Secrets from Louisiana

So glad you have stopped by for a visit. We have many secrets here in Louisiana. We are a quilters haven because of all the interesting things we have in our environment to see, smell,taste and feel. Our flowers are like perfume in the evening and the colors explode in your eyes. Our seafood is the best in the world and is bountiful from the Gulf.

The palette is non stopping.

This What Is Happening In My World

I am not working this week, trying to get everything ready for the Rally for Mardi Gras. We are dealing with an unexpected issue at the moment. My 19 year ols grandson little Hank has be diagnosed withJuvenile Angiofribroma. This is a rather large tumor in the sinus passage that is 4cm.by 3.6cm in size. This is extremely dangerous as is the brain surgery. This will be happening shortly. We are all basket cases at the moment, we so love our little premed LSU honor student. It will be performed in Baton Rouge Louisiana.Please pray for my sweet young man. The dangers are many. His name is Hank Allen Gureasko.

I will be with him as will the entire family.

A Quiet Day

Hello to all and a Happy New Year. I have been home now for 2 weeks and you would be surprised how much you can get done when you organize your activities. I have completed cleaned and sorted the house, why you ask, so I can have a lot of sewing time. I can only work 10 more days till August 1 , 2013. A stupid law that affects some retirees. It has nothing to do with social security which I don't receive. But enough of that.

We have had a wonderful Christmas Holiday and had a wonderful 2 weeks in Texas visiting with friends. The entire family was here which is all 9 of us including grand children. Spent the entire day wednesday with little 6 foot Hank , home from LSU. What a treat that was, miss him sooooooooooo much. He is 45 minutes down the road in Baton Rouge but is a pre med student and is extremely busy so we have to visit on extended holiday. I only saw Nicolas and Naomi a few times as the since their visit was short. Their quilts came out great and of course they loved them since MMP made them!

Cousin Bonnie's daddy is in the last stages of life, probably 48 hours to go, he is # 15 in a line of 17 children with only Aunt Clare and Uncle Leo going to be left. Uncle Lou is 95 years old.  We pray his soul slips easily on.

I have 2 UFO's to work on then it is a queen size for Melissa. Thats my plan and I am sticking with it!

New Years Resolution Stay with my WW program and complete it by 2014. Add some movement each day.
