I decided to open some gifts that I received in the mail
This beautiful topper was received from Rosemary of the knitting quilter
WOW it's gorgeous Rosemary
I LOVE IT
And some knitted slippers
Such a beautiful and thoughtful gift
Thank you thank you thank you
Then Julierose sent me some packages all labeled for fun
You made me cry
I was looking for another of these panels and you found one
My heart is full
Thank you so much Julue
You made me happy more than you'll ever know
The red truck!
You ladies know me so well
And some cute ornaments for my tree
Some fabric to play with next year
And a beautiful Christmas scarf
Thank you Barbara of wonttobequilter
And Colette of whataboutreema sent this
A beautiful bag with the red truck on it
Some um quilting snacks in chocolate
And red truck notes
What? I am not eating chocolate for breakfast
Nope
Nothing in my mouth.......... it's in my belly lol
Thank you so much for your very special gifts
I love and appreciate each and every one of you
My special quilting friends
You make quilting more fun
Love and hugs and kisses from me
Hope you all have a fabulous Christmas
I tell you my son and daughter in law have been a godsend
We almost have everything all wrapped up as far as transfers and canceled cards and all that after death stuff
I go back to work next Wed and Thurs so that's ok
Dunkin and I will find a new normal
It is very quiet and lonely
It feels like Rich is in the hospital or something again
Still a few things to deal with
Waiting on ashes and funeral home for death certificates etc
I got some jewelry to hold ashes for daughter, granddaughter and me
And a cross for son
We will have a celebration of life at sister in laws house
My brother already said the truck drivers want to be there
Us gals will cook and make some of his favorite foods
And I guarantee there will be some Budweiser toasts to him
Or blackberry brandy shots
Those were his favorites
It will be Jan 15 so if you are inclined
Say a prayer
Drink a toast
To a man who I will forever love and miss
Thanks
I am happy that the presents brought you some joy during this tough time....I will be drinking a toast on the 15th right along with you and yours to celebrate Rich's life. Hold on tight to your good memories as they will surely warm your aching heart...hugs and prayers Julierose
ReplyDeleteI was hoping you had received my package. I hope it made you smile. I made those slippers for you since you liked the baby booties so much! I hope they keep you warm! I will be having a toast on the 15th. Thinking of you and sending my love.
ReplyDeleteYou got some awesome gifts.
ReplyDeleteVery nice of your blog readers to send gifts to you. Quilters/knitters/crafters are some of the most caring, thoughtful & loving folks. Chocolate for breakfast is yummy. It's yummy anytime of day. I will be thinking of you on the 15th. Richs favorite foods and some toasts to celebrate his life with loved ones will be comforting.Take care & know you are loved. 🧵🪡🐈
