Yesterday was the first Saturday in a while that was even close to event-less, well sort of. Nothing major happened-no kitty business; no one close passed away; it was rather nice. Hubby cooked our lunch on the grill-yum, and I picked up my new vacuum. The last vacuum I bought was a big Shop-vac some years ago. This one cost less than any of the last 3 hand-held vacs-swore I wouldn’t buy another cordless one. I am surprising pleased with it and got it especially because of kitty. More about it later after I use it again.
Sewing and quilting–
When I went back to get more of the white fabric I used to make the fan block, there was only a yard left, so I ordered more-wish I could have gotten a bolt but I blew the budget halfway through the month. I’ll pick it up this week-couldn’t bring myself to drive that far with the gas prices up so high when I pass by the store during the week.
I promise next month will not be as solemn as this month (FEBs are a bit emotional around here), but tomorrow I plan to post the biggy one that I’ve been holding on to. I am skeptical, but I want to start March with a clean slate. This somber note is fitting for the last 2 days of FEB. My mom died on this day years ago. It was hard to say goodbye but she suffered so long with so many problems. She never complained through it all-never! I am not that strong, but she served as model for so many who knew her. Though we did not always see eye to eye, I miss her so much. There was so much we never got to do together. I loved her greatly but am not sure she knew just how much.
Happy Gardening in your walk of life. May you know just how much you are loved.

I’m thinking of you today as you think about your dear mother. I believe that, of all persons in the world, our mothers always understood us and knew how much we loved them, even if they didn’t show it.

Thanks, Lillian.
