I wonder how many times Richard and I have asked ourselves if we have done the right thing. Does anyone know if you take the right path through your journey of life until you have tried? Today made us feel as though we had because it is January and we were outside in the garden, albeit working hard, but in glorious sunshine. To be able to sit and have a cup of tea outside at this time of year is a bonus. So yes, today we have done the right thing. Could I have said the same yesterday? I'm not so sure because my little grand-daughter in the UK fell and pushed two of her front teeth away from their roots and was taken to a specialist where he pulled the two offending teeth out without anaesthetic!! Poor little soul had to be wrapped in a sheet and held while it was being done, but after crying for a few minutes, she was fine. After talking with my daughter today and yesterday, you wouldn't know that anything had happened, apart from the fact that she won't have teeth there until she is about 6? Did I mention she is only 1 year old. That is when it hurts being so far away, but then, children and parents have to live their own lives, it certainly doesn't stop you loving them and giving them virtual hugs when you can.
When I get the hang of this blog thing, I want to put some photos on here, but I haven't worked that one out yet. I should be pleased to be able to do this second posting because yesterday I couldn't find how to do it, it had got lost in the bowels of the damn computer, but luckily, after my shouting "Where the hell are you?" it waved a little flag and here I am again. I will keep the postings short, is this short? otherwise I could get carried away.
For mums everywhere: ..even as a child you knew you were being led, and as you grew older you sometimes suspected you were being taken, but who could resist? Who wanted to miss anything? You knew she was building a glittering web to contain you but you knew you were always at its centre... and she might be controlling you but she was also completely at your service, helping you learn to work the controls that would take you farther....

Don't know if this went through the first time. How wonderful to finally see a picture of your house! Somehow I had pictured it as a one story farm house. It's huge! How long have you owned Dorothy? She is a beautiful machine.
I'm looking forward to seeing some of your new quilt blocks. I'll keep sending you pics of the quilts I make. I also hope to one day be making a quilt with you.
As ever, Sharlene
How great to finally see a picture of your house! Ron and I are so very envious of your "living the dream". Hopefully, our turn will come soon. Dorothy is a very beautiful machine. How long have you owned her?
Am very anxious to see pics of your quilt blocks. I will keep sending you pics of the quilts I make. One of these days, I hope to be making a quilt with you.
As ever, Sharlene
