The Serious Side

It is the time of the year...

With all the Irish hoopla around here for 37 years, one would never guess that my background is Swedish.

Well...here we go...Bro-in-law O'Quilts, Declan has arrived from Dublin.  He will be staying for a week to visit my dear man. Oh, Lordy...He has not even been here a day and he has already changed light bulbs, filled bird feeders, listened to me moan, fixed a table..so much help. Today, outside, it was 82 degrees in Charlotte..The boys skyped another brother, Kieran in Galway...so nice.

 I am so worried about my  granchildren with another loss...called ALS.
So Guess what?? From an online ALS caregiver support group came this great information:

Hope Loves Company

It is a non-profit company to help support children whose lives are affected by ALS.

I signed up for help for the three grandchildren who live with me.

They sent a book and three teddy bears.

We read the book last night and each child went to bed with their new teddy bear.
9 year old Evan was out and about for this picture.
 Here they are now after school, taking their new teddy bears for a ride. Nice to be 5 and 6.

I ordered this helpful book online on Amazon.

Just gotta accept and get with the program..Of course having a great support system to lift us up is worth millions and millions.
Last but not least....Look at the cute bird fat quarter the obsessed found at Hancocks!!!
