And now I am current on the thank you emails and the pictures and the postings for the Remembering Our Civil War Winnie comfort quilt for Tom and his family. Well, current until the mail arrives later today that is.

You are all the Best!

I've got a cold :(

oh I'm soo sick and all I want to do is sleep. I got like 12 hours last night but I want more. But dh is making too much noise with saturday "chores" for me to sleep. sigh. So here I sit reading emails and in one of them Hanne mentioned she linked my blog to her blog....now I am puzzling and puzzling over how to do this and all i come up with is a painful head. Okay, so my head was already painful, but now it is worse!

Anyone know how to do this? Link a blog to my blog? I've seen blogs with listings on the side. Do i need to change my layout set up to do this? what if everything got lost? eeek that would be horrible. All of the Winnie Blocks are on this blog and all of THEE Wedding Quilt progress is here. I think I'll wait until I figure out how to back up my blog some how so I can then test out this "linking bit"

Well the mind boggles at this thought process and I really need to take pics of the two latest blocks and post them for all to see.

Last evening, when I was trying sending thank you's to the two person's who just sent in blocks I had the horrible realisation that somehow when I posted all the pics I missed sending thank you notes to a whole day's worth of people who sent blocks for the Remembering Our Civil War Winnie quilt! Oh my! So then I went email by email through the "expected blocks" folder to see if any others had been missed. Indeed there were others. I'm so truly sorry. I messed up. So I then went email by email through the "received blocks" folder and made sure that was all in order also.

So now other than owing the posting of two blocks received on May 18th and May 19th I'm all caught up!

Perhaps after a second cup of tea?

No blocks on May 16th or 17th

There were no blocks on the 16th or 17th, probably a huge hint to catch this board back up again for everyone to see the blocks, diamonds, kites sent!

On Mother's Day, my youngest son gave me flowers! My first Mother's Day flowers ever and the first flowers he has given me. He is getting too old sigh

He also had to work that day all day long so when dh went to Home Depot he asked if I wanted to go along. To bribe me he offered me a plant. I chose this lovely Lily of the Nile to remind me of Winnie. Because the plant is so different with its snake looking flower stem and Winnie and I had a "different" friendship being via internet and phone only.
