One horizontal rag quilt...
The quilt backed in denim
with 2 pieces appliqued
on the back. One is a bib
picked out by the dad and
the pocket of the robe that
the mom wore in the
hospital after having the boy.
I am sooo tired, Dillard's. Payless,
Joann's, JCPenny, Sports Authority,
Olive Garden and a few other places,
plus the baptisms this morning
make for a good, but busy day.

Chase had his post-op appointment
with the ENT today. His hearing test
showed great improvement. It's not
perfect but he is out of hearing aid
range. The retraction of his eardrum
has improved some but we need
another 6 months to see if it will
continue to heal or if there may be
permnant retraction. So for now
I am happy to report that we have
averted diaster. So now we wait
another 6 months and pray that
the tube in his left ear stays put.
That will buy us the time we need
to see if Chase's hearing continues
to improve and if the retraction
continues to improve.
I am soooo grateful....

Here is Chase in Kindergarten,
the first year he played
Coach Pitch. Well this
is the last year that he'll play
in the minors. I love this time
of year. We'll spend at least
4 nights a week, at either practices
or games. They are so fun to
watch.
Can't believe how much he's
grown since this picture.
Practice starts tonight...

Went for a walk this evening,
which I should do every evening, but
you know how it is you let things get
in the way or find an excuse not to go
or have something much more fun to
do. (Then you see a picture of yourself
and think WOW how did that happen?)
Or you get things ready to sew or
clean or sort the laundry with every
intention of really getting it all done,
but once again something much
more interesting came up. Or your
sweet little boy wants to hear stories
of his quilt or from your childhood.
Then you think back to conversations
you've had lately and lists you've
made of things to do, get done...
And you realize you're tired of playing
the nice one, of saying and doing
the right thing. Of treading ever so
lightly on others feelings who could
care less about your feelings and only
contact you when they need some
thing. I'm tired of sneaky, suspicious
people, who can't take reality and life.
Especially the life they chose.
I'm so grateful I have
a great family and great neighbors.
I'm grateful my life is full and
satisfying and doesn't center on my
next trip to the drive thru for a
diet soda or when the kids are gonna
take a nap or when the hubby is
gonna get home. I'm grateful Nate
likes to come home and does quickly
after work. I am so grateful he is
learning how to do the laundry my
way and that he even does the dishes
and that he helps hold my little
friends that come to play
with me each day.
Just needed to get that off my chest.
Feel better now...off to watch the
Good Wife after I tackle the laundry
and bathroom.

I was chatting with a dear
friend of mine tonight. Someone
that we both know had passed away
and with her living in Utah I was
pretty sure that she didn't know.
Mary and I went to school
together, cruised main when we first
got our licenses in new trucks of
our dad's. We played a ton of
Volleyball, Basketball and Softball
together. We had a lot of fun together.
She told me tonight that in July
of this year she was baptized. I was
pleasantly surprised but as a kid
had always told my parents that she
would make a good mormon. How funny
is that, that years later she now
belongs to the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints. Not sure why but
I'm pretty happy about that.
Next Saturday, I have been blessed
with the opportunity to speak about
the Holy Ghost at the Baptism of 2
of the boys in our primary class. As
usual I'm nervous and have been
thinking about what I will say. I just love
being a part of these sweet little spirits
baptisms. One of the boys has asked
Nate to Confirm him a member of the
Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter Day saints. How awesome
and what a great blessing is that?
Well off to sew and see if I can't
keep this great feeling of happiness
with me, despite the news of another
loss of a member of our community.
