No blogging, no nada....still adjusting to no cooking and no caregiving.
Looking internally to who I am and what my new choices are..
Thank God for friends and sister Charmaine...for all the help. Of, course, Matthews Glen staff for spoiling me.
Aoife playing peek-a-boo with Grandma! All via Facetime
The most relaxing activity in the world is making rope bowls:
The grandson of my new neighbor....hmm...brilliant at 10, brilliant at 90....Not so smart at 10, not so smart at 100. This kid has it!!

A little bit at a time.. Forgetting my PT and OT for awhile as I settle in.
Cool new screen on my patio door. It is magnetic , attached by Velcro..Wonderful.
The weather has changed in Charlotte, heading toward fall...Delightful!!
New friends on my floor include a quilter, a music teacher, a master gardener.
I am sitting around napping, settling in, reading and sewing...Also scrap sorting, making bowls and potholders.. My grands were coming to visit Monday....no school...but their mother has Covid...so that was cancelled.
My beautiful handmade bed by Ric in Miami...I have been sleeping in this bed 30 years!! So far. my bedroom. office and quilts...Sherry is quite the folder!!
Aoife turned 2 in July...Her grandmother bought her a sewing machine of her own. Her mommy took the needle out of it and removed the plug. Aoife doesn't mind at all. Now all of my grands have sewing machines from their grandmother O'Quilts.
Great excitement next Thursday as my girl comes to visit for four days from Portland,Oregon. My cup runneth over. I want to grab her tight and keep her and never let her go.!!!
She is going to plant some plants, help me get it together. We are going to sew...already have an extra machine set up. Time will fly and I will be grateful!!
No time at all for Pearl when Emily is here.
A very special present coming from Texas and from friend, Laurel.
My man would be so pleased...His words, and his quilt and Laurel's clever kindness!!
Thank you Laurel...
My vintage white porch table, my pumpkin and the tiny rose cutting from the new neighbors a miniature Knock Out Rose... Just starting here...My sister bought soil........and....just waiting for my girl to come to help out.
And so it goes in my new apartment. Peaceful..
