I realized that I have not mentioned one of the highlights of my summer. I have always wanted to learn to quilt. Thanks to Deb. Harnly, I got the chance for a great cause. Calvary Methodist Church wanted to make quilts for families who lost their homes in the Black Forest fire. They needed lots of help, but I taught on the day they gathered to sew. Deb said that I could host my own quilting bee and donate the quilts. I did. Each Tuesday morning we gathered together, and thanks to Pat and Carm, I learned to quilt. We were so grateful for Shirlley's donation that allowed us to buy batting for all of the quilts. We ended up donating 10 quilts. Not bad as many of us were virgin quilt makers.
We are all back in school. Becca started high school and Laura started her senior year. I can't believe my babies are so grown up. I am so proud of both of them. They are beautiful, smart, young ladies. My prayer for them is that they enjoy this time in their lives. Becca came home the first day in tears as she didn't know anyone in her new school. All was better by the third day. Laura is just excited that this is the beginning of the end.
