My thoughts and PRAYERS for our quilting friends who have been hit with the hurricane. I am there with you inj any way we can. My heart is there...... wish there was more we could do to help. A warm quilt to wrap around for support....A note to all the qb folks... you are so thoughtful in our challenges , losses, struggles we are all faced with. God bless.

Got this on the ornament swap thread today and don't know if it was posted here so copied it and will put it on so all of you can read:

Girls I just did some texting with Krystyna this afternoon, right now she has no place to put things, may I suggest you all make a little place in a drawer or a box and put things in it that you wuold like her to have. FQ's, Ornaments things like that and as soon as they have someplace semi-permanet or permanet we can send them, possibly one of us can collect them all... I really don't think it's a great idea to send things now, cards yes, she can read those and put in an envelope if she wants to keep them... Most of you don't realize what it's like... I didn't go through it totally but was in a Hurricane when I first moved to Florida, I'm still afraid of the wind... 2 doors down from us the water was up 3 foot in thier house,, We were blessed we stayed dry... I cooked and fed and helped people with wash etc... John went and helped rebuild a neighbor's whold downstairs he didn't have insurance... I reall consider all those people who lived close by lucky as they were alive a
nd did have an upstairs to sleep in and were able to get rebuilt in no time, very little mold etc... Where Krystyna and other friends are, they aren't so lucky,,, maybe lucky to have a place to sleep and water to drink and food to eat but not much else... Save the fancy things for when things are better for her... bright cards and lots of smilely faces on them... Lot of love can be tucked in a card... She knows you care....

Hugs and GodBless
Rosemary

Jaba Thanks for reposting this, hope we can get this out to everyone so Krystyna doesn't have to worry where to put things right now, she has enough problems with trying to get her home rebuilt and insurance companies etc... Prayers and cards right now are what she needs... God Bless Rosemary

Came across this while cleaning out some of my folders:


There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. So, love the people who treat you right. Think good thoughts for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of LIFE...Getting back up is LIVING...

YESTERDAY is already a memory. TOMORROW is only a vision. TODAY, well lived, makes EVERY yesterday a memory of happiness and EVERY tomorrow a vision of hope! Don't let ANYTHING get to you today! It's ONLY life..live it like nobody is watching!

Thanks for posting that again Rosemary, I think we all could use it, I know I certainly could! My FIL who lives with us had a small stroke on Thurs. (he's 88) he's doing pretty good, got out of the hospital on Fri. night. We still don't know the results of all the tests yet. Hope to get to all the docs today to find something out. Prayers will be very much appreciated!

Got my SP name, Thank you Lori! Hope to pick up the one thing she really wanted today while I'm out! She lives North of me! Everyone be blessed today!
