I'm baaaack ...

But just barely - I feel sorta hung over right now!

I arrived home this morning around 3:15 - my connecting flight out of Las Vegas was delayed a half hour AND it was overbooked.  The "gate-keeper" asked if two people would give up their seats in exchange for a rescheduled flight next day (today), a $300 voucher, and the cost of your ticket to be used at any time...hmmmmm.  Almost kinda tempting, but not doable for me!

When I left on my cruise, my brother in law had been in hospital with multiple symptoms for about 2 weeks; my sister didn't want to say the "C" word but it was understood he would more than likely have to go through chemo.

I was planning to finish this quilt for him, with fleece on the back to use during the chemo treatments because fleece feels really good.   Well, I called my sister soon as we docked in Seattle to check on his condition; sadly, he passed away on Friday.

Soooo.... I have to get myself rested up and prepare for a trip to New Jersey, probably leaving on Tuesday.  So you probably won't hear from me for awhile, see you when I get back again.  Have a great Sunday everyone, sew forth and sew on til later.

  13. What a sad way to end that beautiful Alaska cruise. It sounds like your trip homemade from the west coast wasn't very fun--uggh. Janet and I walked in my front door at noon on Saturday and she was home in Spokane a few hours later. I do love your flying geese quilt--I might have to try some of those as leaders & Enders.

    It was fun meeting you and Renea--maybe we will see you again on another cruise.....a friend has asked me to join her for QuiltMaker's Block Party Cruise to Alaska in June.....hhhmmmmmmm
