Hi everybody - I'm back!
Welcome back Alice. Glad things are getting back to 'normal'
for you and the family. Hope your dh is on the mend and stays well. DD is getting ready to do a cross country train trip too. Was that fun? SHould I be worried about her? I hope you are able to get back into your quilting and drop in here once in awhile. Taria AliceW wrote: Well, firstly, I missed you guys even though I lurked when I could. I am finally homebased for a while from all my travels and actually fondled fabric today - boy did that feel good. I kept you all in my thoughts and prayers even if you didn't need it. Those that did, got extra helpings. And I'm on a new weight loss program (down 8 pounds) so happy dancing is my exercise of choice. I won't go into details about my activities over the last few months, but here are the highlights: The positives: Took a trip to Florida to visit mom who is still in good health and where my two grands got to meet each other and play like they knew each other for years! Celebrated my grandson's third birthday with him and the family. Took a 4500 mile train trip with my husband across the country and back. I waved to everyone in NJ, PA, VA, Washington, DC, Illinois, and all the states between Chicago and Seattle down to Oakland and San Francisco! Didn't buy any fabric, but picked up lots of thimbles! The negatives: Not much quilting happened Hubby had another diverticulitis attack - scary when that happens. I missed sharing with you all But hopefully, I will soon be 'splaining the new baby quilt I have in the works for a dear friend's first grand baby. The sewing room has been straightened up and cleaned out. Big tubs now hold the inventory with clear labels. Project list has been reorganized. I accepted the fact that I don't have to finish every project I started in a class if I didn't like the technique. Phew, that was a tough one. Well, enough for now. Time go get ready for tomorrow!

Hi everybody - I'm back!
This sounds like the makings of a new book Pat! Maybe you should post it
here in installments. You could have cliffhanger endings so we eagerly await the next chapter. -- Kathyl (KJ) remove "nospam" before mchsi http://community.webshots.com/user/kathylquiltz "Patti" wrote in message ...

We would so love to hear all about your 4500 mile train trip; DH and I think about that sort of adventure sometime. Could you possibly do a sort of 'traveling' report and tell us about it? And furthermore - as to abandoning a project from a class you took - Of course you can abandon. Think of it as your history report in 5th grade about cannibals. Just because you studied it doesn't mean you have to make a habit of having people for dinner. Toss it. Can that precious grandson really have turned 3 years-old? My goodness.

Hi everybody - I'm back!
Well - guess what - it won't be with the same publisher ggg
Actually, I have had some really fun/interesting adventures. I did start writing an autobiography once, because of them; but last night I thought: perhaps I should just pick out the fun bits and leave all the intervals!! Have to link of a linking title. It would be a great trip down memory lane. I found last time (about 15 years ago) that, once I had started, all the memories came flooding back, things I hadn't thought of for many years just popped back into my mind. Eg getting ready for bed in a tiny 'cabin' in a train, where you had to zip up a canvas door and leave the wooden one open - or you couldn't move your arms enough to get dressed or undressed!! And, of course, you had to remember to leave the bed 'up' until you had been to the loo and washed g Then you unzipped the canvas door and closed the wooden one. Huge fun! ...
