God Bless Boston!


 After such a long time I promised myself I would blog today - and then awoke to devastating news as the rest of the world has heard. We have visited this beautiful city and have many happy memories and words cannot describe my feeling about this heinous act - with a sad heart I will carry on.
 My worktable with a very favourite quilt above - yes, I am still a quilter after a forced absence. I have been very unwell for many months and discovered in a critical situation, I had a necrotic gall
bladder with attachments - however, the old Lurline is back with lots of news to share in days to come. I caught up with some of my very favourite people over the weekend, lots of laughs and good times, a few, very few bubbles and retail therapy of course!
My darling grandchildren, 17 year old twins Ayesha and Bailey in front of our place ready to take off in the Hummer for their Year 12 Formal - oh, yes, I am so very proud!
 
I had great difficulty uploading/downloading this Post - well, I did suffer severely with post anaesthetic psychosis, lol - yes I did, but in actual fact I mainly use my Apple ipad these days and have forgotten or Blogger has changed. Never mind, I'll get back to showing lots of pretties and I will tell you, browsing blogs has been a blessing to me in the past few months, so I thank you all, dear friends!

So very glad to see you back. Please continue to feel better. It was a shock to wake up to the mess in Boston. My daughter usually runs in the charity section that was just finishing at the time. She was off because of an injury but has friends in the race. Of course the family was glad to know she was OK. Your picture is just darling.

I hope you are feeling better. Love the photo of the grandkids. I have a son that age, my youngest. Good to see them have a good time.

Glad to have you back!! I get caught up in the world that when I go back to my blog I can't remember my password. Need to be a little more faithful!

I am working on an Eleanor Burns quilt pattern and it has 12,000 little pieces! So tired of cutting pieces!! (12,000 may be a bit of exaggeration but there are quite a lot of pieces to cut.) I also have several things in mind for later on -- need to get busy. I will have my sewing room back by the end of the summer and I can hardly wait.
