WHY ME?

Why do I have a nice warm house?

Why do I have a passion for quilting AND the time to enjoy it?

Why do I have a husband that is still my best friend?

Why do I have three kids that became awesome adults and found awesome mates?

Why have I been blessed with five beautiful, healthy grandchildren?

Why do I have a husband who has always striven to make my dreams come true?

Why do I have a husband that deals with his MS with grace and a sense of humor?

Why did I have two parents that loved each other and raised me and my siblings by example? In spite of the fact that a common momism was "do as I say, not as I do!", all we had to do to learn to live right was to follow their example.

Why do I have so many siblings, all of whom I love to be around?

Why am I healthy?

Why me?

I don't know.

But I sure am thankful.

Mine! All Mine!

The super-duper uber-cool awesome machine I had on loan from the LQS is working. Apparently I didn't really break it.  A little part switch just in case and all is well. That was good news. 

But, even better, I was given a price in case I really did want to buy it.  And WOW!  I couldn't NOT buy it.  They were so generous.  I am so thankful.  I love it!

Mine!

(do I sound like a spoiled brat?)

And look!  It does real embroidery! It takes data thingy cards!  It connects to a computer!

And look at all these built in stitches!

And it sews faster than the speed limit!

And threads it's own needle!

Whew!  I gotta go take a breath and maybe lay down.

But isn't it just the coolest?!  I love it!
