The Interloper, Gifting and the Rant

The Interloper:
For months this grandmother has been looking for the first grade spelling list.
Grandmother is outdated..There are no paper spelling lists any more.
It is all now online on Spelling City.
In order to do her spelling homework..
Missy has decided that this computer is the
"girl" computer!!!
Gifting:
IQ presents for Christmas from my girl.
Before she came home from her job from Ireland, Emily picked Bay leaves
from her man's family backyard tree in Cork.
She ordered bottles online and stamped the cards.
Such a lovely present.
The Rant:
Never, ever did my Dear Man criticize me for spending money on quilting.
Never...
He would say...Did you have a good time?
Do you love what you bought?
Then he would give  me a hug.
That was my wonderful Dear Man!!!

Tomorrow I am 9 months a widow.

Tonight Marie and I went to the Guild sale.
It was so much fun.
I was thrilled to have the energy to go after 3 years despairing..
I bought wonderful bargains!!
Once home tonight......
I heard from Stephanie that I was nuts and needed professional help.
From other close family  members I was told that I had a problem
and could just not stop.  Hmmm
My darling are you listening to this abuse??

Who, may I ask would have turned down....
Beautiful vintage sewing machine table with working Singer inside and all tools intact???
For $10....He asked for $15...I told him senior discount should be $10 and he said ok!!!
The naysayers said that I did not need it as I already had 4 machines...Hello??
Need is irrelevant and the two youngers can practice on it...
Who, may I ask would turn down beautiful batik fat quarters for $1 each..
Again, need is irrelevant.
I had a wonderful time...not even bothered a bit by the judgmental ones...
Hello, it is my money and my house..etc.
I am of sane mind.
I have been through a lot in the past few years..
I deserve this...said moi...I so do!!!!
