next day, I just brought them in..voila!!!
Because I am a scaredy cat watching news non-stop, I sent a note to my doctor to see what she says about my desire for a trip or two to Aldi or Target. Her answer was the same as last time:
Wear a mask, social distance, wipe down your cart, sanitize your hands when you leave and wash them good when you get home. Also, try to go at off hours.
Kathylynn treated her self to a precious present...: Her name is Saoirse (Sur-sha) Irish of course!!
Now, she is 10 weeks old. Congrats Kathylynn...
Outside reading...so relaxed. The stunning weather reminds me of winter, growing up in Phoenix, Arizona. Of course cacti instead of leaves, but still. I wanted to capture the moment of peace, the merry little breezes, the crisp and welcome feeling of the moment...I wanted to put it in a jar for the sad times...Alas, the sky changed. The greys changed color, the clouds moved more rapidly. The day dimmed with a colder gust and a darker hue..
The former feeling does not stay. The memory does. It is not the same. Everything changes...all the time. Now I am inside. Looking through the window, I see a soft pink between the blues in the sky, surrounded with lovely greys. Quite cold now. I welcome winter...the change...
Yesterday was the day that I signed guardianship of my 15 1/2 year old grandson back to his parents. I have raised him for 8 years. He is living with his mother for now. She is doing a good job during this difficult Covid time and remote learning , caring for him This change was difficult for me.
This change is the right thing. It was time and Evan is thrilled.
Change is everywhere! As in a no sewing weekend OMG.

It's so good that you were able to be there when your Grandson (and his mum) needed you. Now you have given him the wings to fly.
Loved reading this post Diane, sorry I have missed a few over the past two weeks! You have a real mixture here haven't you - little Aoife Rose waiting for her immunisations, bet she wasn't smiling at the doctor after the event. I think it's great that you have two grandchildren who will take on some cooking, as you will they possibly go the same way with quilting!! A lovely Flying Geese quilt from your friend Linda, I love the setting. Good advice from your doctor Diane, the best I reckon. Very important. Oh beautiful little Saoirse, isn't she just gorgeous, that face!!! Well, what a day for you signing over guardianship of Evan back to his parents, eight years is a long time and I'm sure you'l miss him but you should be able to see him often and the main thing is that he is happy with it all! Keep well my friend.
