Update

Well, they have sent my grandpa to my mom's home on hospice. They are bringing in a hospital bed today; mom is busy scurrying to get the spare bedroom cleaned out of her belongings. My supervisor has given me the ok to work half a day to go help mom with the cleaning up (and entertaining grandpa). His hospice MD is someone very competent, honest, and straight forward - Anna Beck! For those of you who might remember, she was the oncologist who took care of me while I was in Utah and communicated with my MD's in California.

On a more positive note, Stephanie and I have been making a couple of lap quilts - the same fabric, but differences will be apparent. We found the same batting at the devil's market place (ie Walmart) as JoAnns has, but for about half the price per yard! We will probably be finishing both of them (minus the finishing with the binding) on Wednesday before the new year begins! They are super cute. Stephanie's mom, I think\if I'm remembering correctly, is going to let us use her brand new machine, the series 8 by Bernina, to do the quilting part. If not, I'm sure that she will do that part for us.

Speaking of which, I need to remember to get invisible thread. I might be stopping by JoAnns in Draper to get some this evening. Speaking of JoAnns again, please boycott the store in Brickyard. The new manager there is not being ethical towards the employees - unreasonable schedules, not letting them transfer to other stores, and firing people for no good reason. For another fabric store close by, there is Hancocks on 3900 South and 700 East - better costumer service and, in general, better deals and fabric quality.

If you have time, drop me an email and give me an update as to how your year is finishing out; I'd love to hear from you.
HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
