Grumpy

I stayed up late last night playing a silly game on the computer and this morning that darn dog got me up by whining. When I got up to see what she wanted ..................SHE went back to bed. By this time I am awake so Charlie and I get up and make coffee ,etc .......................usually morning routine. I have not had enough sleep and am very grouchy. Lorraine came and took me out for lunch which was very nice. When I got home there was a parcel waiting for me from Jennifer in Winthrop, MA. We were partners for this months wee sock swap and this is what she sent.

Can you see that the flowers are really very wee socks. They are just adorable

here are the other goodies she sent note pad, note cards, tea, chocolate, cinnamon mints and a little sign. I am fellingvery spoilt today. Thank you Jennifer for the lovely parcel.

Retreats, Grad dress, yard work....................

Well I had a great time at the Quilting retreat last weekend. Jocelyn and I went together Thursday and arrived about 1:30........
eventually everyone arrived but Jackie and Gail were going home friday night and Margaret wasn't arriving until friday evening. It would have been nicer if everyone was able to stay for the whole time but we had a great time anyway.
Brigit had bad news to share ................ she has breast cancer and goes for surgery on May 12th. We all rallied around her and gave her as much support as was possible. She was apologizing for "spoiling " the retreat but we assured her that this is one of the reasons we do retreats ................. to support each other through difficult times.
I finished the tops for two quilts and fixed the corner blocks on my Crane quilt. Now I need to sandwich and quilt these tops. I have been working on my Dear Jane quilt again...............I started this quilt in 2005 and may one day actually finish it. i am doing it by hand and just enjoying the process.
