Wow. Really?

Has it really been since June since I posted? Wow- So much has happened.
I am finally back to work. I am working thru the Temp Agency AtoZ for the VA. It is 40 hours a week, and hopefully will lead to a permanent fulltime position.
My Quilting Business- Peace Valley Quilts is slowly taking off. I have recently quilted Tresa's quilt, am in the process of making 5 quilted handbags, and have made 3 aprons for the Wiebe's, quilted a small quilt for Shirley too. I scheduled 3 classes, we'll see who I can get, and how many students attend. I was also asked to teach the Service Learning Club to make pillowcases in September.
Mom has been here since the beginning of June. It has been a long summer. Mostly because of Alzheimer's and Demensia.  she needs the volume up so loudly it is ridiculous. Memory, both longterm and short term are shot.She doesn't like chicken, noodles, broccoli w/out cheese, and so much more. She shuffles very slowly, and drinks very little water- and wonders why her urine smells.....Hate to say but I am counting the days till she goes home.
Shirley can't move to Glendive in the apartment she was looking at as she makes too much money. She says it is because they look at the gross income and not the net. its a shame they look at it that way as she really needs to get closer to family and a place for Bill that is close to a hospital.
Well I better go- need to make the bed so we can sleep tonight. Try to get back on tomorrow and let you know about Erin her most recent relays....
