Well folks, I have resigned from Coldwell Banker United Realtors. I will miss seeing the friends that I made while working there. I will always have an interest in real estate and I will continue to renew my license every year for a while. I don’t know if I will ever go back into the business. Things will have to pick up quite a lot. Mean while I will enjoy being home, gardening, writing blogs, quilting, watercolor painting, and trying to catch up on my to do list. Bob requires more looking after now, and maybe between Dr. ‘s appointments we can travel a little from time to time.
At present I am quilting by hand a quilt top that I pieced while staying at Mother’s house when I was her care giver. I moved Mother to my house after Bob had the first stroke in December of ’09. I had lots of things to keep me busy so I put the quilt on the back burner. About 6 weeks ago I started quilting it.
Mother passed away November 29 2010. I guess the quilt top is a way to connect with Mother. She truly enjoyed the top taking shape and was very proud of the log cabin design. I feel like finishing it will be theraputic for me. I have made only one quilt many years ago so I have had to relearn the craft.(not that I was very accomplished ) With all the information on the internet I have learned a lot more than I knew before. If I ever get it finished I will take a photo and post it. After that, I know I will start another project .
