Gratitude for the Fluffy.

Today brought a drama...
But, since this is a quilting blog, I am going to feature some of my older quilts
to pad the way:

First up my international 12 inch snowball quilt.

Snowball quilt backing , flying geese made with leftovers from the front snowballing.

My veggie jar quilt for the gardener, Mary Pat

 The applique quilt I made for Lynsey's wall when she was young.

 Red Onion quilt, I gifted to Judy

Below, my favorite cat ever...Milito and buddy, Cookie
They are cuddling on one of the string quilts that I made from
clothes I bought during my trips to India in the 70's.
I made several of these and gave them to  my daughter.
These kitties are long gone....

Now for the story...I love a good story:

An enormous amount of weight was gifted to my body, since ALS came into my life.
I am grateful for the real and substantial me...

For I had a nasty fall this morning.

I broke nothing....because I bounced.

Thank you God.

My 4 fake joints are still working.

My old bones have thanked me for the protection.

Dearest Ellen left a present on my porch this morning...such opportune timing
She did not know that I had just fallen!!!
Two large bags of M&Ms in a lovely bag on my doorstop

, Just because she cares.

Dylan was squeamish...Lynsey just took care of business...even though it was not fun.

I slid on the shower water, I grabbed an antique clay piece my mother had made, instead of the counter...

My foot was cut, there was a mess...there was blood, there was screaming..broken glass covered the floor.  Everyone was scared.

Lynsey went into doctor mode.  She put on gloves and soaked my cut foot.

Then applied ointment.  She made me hot tea.

She helped my son get me off the floor.

Under medication, I feel better. My guess the morrow will bring more swelling and bruising.

Lynsey sauteed veggies for our dinner.

I wanted hot dogs, but she insisted on something healthy.

That girl....
I always sing to her...What would I do Without you.
I found this funny one:

What Would I Do Without You

At the end of the day, perspective has arrived.
I am thankful

As the World Turns

Happy 32nd birthday, son.
We had a great visit yesterday,
You were in wonderful shape
I am grateful.

Your new boss called me last night

He told me that you were the best worker ever.

I am proud.

 I had a lovely dinner last night with Ms Katie.

She is 3 months a widow, feeling this pain that never goes away.

It did not keep us from having a a night out and a few laughs.

I came  home to start sewing... Around midnight, I was finishing these postcards when I put the sewing machine needle right through the nail of my index finger.
I went to the bathroom to remove the needle and find the Peroxide where....
I promptly fell backwards on the big white tiles of the big bathroom floor.
Could not get up
Where is my man??????
I need him.
Nothing broken   TBTG
Everything hurts...
Today it all hurts worse.
I had to scream to wake up Evan who helped me up
I know It could have been worse.
But I am feeling sorry for my sad self.
Very sorry.
