We're having a Heat Wave in Cameron
so I decided to cool us off a bit
by doing a winter quilt
so our sale item this week is
Winter Wonderland.
I just love this little quilt.
Years ago I read something written by a quilter-
I'm sorry, I don't remember who.
But she said that you need 3 things to be happy
1. Someone to love
2. Something to do
and
3. Something to look forward to.
Well, I lost my main "someone to love" and am really glad
I'm a Christian (Missouri Synod Lutheran) because I
know I will see him again when I die and go to heaven.
And of course my "something to do" is quilting.
I talked with Max last night and my "something to look
forward to" (besides eventually dying) is going to be staying
with Max one week a month, Jake one week the next
month, and Zoie one week the following month.
That leaves me one week to stay at home and work with
Tammy on quilts. And since I mainly do appliqué, my
quilting will go with me.
Kelly is here to take care of dogs and cats
and Willie is here to take care of my chickens.
When Pep and I got married we rented a house in
Kansas City and started looking for land between
Kansas City where my mother lived and Chillicothe
where his parents lived. We found 80 acres in
Cameron and built our house here out of Midland Brick
and Tile, (Pep's dad's brick plant). 55 years later when he died,
the kids wanted me to move closer to them but leaving the
home we built together would be like losing him all over again.
For the first time since he died, I feel settled. This will work. I can
have the home Pep and I built together and still have the
comfort of relationship with my children.
Thank you Jesus for working this out for me.
