Its been a long time

I know its been forever, but I just haven't felt like I had anything to say...

And I got tired of feeling like I had to read blogs everyday...which left very little time for my own personal things that I enjoy doing such as quilting and reading...

Then baseball season started. T played freshman and JV, there was a game every single night. And double headers on weekends. Then summer ball, games 2 nights a week and double headers on weekends...again, not much time.

We have finally settled into a routine and school starts in 2 weeks. Rich, T and I go bike riding almost every night, 6 miles a night. Its wonderful! I feel wonderful. Then my gall bladder had to come out and that all went down the drain.

They didn't even take my gall bladder, they just did a liver biopsy bc I have cirrohsis (sp) of liver. Common for someone with my heart history. Great, tell my general surgeon that who I have other issues with now! And I do believe I am filled with fluid and can't get it out!! Drs. in the am is my plan. Then to work! I miss my little kiddos!!

But on a good note, I have had more time to read and more time to quilt. I am ALMOST done with Crazy mom's quilt along and I love it! I think I am on week 10. Its going smoothly and I am enjoying it! Can't wait to get to feeling better to finish it up!!

And I have been reading up a storm. Tomorrow night is the local book club and we read "Loving Frank" about Frank Lloyd Wright. It was good, I gave it 4 stars. I then read "Girl in Translation" by Jean Kwok. Very good, about a young lady who struggles to make a life for herself and her mother in America after moving here from Hong Kong. This one is getting 5 stars. Now I am reading "The Lost Girls", a nonfiction of 3 friends who leave their demanding lives in NYC to travel. Seems pretty good sofar, but I just started.

Look for me periodically...I may show up every now and then!

I was in a round robin a few years back where one of the quilter's used hand dyed fabrics and wanted a Frank Lloyd Wright theme. The quilt was gorgeous and fun to work on. Glad to see you are back.

It's my first visit to this blog, but I'm loving it very much! I also enjoy doing such as quilting and reading. That's why I need to find the right place where I will be able to buy a cheap paper in Finance!
