Holidays

It has been quite sometime since I have written in my blog!! My husband has lost a job, got a new one in Arkansas (we live in Kansas) and we found out that his cancer has come back. He has been taking chemo treatments, but now is facing surgery on January 16th. We are standing on our faith that the surgery will be successful and that they can get it all!!  Please keep him in your prayers, thanks.

I lost my Dad in Sept. to lung cancer after a long summer spent mostly in the hospital. I miss him so much! With his death we had to keep Mom in the nursing home, she has alshimers (sorry, don't know how to spell this) and needs constant care.

On a good note, my son, who has been working in Japan got to come home for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It has been so good to see and be with him and his lovely family. I am blessed that they live very close and I get to see my wonderful grandchildren often. He will have to go back the 19th of January for about a month, then home for good!

My sewing, quilting business has increased a little. I have one quilt top to put together for a lady with some blocks that her grandmother made years ago. Another lady has a pattern that she wants made up of a Radient Star or Star of Bethlehem. That one will take awhile to get done. The quilt shop where I work part time wants some shop samples made, so all of this will keep me busy. I belong to a doll club with one of my online groups and I want to get some clothes made for my doll, so I will work on that, by hand, while in the hospital with my husband.

I could go on and on but will close for now.

Happy New Year to all!

My prayers are definately with you and your loved ones. You have had a lot to worry about this year with your father's death, your mother in a nursing home and now your husbands health. I pray that you will find peace and that you will be able to do what you need to do to help each member in your family.
