Quilting first...I cut and made blue binding for this quilt.
Now I do not think I like it after all my work.
What do you all think?
There is blue in the quilt...does this overpower it instead of enhance it??
Maybe it does not even matter and I am overthinking it.
Labor Day visitation...We had a great time.
Daddy stayed 3 and a half hours...He fixed things and loved on his children..
Daddy is 50% Cuban...Kids are 25% Cuban
We are from Miami after all.
Kids helping daddy cook the burgers.
Eight year old Lynsey loves "Bake It" on U-Tube!!!
Today she frosted her cake all by herself... Look how proud!
We all love Daddy..hoping always for the best!!
Today I decided to teach the grands...the Marcarena...I told them that Grandma was going to buy them a CD and we were all going to learn it.
They told me that they all knew it and that I did not have to buy it, it was on U-Tube
Then they showed me.
Poor Grandma...so out of touch.
And young and beautiful Cara on her new quilt!!
Some days, like yesterday, I do not think I can function any more without Mr. O'Quilts...
Then, the next day...I am still here!!.
My hip is getting better.
Off all the heavy pain meds and back on the vino tinto..
Over did it of course on the cane so back on the walker!!
My sister took the younger children for the night last night.
Today she came and fixed Labor Day dinner...
On the way out...she told me that next time I cry about having no family support.
I am to remember I have her....a sister who cares.

Dae and her man brought dinner for tomorrow and Wednesday.
