Rite of Passage

Got my eyes tested this week - my next check up will be in 2 yrs and thereafter, annually. A significant milestone said the optician....ha ha, so funny.

Getting older is weird, you still feel much the same inside your head but the body has forgotten how to work properly..............however, there are fringe benefits, oh, yes...................still with me?
I am going to be a grandma!! Woo hoooooooooo and I will be married to a grandad - how did that happen??

This was my very first quilt, made for Jenny - now I get to make one (or two........) for her baby..oooh, which fabrics, which pattern, such choices, what fun!!




Off to have a nanny nap...............

    OK, I probably shouldn't ask but what is the 60th birthday present that the NHS sends out?

  10. THAT IS WONDERFUL!!! Now don't go and finish that baby's quilt before I finish my granddaughter's quilt. If you do, my granddaughter will be a year old before she gets hers!!!

  14. Congratulations on the grandbaby, and I know what you mean about aging. I still can't believe that I can now say, 'Forty years ago I was ..."! Where does the time go, and how did it go by so fast?
