RIP Mom.....

Late Friday evening we got the call from the Nursing Home that Mom was asking for us and that she had asked if this was the end...so we went over and stayed the night with her and talked, etc. Saturday evening Aunt Phyllis came back around 9 and at 9:30 pm Mom passed with the 3 of us by her side. She went peacefully and they did an excellent job of keeping her comfortable. Mom is now in a better place and no longer suffering......A big thank you for all the prayers and well wishes...they meant alot to us....

I'm still in PA....

Mom is now in a nursing home and is doing as well as can be expected. It's been a rough couple of weeks and will get rougher from now till the end. Jim and the kids made it up and it was great to see them, just wasn't long enough....I haven't done any sewing in so long and don't think I will for quite awhile yet. I did get into Joann's and Pat Catan's(craft store) and picked up a pattern, crochet hook and yarn to make some dishcloths. Will start on that sometime today. The other night as I was leaving from visiting Mom there was a nice sunset and I just happened to have my camera so here is a picture of it. We are just taking it one day at a time for now.

Why I've been MIA...

I am currently in PA helping my Aunt and Uncle take care of my Mom, she has liver cancer and the chemo wasn't working so they have stopped and Hospice has been called in. My Aunt has set up her sewing machine upstairs so I can hopefully get back to sewing this week. It is in the living room and that is where Mom spends her time. So I'll be close by. Jim was able to get up over the 4th of July weekend and it was so good to see him. I have a few blocks in progress and hope to finish them up this week. Hopefully I can get back to some sort of regular posting.....

MIA and weight report

Sorry about being MIA lately, I was up in Ohio/PA visiting my Mom who has liver cancer and seeing my Aunt and Uncle and Jim's Mom. I did not make it to Weight Watchers this past Weds so I have no idea how I did. The Weds before I left I had gained ..2 pounds. So hopefully this week I will show a loss. I am trying to get back in the groove of being home and also of being back to work. Today was first day back....wasn't too bad...it did go fast. I work tomorrow and then off Weds and Thurs. On Thurs I will take Heather to the airport and she is flying into Pittsburgh Airport and meeting up with her brother and then going to my Uncle's and over to see my Mom and other family. Mom is looking forward to seeing the kids. On the sewing front today I have cut out almost all pieces for some heart blocks I need to get made up and mailed. I will finish cutting them tonight and I also got one of the parts sewn for these blocks. For those who might be interested I have added a picture of my Mom.
