Happy Girl Gang Wednesday

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.

Now have the best week with the people and quilts that

you love and I'll see you  next week 

    YAY!.
