Our Aoife turned 3 on July 22nd...Here she is in her bed with her new birthday friends. Big teddy from Ireland and foxes, made by her ma!!
Aoife's favorite present, a rubber camera that actually takes pictures.
Her birthday dress: Liberty of London, made by her mother.
YUP, this is the very same daughter of mine who, on leaving for college, exclaimed that she never wanted to see a sewing machine again..!!! Ha! Two weeks later, she called me for a sewing machine to make pillows for her apartment. Now my Emily, is quite an accomplished dressmaker and quilter...a mother's pride!!!
Carrying on through this crazy recovery process with potholders...OMG
I have spent a lifetime with people, listening to their sadness, etc. As I struggle for friendships here, I find that people only want my friendship if I am upbeat and fun to be around. Every stressor brings back all the other grief. So, my guess is that I am hard to be around for some. It is so disappointing.

Veggie haul from my girl's garden plot.
A joyful sight.

Thank God, Pearl is dead. Surely hope her sister does not show up.
