Whew! The last few months have been very difficult. My father-in-law passed away a couple of days after Thanksgiving. He had been ill for quite some time but we still were not ready. We spent the entire month of November in Illinois (brrrrrr!!!). My husband is an only child and his mother has Alzheimer's and is in a nursing home so that leaves all of the details to us. We are finally back in Texas and plan to go down to visit our son and family next week. Then back up to Illinois. I think we will be going back and forth for several years.
I am almost done with my cross stitch of the photo of the kids but still have a bit of background to do.
We are going to see the play "Christmas Carol" tonight and I am really looking forward to it. I better start getting ready.Friday December 21, 2007 - 02:38pm (CST) Permanent Link | 1 Comment - Entry for November 10, 2007

Took this pic with my computer so I am not sure how it will turn out. Still in the hospital. We keep taking one step forward, then two steps back. I hope things are looking up a bit today. In the meantime I keep stitching.Saturday November 10, 2007 - 04:00pm (CST) Permanent Link | 1 Comment - Father-in-Law

Good Grief. I didn't realize how long it has been since I have written anything. A couple of weeks ago my father-in-law was admitted to the hospital. I travelled from Texas to Illinois to be with him. We hope to be able to get him settled into a rehab/nursing home soon. I haven't had time to do much except sit in a hospital room. I can only catch a few minutes here and there to work on my needlework. Don't have a camera but will post a picture as soon as I can. Not used to this cold weather. Brrrrr!

I finally started the photo of my grandchildren. I always worry that the colors are too dark but they usually turn out OK. I am afraid that if I brighten it the children's faces will be too pale.
Today is a rough day. When I was at the post office the young man handed me my mail and said "There you go, Sweetie." SWEETIE! I hate that. I don't think anyone should call a stranger Sweetie unless they are under 10 or over 80. To add insult to injury today is my 60th birthday. I guess I am now officially a Sweetie.

I only have a little corner left on my Seal Rock project so I am trying to get it done. I was hoping to finish this weekend but I didn't get in as much stitching time as I wanted. I have decided that my next thing will be a picture of my grandkids. I got a cute one the other day that I am anxious to start.
We are back in Fort Worth. John goes to Law School Monday through Thursday here so we have a condo in the downtown area within walking distance of the school. It is completely different lifestyle from our quiet lake house. Going to Law School is not my idea of retirement but he loves it and it gives me a lot of time to do what I love to do -- stitch.
