Thank you all for the thoughts, concerns and healing word for my friend. It is so much appreciated. I saw him today and he looked good, but appeared to be tired. It's just such a shock. He's only 5 years older than I.
On another note, my hubby got a job! he started today and is working at an awesome restaurant that we LOVE! Double goodness!
Peace

Cancer sucks!
Just found out a close friend of mine at work has liver cancer. He is on indefinite leave from work. Apparently, there is not much that can be done. he will be coming in on Monday for a short visit. As I am crying on the phone, he asks me if I am OK.
Why does this happen to the good people when we need them in our lives?

Bucket List
I have always had a bucket list. Waaaaay before the movie came out. I had one in high school and I graduated 30 years (gasp) ago. (Our vacation was to our reunion but that will be another post).
Anyway, 2 of the things on my list have been: 1) Make a quilt and 2) Read the Bible. I have never accomplished either. I took a quilting class with one of my BFF's but never even completed the wall hanging I started in that class. I also have 2 "Read the Bible in a Year" books and was never able to get past Genesis.
I am not a very religious person. When I do go to church I attend a Unitarian Church. Or the old country churches I grew up attending when I was a kid-when I am at home. I am more of a spiritual person. However, I feel it is important to be well rounded, especially when it comes to reading.
I finally found THE quilt I want to make. It is the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt. It has all the colors I adore and it is a Block of the Month Club. I ordered it and have received the book and my first packet. Uh, oh.......
I am not an accomplished seamstress by ANY stretch of the imagination. Just insane. But C (BFF from high school) seems to think I can do it. And if she doesn't, she's not it saying out loud.
As my Grandmother Ethel was a farmer's wife, I have decided to attempt, in conjunction with making the quilt, to read her copy of The Living Bible (Paraphrased) by Tyndale, copyright 1971.
I plan on documenting this in a Julie Powell fashion.
