The wedding is 18 days away. I have my dress, my hair's been colored. I need shoes, a manicure and a pedicure. Keri needs underwear so my friend can alter her dress. Last night I laid in bed imagining my baby boy saying wedding vows. It's tough. I can still see his baby curls in my mind, all the times he snuggled up on my lap. He was always a small child, so he was able to do that until he was around 12. Now I barely get a hug.
I like Alicia. I'm going to make the best of it-I will not be alienated from my son and any grandbabies that may come. I just miss my baby.
I just realized this morning that I'm going away the day after tomorrow! Dang-where did the time go? I've got a supply list to fill and I have to pack. No pressure..........
Mike and I went upstate to a friend's home on Friday. She just upgraded her machine from a shortarm to a Premier Plus. I love her studio-it's compact, but with space for everything. She's been quilting for customers for 14 years, and put her 2 boys through college with it. I am in awe of all she does.
Well, time to get going. The king size quilt on the machine won't quilt itself.

I relate to your nostalgia. When my third son married and moved out I cried. The other two were more matter-of-fact and I don't remember the heart-tugging that #3 son caused. Then once he was gone and I had adjusted I felt OK. But when they drove off I felt my heart sink just a little.
i found you again! yeah for me! :oP
it's been good to catch up with you, but am so sorry to hear about your health. you hang in there!

I'm sure it would be hard when your baby gets married. Make sure you keep thinking of it as a positive milestone in his life, and you are adding a new daughter. How was your class?
