S.E.X. in the wild, wild west

Well, I have relunctantly returned from from colorful Colorado. I spend
nine hours with Lori and her Cruiser, Teresa of the Bernina Shop, and their
comrades, accomplices, and buddies. Whew! Where did the time go? I had a
ball! Never laid eyes on any of these 12 or so women before, but sure did
NOT feel like a stranger at all. DH began to have some uneasy feelings
about letting me just drive off with a stranger whilst he was up on a
mountain. Well......... you have to admit that it is a little
unusual....... BG

I took along my mini whole-cloth for show and tell, and to have some hand
work. I'm really in love with that thing now, I haven't hand-quilted in
awhile. Been too hot. But now I've found the solution. MINIS! : )

I didn't really buy much fabric, but I'm very, very, very happy with what I
found, and that's what counts!

The trip put a nice big chunk of space between me and losing my Mom so
suddenly. It was like she just slipped between my fingers, and I couldn't
quite get it that she was gone. Now I'm accepting it little by little. I
can't do anything about it, and remembering that she is free now is what I
need to concentrate on. I can't do anything about the mental depression
either, or the big emotional hole in my chest. So I'm going to concentrate
on my physical health. And I'm going to continue fixing up my studio, and
letting the quilts flow. : )

Thank you Lori, for all the Cruising we did together. We had some nice
talks along the way. And thank you Teresa, for the beautiful squishie, and
the tips and hints about buying a Bernina. Your shop is a beautiful place
to work. Hello to Melody and Carolyn for me.

And your quilting group lunch was way fun! Waving to all of them as well,
and once again turning my heart towards home.

So glad that you enjoyed your trip. I can understand that space in your
heart. It takes a long time to heal, maybe it never will completely. But
always remember that your mom is with you, for as long as you remember her,
she will be there.

(((Welcome back hugs to you.)))

Tia Mary's due to give me a shout Thur, for a meet-n-greet this Fri, and I
was wondering that very thing ... d'ya s'pose they'll decide to meet me,
just prior to reaching their destination point, and we'll go our way and
he'll go his? Hmmmm ... out in the middle of who-knows-where??? Naw, my DH
wouldn't go for that either .... BUT ... perhaps that means they'll both
come here first!!! That's a better thought yet! *grins* The guys'd
probably get along so well, they wouldn't even give us a second thought.

Made me grin listening to all your fun! :^) Sounds like the most wonderful
trip ever.

Your mom will be with you always, embracing you & encouraging you. She may
even bring out some of the mischief in you on occasions. Granted, it may not
happen quickly ... but it WILL happen eventually. I know all about that
mental depression, and that big empty hole. It's not easy, and can take
loads of time for the heaing heart to begin healing ... but sounds as though
you're well on your way, and have the support of many wonderful friends as
well.

Karen,
Glad your trip went so well. I have found within the last couple of months,
especially, that the people on this group are simply WONDERFUL. While we don't
always get to meet face to face, it is nice to know that not-so-much-strangers
are always here for us to cheer us up, give us a shoulder to lean on, or a
virtual tissue.
