Happy Mother's day to each and every mother out there, and to all those who nurture anyone (or anything)...you are mothering too! I was so fortunate to have the best mother in the world. She was an exceedingly strong woman, both physically and mentally. She could go out and toss haybales with the strongest of the men, even though she was not very big. But she could dress up and look like a million bucks too. She was a fiercely proud mother of her children, and would defend us to the end. She passed away when I was 12 years old, and all these years later, the loss is still fresh and in my mind. I am so glad she is in heaven, with no pain and no problems at all! She taught me how to quilt, and she was absolutely a wonder at putting scraps together to make a beautiful whole. She could make something lovely out of absolutely nothing!
Other news: I am now a mother-in-law! Our DS got married one week ago in a grand ceremony, and he is off on his dream honeymoon to the Caribbean. Fun! Hope they are having the time of their lives! Pictures to come...above is a picture of his groomsmen at the wedding rehearsal dinner.

So....now I will hopefully have time to get back into some quilting fun. I have missed seeing your projects and lives, and can't wait to dive back in!! As soon as the real wedding pictures come in, I will post some.

Gratitudes:
A wonderful church service, then special lunch out with dear husband.
New shoes!
A nap...mmmmm.....
Riding bikes: 10 miles today!
A day with nothing urgent to be done.

Congratulations on a happy wedding and I can't wait to see the photos. How nice that even though you lost your mom at such a young age, she taught you as skill that remains with you to this day. That is a part of her that will stay with you forever.
