The End of 2010

A quick synopsis of some of what has been going on.....
Well it has been since August since my last post. Alot has changed, and happened. 

 Mom went back to Florida sometime in September, before my birthday. But not before she made sure she "conned" Rosie and Allen to take her to the hospital due to pain. Which in turn caused and brought attention to a huge communication issue. The Drs found an aneurysm in her back and told her she didn't have long. False. She does have an aneurysm- found last year from Dr in FL. It has not grown or moved. We ( Ash and I ) were made to look like the bad guys from the Butte gang. admittedly we did not know about her health problem till the Dr visit.Mom has always been a hypochondriac, therefore Ash and I took her complaints as with a grain of salt. As it turned out when she got back to FL and Butch took her to the DR he was told that the aneurysm did not move or grow. The pain was from her back and the arthritis she has. Did Butte call at anytime to inform us of Mom or to say sorry for the accusations? No. Are we spending holidays there anylonger? No Ashley and I do not feel we are welcome. We feel like we are not good enough for them any more. Oh well, their loss.
It took awhile but I finally got the remainder of the payment for the quilting class I am teaching. My student kept giving me excuses. I also have quilted for customer several quilts. Starting new classes up again in January. As Peace Valley Quilts we have attended several shows to check them out for next year, and participated in some shows. We will be doing the Civic Center, Clancy Middle School, Butte/ MT Tech,and Boulder Christmas shows next year. The business is slowly but steadily building. The way Boulder supports businesses I don't believe I will ever have a store front though.
As far as work goes. I am still working as a Temporary. Now, however I am working at AT&T. The pay is awesome. I am a meet & greet person, no stress either. The only thing I don't like is the hours. I would love to off by 5.... But I am working and beggars can't be choosers right?
Thanksgiving consisted of Erin, Ash, and I sharing a fried turkey, PA Dutch Potato Filling, and the r est of the normal items. Rachel and Brandon were in Libby with his family. Christmas will be in Belgrade w/ Rachel and Brandon. We are going to have dinner ready for when Rachel gets off work.
The plans for the wedding are coming along smoothly thank goodness. Rachel and her girls along with Wanda and I went to Billings in Oct and she found her dress. It is gorgeous. Can't wait for Ashley and Brandon to see her, they are going to be pleased.
