You deserve a good getaway now so enjoy your quilting time. How about coming here in Sept when it's not quite so hot and we'll sew and play? BTW . . . Love your 7th grade picture. I'm not brave enough to ever show mine. Curly hair that was terrible. It was an awful way for me to start junior high school.Anne / Springleaf Studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06114887911414187175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-4084610604067395742017-04-21T06:39:15.822-07:002017-04-21T06:39:15.822-07:00I had that same flip.

Hanging her special pictures and making sure that she had all of her favorite things around her helped. I make new placemats for her each season and she's getting a new quilt for Mothers Day. These transitions can be successful - especially if your mom makes some friends. Good luck to you all.thevanillayearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00325907351557450453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-2080166254267864832017-04-21T05:25:37.407-07:002017-04-21T05:25:37.407-07:00LOL, I have the same 'flip' picture probab...LOL, I have the same 'flip' picture probably from the same grade! Good thing that went out of style. What doesn't go out of style is the degree of love and caring you have for your family. We are facing very a similar situation within the next year, and know it's not easy. I guess you just put one foot in front of the other and carry on. Have fun at your retreat.Barb Neiwerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05489488237974557963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-9055131123655896502017-04-20T16:19:20.028-07:002017-04-20T16:19:20.028-07:00The thing I love best about your family pictures i...The thing I love best about your family pictures is how all the smiles look genuine, like they are happy to be together and in the moment. (I know we all have our moments, but they seem to love being together.)<br /><br />Hope your folks have a good transition and are happy together in their new home. Enjoy your well earned break on your retreat.Robbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13963176990398590719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527612360558538909.post-76253624101935578442017-04-20T15:48:32.715-07:002017-04-20T15:48:32.715-07:00Reading this is tough.

My mother died a few years after she moved in due to lung cancer and my sister is in much better health since she is receiving full time care. I know your mother is still fine, but being with your dad is probably very important to her and will bring a joy that nothing else could do. Gos bless all of you during this time of change.stitchinpennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06341867288910993051noreply@blogger.com
