Thankful Thursday

I am thankful that I got my daughter's quilt finished last week.  She chose the fabrics, chose the pattern, together we made the top, and I pin-basted and quilted it. We made the top in May, and I started the pin-basting and quilting some time after she left.

Then Roger had his stroke August 2 and I did not get to quilt any on it for at least 3 months...and then only a line or two here and there.  And that was machine quilting.

I am thankful that I took Roger to the strip pits yesterday and let him try driving...he did okay there.  Not ready for a busy city by any means...

And I am so very thankful that my older daughter now lives about 3½ hours away.

I am linking to Michelle's Thankful Thursday.

My first time for Share Your World....

I have been meaning to join Cee's Share Your World for quite some time.  She supplies the questions and we supply the answers.  So here goes.

Do you sleep with your sheets tucked in or out?
I have the ends tucked in but no where else.  Unless I am really cold, I hardly have any covers on me, or maybe just the sheet.


Have you stolen a street sign before?
No, and don't think I know anyone that has.


Do you cut out coupons but then never use them?
Sometimes, but mainly because I cannot find that particular item...or sometimes I forget that I have the coupon.


Do you have freckles?
Yes, and lots of them.




Optional Bonus question:  What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?
I was so grateful that Roger and I were able to get some things done in our yard.  Things that had been praying on my mind.  And it made him feel so good to actually be able to accomplish something.  Also, he is not down to going to speech therapy only twice a month.  I am looking forward to more sunshine this week!   

This & that

I don't think I have shown these...I took them back in January.  The only reason I can think of for not showing them is because I think they could be a lot better.  Still, they are not half bad.

 So that is my photo offering for this post.

Here are a couple offerings from my daughter....

 She is heading east on the interstate...

I totally love the above shot...love skies like this.

Today has been such a good day in so many ways.  Older daughter is transferring to a town just a few hours drive time from us.  That is just simply wonderful.  The photos are from her drive heading this way...
 
Then, Roger has worked in the yard a lot this afternoon...and he feels so good when he accomplishes something.  It was shirtsleeve weather...he wore shorts and no-sleeved t-shirt.  Felt so good to sit outside and just enjoy sitting there when we took a break...
