11th July. Raels got my name right, but it said that I was from the USA, in fact I live in the UK. My troubles started last September when we had to have our Border Collie put down.Then

4 months ago today, my husband passed away suddenly. My
sons and their families have been having me stay with them from time to time, then on my birthday I developed Shingles, around
my right eye, which is slowly getting better. I have got a project
to do, a quilt for my grand-daughter, but at the moment I can't seem to get into it, but the time will come, and then I will put the finished result up on Cute. Thank you all for your greetings,
I wish I had felt well enough on the actual day to have a look at them, but as they say, better late than never! Many thanks, Pat

Oh Pat, I am so sorry for the loss of Ron - you have to be heart broken, as well as your border collie, I can imagine that your stay with each of of your sons was good for all of you. I do hope that your health is improving. The quilt will get done - when you can work on it - we await the time to view it, of coarse. I will be praying for you dear one. *4U

Hi Pat, was aware that I had not seen a posting from you in ages. I am very sorry to hear about your husband. Life sounds a bit awful for you having shingles as well. I hope that it has not been too bad. Take care as it can come back - though I hope it doesnot as its ghastly. I had it a few summers ago.
Take care C

Pat, I've missed you! I am so very sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what that must be like and quite frankly I don't want to try and imagine. I'm glad your mind is working toward a project and eventually you will get the "bug" to sew. Until then hugs to you and looking forward to seeing your project.;)
