I should check in more often. Who is making the King size quilt, Thea? Tell them it's a single comforter. They have no idea of the effort required for such things and will not appreciate your efforts.
Thanks everyone for the condolences. My other sister and I have made peace with Lori passing. Donations to charity will continue but some stuff is simply past it's 'Use by Date'. Upholstered furniture is taboo thanks to the bed bug issue. Lori's artificial leg can not be used by anyone else in the US because of stupid regulations, it's parts may be used in 3rd world countries if we pay for shipping. Right.
There is one ray of sunshine, her bike. Lori always liked bicycles but this is over the top. What was a 70 yo handicapped woman doing with a high end, 24 speed, hybrid 'comfort racer'? We found it under a thick layer of dust on her porch. I dusted it off and brought it home. I'm gonna take up bike riding again with this baby, it really goes. Hand crafted in Canada with tons of upgrades, shock absorbers in the front & under the seat, Michelin tires, you name it. I used to ride a lot but never on something like this, wow.
Here it is in the yard today after I put 10 miles on it. I'm in love.
