Veteran's Day and 11/12/13

Have been sick recently with a cold.   This past weekend was a busy and a sad one.  I was out of town for my guild's meeting with a friend on Saturday.  Then on Sunday and Monday we were mourning the loss of two friends with the ceremonies all of that contains.  All because of a tragic accident and lives snuffed out too quickly.   Goodbye Frannie and Barb.  You are taking this last trip together, may you both find peace.

So with all that shared,  I didn't do what I normally like to do and post of honored Holidays, my birthday and unique dates.   I am okay and will beback shortly.    Am gathering my steam .....  Jane

First week of December,

Today is a cooking day while watching PGD#1. Sugar cookies done this am, turkey soup fixings all finished up for lunch and then onto a French Onion Soup with Roast beef for dinnertime.


While visiting all the doctors appointments lately in town and in Vermont, we were able to get some of the Christmas and Birthday shopping done. I also was able to add to my stash while traveling to RI last weekend, so now all I want to do is find some time to stay home and play with my fibers and toys.
The Alphabet sampler I started last Friday in my nephew's driveway is all done and I love that it's only been 1 week from start to finish. (Another little happy jig going on.) The colors recommended for it were Linen DMC threads and I did go with one linen -L223, the other 2 colours I used selected on my own. I'll share what I did when I get it framed and photographed. I was able to pick up another 8" square frame in VT on Wednesday, but I think a larger frame would be better since they look so much better when framed with a mat. I'll have to check out what is available at Michaels tomorrow when I go into town for a class I'm taking. I'm taking the scrap therapy class offered at a LQS.

A good friend passed away suddenly this afternoon so my dinner plans went amuck. But friendships are such a powerful thing, that you have to honor and cherish when needed. Say prayers please.

Be Well,
Jane

Another angel in heaven

With heart felt sadness I need to say that a dear friend's Mom just passed away. She endured many difficulties in the past several months and I know Sylvia will be missed by all who knew her. She was a quiet, soft spoken woman of the south, that had a beautiful gift of listening, being non-judgemental and just was a very nice person. On a previous post I showed a beautiful painting that was done and gifted to me with spontaneity. The artist was Sylvia and that is just a glimpse of the generous spirit of how she lived. May she be at peace.

Farewell to one talented man - September 14, 2009

I have always enjoyed Patrick Swayze. Especially in the scenes from Ghost, Dirty Dancing, boy could he move all the right parts! Hubba Hubba.
I recently found this SNL original skit he did with Chris Farley and thought I'd share it with you.

Chippendales

So sad that they are both gone now.
