Amazed and other goings on

Well I keep up with a niece by following her blog. Sometimes I am truly amazed at what I read on it. She is so so much more religious than Ash and I, and sometimes we think to the extremes. But that is truly her decision. We would not take that security away from her as long as it is not pushed on us. However I just read something about being truly grateful to her parents for the way they sacrifice their lives by taking care of Mom. As we get her several months out of the year I understand what they have to go thru. It is nice to know that other family members are realizing what we and Ash's Brother and Cheryl are going thru as caretakers.
It will really set Mom back now that Annette has told Mom that she is in the last stages of her cancer. And has been given only a few months to live. Mom has already buried her husband, and her youngest daughter. I am not sure how she is going to handle this. As for us, well Ashley is checking into some passes that Butch can get him to get to PA so that he can see his sister a final time. I think he is ignoring parts of it but that is the way he is dealing with it. The flight out is a way for him to make it a realization. Ashley is the youngest of 5, and he has buried a sister already. It is hard for him. I just hope he realizes I am here and not to block it in- like he usually does. Bless you Annette.
Well, I am going to start up classes again. A Carpenter's Wheel, and a Split Decision which is a jelly roll quilt.I would love to have 2 in each class. I'll get back to you on how well it goes.
I am also working on the binding for Emily's quilt. I hope to get it done this week. I joined a quilt group. Stash-Builder's. I hope it goes well.
