Masked, but friendly....

my beautiful oldest daughter and her adorable husband arrived bright and early Saturday morning...*VBS* Let the moving and transforming begin! I had already move and stacked(and piled) a ton of small things. Quilts and boxes of fabric, books, boxes of odds and ends, rubbermaids and shoe boxes. All the stuff that we quilters can't live without..*S* They made short work of getting the twin bed apart and out into the garage, folding the quilts, etc. DSIL vacuumed where the larger bed would go, and then they began moving that for me. I was happy with just that much, but they stayed and moved a dresser and more of the small clutter. They wanted
to do more. I said "no". The weekend is the only chance they get to do stuff that needs doing at their house and enjoy the beautiful weather. We visited a while and then I sent them on their way with lunch money to stop for a cosy lunch along the way. Home is about an hour from here, and DD's back usually needed a break about half way home. Bless her heart, she's missing the last one or two vertebra at the tailbone end of her spine. Needless to say what gets 'sore'...*VBS* She made off with one of my two sheepskins and intends to use it on the cycle when they ride.
Wish I could tell you I'm completely over the cold and yuk, but it still lingers in my lungs, which keeps me short of breath and coughing. I've gotten a little done, but not nearly as much as I had hoped. Spent part of Sunday and Monday with my friend Jean, small family crisis and she needed a shoulder and a place to lean. I was happy to do it..*VBS* Yesterday I had about a bizillion errands to run, and really hoped I would be finished. Alas, I was thwarted at every turn. Apparently I'm not paying attention to my life, because the Universe keeps tapping me on the shoulder and saying 'a, hemmmmmm...pay attention'. I think I've got it now..hopefully the rest of the week will be more peaceful and go better. Don't you just hate it when life happens while you were making other plans?????? Me too!!!
