Sorry I have been away so much lately. As I watch the snow FINALLY start to disappear in my yard, I FINALLY start to get out of my winter funk. Does this happen to anyone else? I read along and when I get to the end of the posts, I wish I had something happy or uplifting to say and this is when I don't. I don't want to put anyone else in that mood so I don't say anything at all. I have been here praying for you all every day and wishing my mood would change. I think this past week is the start....
I have made plans to go to Canada in August.....Yes, Norm and I are traveling. We are going up to meet Betty and anyone else that we can along the way. We want to travel through upstate NY and cross into Canada on the east end of Lake Ontario.
Then travel down the 401 to Toronto and then up to Betty's. When we return, we will go south and come home by the Falls and across NY state and VT. We plan to be gone for a week. I'm not sure how far away you are Dianne from Franklin but I figure we will be going through there. I've heard you mention that name.... I don't know how far away Thea is either. I would most defintely like to meet up with Debbie on the way home....Who else is in that area????
I've been on my knees every night sending special prayers for Mike and Ann, Bev and Scotty and Shirley and Tubbby. I pray for their comfort and for their strength and for peace for them and their families. It is so hard to go through. I've lost both my Mom and Dad and one husband so I know how difficult it can be. All I can tell you is that my shoulders are broad and my prayers will continue. Prayers also for Dianne and her DH as well.
I've kept myself busy this spring with quilts for my best friend and my oldest grandson. I think I showed you all the blue and white one for my friend. This is the one for Brandon...
I'm not going to try to comment on all the posts but know that I love you all and will be doing a lot better now that spring has finally arrived here......
