  2. Marlene, my dear, I haven't been getting the dashboard alerts for your blog so I assumed you wouldn't be blogging until you got back. There's the lesson I learnt today: don't assume things!

    You have such energy - I don't know how you squash in everything you have to do. Your quilts are beautiful but it's not something I could do because it takes such a long time and I am a bit impatient. I should work on that shouldn't I?

    I am thankful for you and the examples you set for me.
    Have a great week. Hugs, Lura

  5. #30 is my favorite on this list. Teenagers can grieve me so or bless my socks off!! They're great!
