When all else is impossible...


 When I cannot settle myself or decide what to sew, I can always sew crumb blocks.  The above crumb blocks are from the scraps my friend, Joy, sent me.  


I have also been making a few of these little squares...they are only 4 inches square unfinished...when they are in a quilt they will be 3 1/2 inches square. Again, the fabrics are from those scraps my friend sent me.

The exception is the center of the one below...

See that fabric in the center?  It is more than 50 years old.  It is from the dress I made in Home Economics back in the day!  It is still good...not rotten.  I would love to have a yard or two of it now.  I still just love it.

Roger seems to have settled down.  He sleeps longer without getting up and is staying up later than he did there for a long while.

I will leave you a shot of Jeremy with his new fashion accessory...

Now living....


 We have moved, and are now living with our daughter and this guy and his sister, Delta.  We are a bit over and hour from our old house...and still have stuff to bring, but we have what is necessary for living.  


It was a rough start to getting here...the night before moving, Roger fell again face first into the floor...but this time he was up in just a minute.  He was coughing again and I think just got light headed.  The first week here, he was trying to get up and slid out of bed and fell over, and I think the same week, he was going to the bathroom one night and fell hard in the bathroom.  

Our daughter heard and came...she got him to roll over off his arm, and helped him sit up on his bottom.  She was facing him and wrapped her arms around under his armpits, and physically picked him up to where he could get his legs under him...after she got him up I was pushing from behind...

Then she was able to help him get steady on his feet.  Both these falls he was using his walker.  I am amazed he did not hurt himself on it.  I do not know how she did it, she is NOT big...not tall...but she does work out most days.  Her job requires that she stays fit.  

Otherwise, he slept through the night a night or two ago, the first time in years.  He is not up as much at night either.  a lot of nights only one time...but sometimes two.

That is about it for now.  I will try to do a post now and then....
