OF COURSE THEY CAN

ROSEY, make that a double room at the funny farm. They just don't use the same language you and I do but those of us who live with them day in and day out learn to understand most of what they have to say.

Shadow is doing quite well. The shot she received a week ago for gastric pain is still in effect and she's quite herself. Apparently the shot can be administered several more times so I guess she's going to be with me for a while longer until it is no longer possible to make her comfortable.

Right now sewing has taken a back seat to preparation for the long drive to visit childhood friend Julie in northwestern NJ on the way to Rochester for the graduation festivities for DGSs. One of them called to say that they've reserved that weekend to spend some unhurried time with Grannie. Oh how I love those kids and wish there weren't 900 miles separating us. I just can't afford to give my current place away and that's what I would have to do to make a move before the real estate market picks up again. Besides, who knows where they will end up after college. Their sister is just three years behind them so she will be off into the big wide world before we know it. Considering taxes up there I probably couldn't afford to make that move even if the real estate market were to improve. Oh well, I will cherish the time we do have together.

Hope you are preparing your entries to my guild's show in August. Even more so, for the NC symposium hosted by the guild in 2012 at Western Carolina University, about twelve miles from here. Better yet, hope some of you will come here for that event with great teachers, accommodations at the university, great exhibits including the university's collection of vintage Appalachian quilts all snuggled here in the glorious southern Appalachians. Check out the website at http://www.smokymtnquilters.org/ for information and entry forms etc.
