Thanks for asking, Taria. * She has some 'spots' that have appeared on
her last scan and we are praying they are not mets- as in it's
spreading. * The docs are taking a wait and see approach. * At her age
getting aggressive with treatments would be really hard on her.
Prayers would be appreciated.

Back to one of my fave subjects: dogs! * *I have dear old blind Simon
with arthritic, dysplasia hips, goofy precious Hoover the Golden Boy
and newest one- Jezzie the 100 lb. puppy. * I have them trained so I
can walk all three. * Now, I'm 5'3" on a good day and The HairyButt
Gang ranges from 85 lbs. to 100+ lbs.. * Simon walks closest to me on
my left. *Then Hoover to Simon's left- Hoovie and I guide blind
Simon. *He senses when we step down or start to turn and he feels safe
between us. * Then ginormous Jezzie is on the outside to Hoovie's
left. * All three know to line up in their place on my left and to
walk in the 'heel' position. *And then we stroll down the road.

We get quite a few looks.... * LOL

Well, *no announcement from here. *My ds is 'engaged' *Ring, no date to be

DD I have almost given up hope on. *Heck, *my kids don't even have any pets.

I actually don't know the parents. *The deal is the wife of my nephew has a
new
niece on her side of the family.
At the baby shower they signed some flannel squares to be made into a quilt.
It is supposed
to be small and snugly. *I don't see that any of the flannel was washed.
She didn't want
the squares to touch each other but didn't want anything between them. *Oh,
it needs
satin binding too. *I got a bag with the uneven squares, a half yard of
quilting cotton
and a probably too small piece of flannel backing. *No satin, no batting. *I
squared up
and sashed the squares and am going to just finish the darned thing and
request nobody
knows I helped. *I would have chosen minkee. *I have a piece here but I just
don't think
trying to explain would be worth the trouble. *I thought soft batting might
help. *I did
this so neice in law *woman get a clue that there is some value to what we
quilters do. I probably have wasted my time but I tried. *She has been very
appreciative
of the baby quilts I gave here babies though.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. *I have a piece of the MM batting
Maureen
suggested so I am going to give that a go.

Taria, *survived taking the 2 big golden girls in for shots today. *Georgia
thinks an outing is

everything.
ps- how is your mama doing Leslie?

When I made my mom's chemo quilt I wanted super soft, so I used Minkee
for the backing. *That stuff is amazing... glorious! * It's fairly
heavy/thick, so maybe flannel would be good *used as a batting layer
just to stabilize the quilt a bit???

Who are the parents of this mystery baby? *Can we expect a BIG
announcement *from you, Taria? * *;-)

Leslie & The Furbabies in MO.- wondering about silk or wool batting.
I've not used either one.

What is your recommendation for the softest batting ever for a small
cuddly baby quilt?

Leslie, here's hoping for good news for your mom.

I wish I could get my newest monster to behave so well! He just
turned 9 months yesterday and weighs about 100 lbs. already. Just a
big goofy chocolate lab. Smart but goofy. The 8 year old girl is
quite well behaved on walks. I'm in your boat - only 5'2" - and he's
just way to curious about everything. He has gotten better. It's
been difficult to do much work with him as the other one gets quite
anxious if she's not included during 'homework' and then he only wants
to play.
