what? october already? while i was preoccupied with the hip thing, months flew by without even realizing...but at 85 degrees, sure doesn't feel like october to me. both my daughter and i long for crisp, cool fall weather...thankfully sewing knows no season! here's my monday report...
giving credit to bonnie hunter for this project, although not exactly like her 'narragansett blues'....it's a donation for the guild and a special request from a veterans' organization....
and my last scrap cross-stitch project is nearly finished...it'll get the same fabric treatment as 'autumn' and be sent along to my mum...
and this was the big event of the weekend that i enjoyed from afar....
cousins who haven't seen each other in 81 years got to meet and catch up....impromptu photo of my mum and her cousin dwight, last together at their grandmother's funeral 81 years ago. omigosh you can sure tell they are related...both nearly 95 and mentally sharp, living independently. they are the last 2 surviving grandchildren....my lucky siblings got to enjoy the moment in person.
a whole week ahead with plenty of sewing time and NO medical appointments whatsoever! now to catch up on household chores and ramp up exercise....can't slack off on that!
I was looking at the adorable photo of your Mom and her cousin and wondering how it could be that they haven't seen each other in 80 years, when it dawned on me that I have a cousin I have not seen in over 50 years as well. My how time flies!! I adore your new profile picture. What a cutie you were (are!).
ReplyDeletethanks...my grandmother died when mom was 2, so she was raised in so gardiner...visited every summer or so...in those days it wasn't an easy drive and stayed pretty much local til we moved to MA...fast forward and reconnected with jonesboro family...
ReplyDeleteIt's so great that your mother and cousin could be in person! I know your mother is in Maine; where does he live? It's been a few years since I've seen my cousins--one set is in California, the other set is in Pennsylvania, and my sister and I are in Illinois
ReplyDeletehe lives 3 hours north...jonesboro
