Geez.....

I didn't know that it had been so long since I had posted to my blog!!! Not too much going on around here except a really sick girl. My middle daughter Kara has been very sick with strep, yuck! She never felt much better after the bout with the stomach bug and finally last Thursday I got her in to see the doctor. Strep test came back positive so she opted for a shot of penicillin because the Dr told her that would knock it quicker. Okay, well my youngest daughter Allie started with the same symptoms Thursday night, called the Dr first thing Friday and they called in a scrip for her. Kara continued to get worse over the weekend, I'm talking 102 and 103degree fevers all day and all night. She's 18 and never has been that sick or run high fevers, so Monday I called the Dr and they called in a Z-pack which I hope kicks this. So far she's still too sick to do much except move from the couch to the big chair and back. Still running fever (not as high) and her throat, well lets just say it looks awful. Allie is doing better and never did get as sick.

All of this sickness has cancelled our Thanksgiving plans, which was to go to my Mom's, but I really don't want to take the chance that everyone will catch what Kara has or visa versa. Plus I don't think she'll be up to going in the car and then being around people. So I guess we'll stay here, which is fine.

My oldest daughter, Emily came home from college Monday evening. She's here until Friday afternoon when she'll go back to Lawrence because she wants to go to the big KU/MIZZOU game on Saturday. It's amazing that she's only been away from home 3 years but the family dynamics around here are so much different. Not better or worse, just different! ;o)

Sorry this post is so wordy...let me see if I can find a pretty picture to post as I haven't been working on much except the triangles for my DJ quilt. Oh I did get all of the red chimney's appliqued to the little houses quilt. I think I may hand quilt it, which I'm not very good at, but I can try, right?

I made this quilt which is "Tag Sale" by Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. out of Moda's Seaside Rose for my friend Mary for her 60th birthday. I've since made another one of these quilts out of the Miniatures Collection in red's, blues, tans and blacks. I think I've shown a pic of that one before, but I'm not sure. I love Miss Rosie's patterns and the look that these quilts have. Very good directions!!!



Sorry this picture isn't very good!!! Well have a very Happy Thanksgiving everyone. We really do have a lot to be thankful for in our country.
