Good morning,

I just did a quick read of the forums, and now will quickly post and then I HAVE to get back to sewing for the craft exchange.Have I mentioned how I hate to be late, and this project may be really close to the wire.

DH and I had a great trip back for his sister's 50th wedding anniversary party. Their 4 kids put a lot of thought, time, effort and love into that party. DH and I also got to visit with his other sister and her family and children and grandchildren, my 81 yr old dear cousin, my sister-in-law, and a lot of DH's aunts and cousins. On the way home, we stayed overnight in Paducah, KY (arrived near midnight, and was up and at Hancock's of Paducah (huge fabric store) by 9 a.m. Stayed there for several hours and my fabric stash is bigger now. Then we stopped at Crossville, TN at a quilt shop there and added to my fabric stash again. Arrived home on Monday, early evening, unpacked, started the laundry, etc. Tuesday - DH went to work, and Wed. DH had his carpal tunnel surgery (he had his left hand done last year, and finally got around to the right hand). He is doing great. He started moving his fingers right after surgery, and when he went to PT on Friday, he already had normal range of motion. This coming Thursday he goes to the orthopedist for his knee. Should be an interesting visit.

Enough rambling. My sewing machine is calling.

Take care
