Today is the day...........
DD#1 took DD#2 to the hospital today for her caesarian ........................... the new Granddaughter should be here by noon. Shelby and I are leaving for the Hospital about 11:00 as she wants to be the first one to hold the baby after the Dr. , nurse, Mum and Auntie Cory ................................ I guess I will be next after Shelby.
We gave Shelby a phone so she got something special when her baby sister arrives............. life will be different for her as after almost 10 years she is no longer the only child. Being the oldest of 5 I have no idea what it is like to be an only child. I am 3 years older than my brother so I don't remember life before Bob .......................... life with Bob was definitely Interesting. That reminds me our family Dr. ( he really does see all of us) told me I have an interesting family. I wasn't quite sure how to take that as there is a Chinese curse that is rather similar " May you live in interesting times"....................... that we do. Some days it feels like we go from one crisis to another but on the whole life is good.
Shelby was very excited about her phone and I think she called everyone she knew last night. She has free evenings and weekends plus unlimited texting. Today I have to take a photo with her camera so she can send it to her friends.
The buggy blanket isn't going well. I only had one ball of each colour and initially thought about doing three pattern repeats but then did four.................. if I had done 3 I would have been able to make the sections equal but with four it doesn't work so now I am visiting the frog pond. Sooooooo last night I went to Knitting and spun.

Blog, blog,blog,blog......................
Well the tearful phone calls from the DD with marital issues are done . The other DD has her baby on Thursday this week by cesarian so no more trips to the emergency wit false labour. DGD's father is no longer here causing concerns that require a 911 call . Did you know that 911 got us 3 policemen, 3 firemen and 2 paramedics. Don't ask me if they were good looking . I was busy dealing with crying children and mopping up vomit.
Most of these events occurred within one week. Jill's car has died so she is borrowing mine when she needs one. Shelby went to her other Grandparents for 2 weeks with her half sister Jessica. Lorraine and I picked them up today at the Merrit turn off on the Coquhalla highway.
When I asked the girls what they did at Grandma's they said "fight". I think Pat was glad to send them home.
I am knitting socks for me and a buggy blanket for the new baby. I am also working on an applique block and a couple of quilts.
I have to get a couple of things done before I meet my Niece-to-be as she is going to take things to Ft St John for me.
I received the most wonderful parcel from LisaD. We were partners in a wee sock swap. Her parcel is much nicer than the one I sent her as she really tied everything to the Rapunzel theme. I will post photos later today.
Okay so I have updated this blog. I can't believe that May was the last time I wrote anything but life has been hectic and very emotional.

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.
