A trip to the San Diego Zoo by way of Kelly's and Trebor's one year. Many visits to Western Festivals in Kanab, UT, and Scottsdale, AZ. The anniversary trip from Hoover Dam to Yuma, CA. A visit to the Shaker Village in Franklin, TN. The vacation with my sister and brother-in-law to the 'Shawshank Redemption prison in Mansfield, OH. Seeing the solar eclipse for the second time in Cottontown, TN. Visiting family at the Voorheis reunion in Reynoldsville, NY. Quilt store visits any time we went anywhere. Lake Havasu City, AZ, Zip lining for the first time in Cave City, KY. Local parks with visiting family, and in our own home we had fun! The only picture I found of Kelly was when we went to the PowWow in Fredonia, AZ one year. Of course, I only was able to get her from the back, sorry Kelly! I couldn't find any pictures of Trebor and I know we had some, but all my searching didn't give me the results I wanted. Sorry, Treb!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">Love you, Beautiful!</div></div></div><br /></div><div>Until we meet again!</div><div><br /></div><br />Coyote Quiltshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06730626160682647454noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1687838459559954984.post-26511858094160378012022-12-24T08:00:00.012-06:002022-12-24T08:00:00.184-06:00Happy 100th Birthday, Mom!<div style="text-align: center;">It is so amazing to me to realize that my Mother would have been 100 years old today!</div><div><div style="text-align: center;"> After reviewing my last few birthday posts I realized that I started them all off the same way! </div><div style="text-align: center;">What can I say?

My very favorite one of Carl was taken on one of our trips to Niagara Falls, NY. I think it was taken the first year Kelly, Trebor and Spencer came out to spend the summer with us. What is surprising about it is he is clean shaven in this one. For most of our 32 years together he had either a moustache or beard and moustache so clean shaven was rare. I carried this one in my wallet for several years and that is where I found it when cleaning.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcc5mgWV9ZwqnSgCOMhBP-Qol0rHuA4q2GOBUfNg2rcSvv44UxbMqbYEmsCRq2waTvMHOWPH4yMdXEg9HOMWk44L2s_n9yMJSwj2WsQ0QpePZrAkKz20ICZ585JtCVE45jJVUX_Mu1PoJx3m3U5DmgXSijiXjGnTmgrHoJIZnWq6ABYWoSd46lIL5oCA/s574/carl%20at%20falls.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="574" data-original-width="350" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcc5mgWV9ZwqnSgCOMhBP-Qol0rHuA4q2GOBUfNg2rcSvv44UxbMqbYEmsCRq2waTvMHOWPH4yMdXEg9HOMWk44L2s_n9yMJSwj2WsQ0QpePZrAkKz20ICZ585JtCVE45jJVUX_Mu1PoJx3m3U5DmgXSijiXjGnTmgrHoJIZnWq6ABYWoSd46lIL5oCA/s320/carl%20at%20falls.jpeg" width="195" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;"><span style="color: #201f1e; font-family: Segoe UI, Segoe UI Web (West European), Segoe UI, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Roboto, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14.6667px;">Great treasures with great memories!</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Happy Quilting, Sharon </div></div><div><div>Permanent "Quilting the Kaye Wood Way" Certified Instructor since 2013 <div>'Grand Ruler' instructor for Marti Michell since 2019

No inside visits until May and then they were short-lived with the doors closing again to visitors in August. Then the day that completely changed life for me was August 28. That was the day I received a call from the facility that Carl had started his next life with Heavenly Father.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The 32 years that I had with Carl were filled with ups and downs just like every other relationship but I think the ups came out on top. He supported me in anything I wanted to do and loved to be included in all things but enjoyed my quilting the most. He had a great eye for color and often helped pick out the fabric while shopping and of course, he picked out the colors of my favorite quilt. He often joked with others when telling about our vacations that they were 'quiltcations' instead of 'vacations'. I am glad he is no longer in pain, but boy do I miss him! I have no idea where this picture was taken but it was one of his better ones in these last years.</div><div><br /></div><div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjc7eR8NwHUvehP42OoVJ0DeR9wcPtKhyJhwxOrRiO_QSupIxIY88aY1vbh3hvbThT-uDj623GxPaclNAMJLb8uRe1akdGSGhRdMhAwjfpZ71Bld8VRPJSD5dZVmC2syJUHmZvsidgJz_XUw5qtwxXQBYfxNYA7ho5mSM6d_yV-pt8YGw0t5JcuSEEUzg=s4032" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjc7eR8NwHUvehP42OoVJ0DeR9wcPtKhyJhwxOrRiO_QSupIxIY88aY1vbh3hvbThT-uDj623GxPaclNAMJLb8uRe1akdGSGhRdMhAwjfpZ71Bld8VRPJSD5dZVmC2syJUHmZvsidgJz_XUw5qtwxXQBYfxNYA7ho5mSM6d_yV-pt8YGw0t5JcuSEEUzg=s320" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">'Till we meet again, </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">Love you, Sharon </span></div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>Coyote Quiltshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06730626160682647454noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1687838459559954984.post-39789157259690006932021-12-24T09:23:00.002-06:002022-01-01T09:57:52.309-06:00Happy 99th Birthday, Mom!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjzf5rGW7sEAanKUATZ9bPVoOSfhEuX7DYVclgfxC_PyPwc9lq1XQjTwlRDWynmRd-Fer_nbvi89-GRahSwxCPonqXsEj3VlbjM1lFac4_COJ5WnW1Q1J5-9DqP7islE8YhUVwwBWV79AMVoYEyCJ813UXvF-NaSzmBW0kilLOHC0lnR1qNd2UxbQQo1Q=s289" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="289" data-original-width="289" height="289" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjzf5rGW7sEAanKUATZ9bPVoOSfhEuX7DYVclgfxC_PyPwc9lq1XQjTwlRDWynmRd-Fer_nbvi89-GRahSwxCPonqXsEj3VlbjM1lFac4_COJ5WnW1Q1J5-9DqP7islE8YhUVwwBWV79AMVoYEyCJ813UXvF-NaSzmBW0kilLOHC0lnR1qNd2UxbQQo1Q" width="289" /></a></div><br />It is amazing to me that this is your 99th birthday! I wonder what you would have thought of all the technology that has been developed since you left us 35 years ago. I know you would have loved the internet especially Facebook and other social media platforms and the cell phones! I can just about hear the conversations we would have had to keep things straight for you. Also, I will never forget your favorite saying when you couldn't remember a word or two: get me the thingamabob on the whatchamacallit.... Yep that was always good. Mom, I haven't gotten that bad yet but I'm close. LOL! Yeah, mom that means laugh out loud, another thing that would have boggled your mind!<div><br /></div><div>Love you!</div><div>Sharon</div>Coyote Quiltshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06730626160682647454noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1687838459559954984.post-85898116423514317632021-08-28T22:11:00.002-06:002022-01-01T10:55:21.354-06:00New path to travel<div>Today I saw Carl for the last time on this earth. It is one of the toughest days of late. The past 18 months have been one adjustment after another. The journey to this day started way back in 2012 almost exactly to the date of his first episode that turned out to be a precursor to his stroke. </div><div><br /></div><div>I was working at IMS Allergy and Immunology in Goodyear, AZ and he was doing his visits to clients for Hospice of the Valley out of the Sun City, AZ office. Of course he was in his favorite town of Wickenburg, AZ which happened to be about 50 miles away from me. He called me and was slurring his words then hung up on me. Panic mode! Called him back and found out he was DRIVING! At least he was still in the town of Wickenburg. I convinced him to park the car and I would call the ambulance. That took some doing because he really couldn't understand what to do and he had a hard time knowing where to go. Finally he pulled into one of the shopping malls just north of town and was able to tell me where he was. Next hurtle was getting the squad to the right area of the parking lot. He was facing one business but that business was at the other end of the strip mall about 6 store fronts from him and of course he was parked waaaaay out in the lot. It took them a few minutes and several calls for them to locate him. So then it was off to the ER. Of course everything had calmed down for Carl by the time the paramedics reached him and they found nothing to indicate what had happened. They kept him overnight and sent him home with a few new medications. </div><div><br /></div><div>Then the fun began. He just wasn't himself and neither of us could figure out what needed to be done. He started having an upset stomach and couldn't keep anything down. He started hallucinating and complained of a headache. So on Labor Day September 3, 2012, I again had the ambulance come. This time he was seeing lizards (large ones) crawling across the floor and had another episode of slurred speech and was weak. The next battle was to convince the doctor that there was something organic wrong, that it wasn't just a 'mental disease' due to his hallucinations. He was dehydrated and he wasn't getting any IVs because they kept stopping it for tests. Finally, after a couple days I pitched a fit and told the doctor that he needed to find out what was wrong! As a lot of you know me you can imagine my fit! So finally they did an MRI and lo and behold they found something! He had a complete blockage in one of his arteries off the carotid. He showed none of the normal stroke or CVA symptoms. No weakness on either side of his body, no deviated tongue when he stuck it out, no headache, no eyelid drooping..... just dizziness, comprehension difficulty, double vision, and hallucinations. So when the neurosurgeon came in while I was there he showed me Carl's MRI. He shook his head and said, "I don't think even with a complete life style change things will get better." and in so many words didn't feel he would live more than 3 weeks. So I prepared to walk this path I am on now 9 years ago.</div><div><br /></div><div>We move from El Mirage, AZ to Cottontown, TN to be with my daughter, Julie Williams and family. The path slowly gets harder to navigate. 3 years ago he has 2 noticeable TIA's which the medical profession could not corroborate and because he did not have any complaints other than being tired. He was still able to go and do things but if I went into a store he may stay in the car type things. Then in December of 2019 he starts having neck pain and is uncomfortable laying in bed. He has a disc in his neck that needs to be removed and vertebra that needs to be fused and an enlarged prostate. So in February he goes and has his neck taken care of. The pain is gone, but he still isn't comfortable sleeping in bed so he sleeps in the recliner but doesn't recline it. This in turn makes his sleep apnea worse because his head is tilted forward while he is trying to sleep. He tried the Bi-Pap machine for about 9 months and was never able to sleep with it. So we just had him using an oxygen concentrator which helped a little. During that time he had surgery on his neck and he is doing less and less as far as exercise and he ends up in the hospital. I think it was because he fell. So in March of 2020 we start the hospital, rehab, home and falling again routine. Of course all of the rehab is done in nursing homes here and they aren't working diligently on rehab.... The first rehab visit started the day before all facilities closed their doors to outside visitors because of the pandemic so basically he was on his own. Because of this, we try home health care with PT here at the house. That worked for a few weeks but again he fell and off to the hospital. They sent him home and the first visit from home health the nurse wants him to go back to the hospital because he isn't doing well. He can't even stand up with help with a walker at this point. So off to the hospital again then into another facility under the guise of rehab and again widow visits only. This facility sends him back and forth to the hospital several times for various reasons, a fall or bladder infection were the most common. Then in August, he tested positive for COVID. Off to the hospital for evaluation and then the choice was 2 nursing homes that had a dedicated COVID unit. As physically run down as he was he showed no signs or symptoms of COVID. One facility was close the other a drive so we go with the closer one. They were good to him while he was in that unit. Of course I couldn't go inside and talked with different family members if I met them while he was in that part of the facility. I was really unhappy with the last facility and it was a 45 minute drive one way to go see him so it wasn't difficult decision to have him stay where he was. So now we start with visits to the wound clinic because he was delivered to the COVID unit with a spot that broke open while he was there. So at least I could see and touch him during those visits. Then those visits stopped in October because the facility wanted to do telecom visits but they were a great big fail. At this point I am getting sick of being called, honey, darling and sweetie and not getting answers when I ask questions. I also realize that the members of this facility don't have the same knowledge, ability or communication skills in nursing that I do so I am in frustration mode as well as freezing my butt off outside in the weather with window visits and still talking on the phone with Carl. It was a good thing I was able to get him a phone so we could at least talk when it was to cold for me to visit. He is mostly ok with the facility as they love him as most people did that knew him and with his dementia he couldn't remember how long he had been in the facility so each day was day 1. While I continue to be frustrated with no communication and being called honey, darling, and sweetie when I ask questions and the answer is always, 'Carl is doing fine, sweetie'. I yelled at people enough that most of them started remembering that I wasn't their 'darling, sweetie, or honey'. There were a couple nurses that were good and actually answered my questions and I got along with them, but mostly the time he spent in that facility was frustrating for me. I never did meet or talk with the doctor or nurse practitioner all the time he was there. In May of 2021, they opened the doors so I could go inside to visit. At least I wasn't standing outside in the cold or rain. This only lasted until the end of July and the pandemic 'numbers' started rising again and the doors were closed. So I am again outside looking in and trying to talk on the phone with him when he had a hard time holding the phone. </div><div><br /></div><div>Then this new path I am on started on August 28th, 2021, when I received a call that Carl had passed away. I made my last visit to the facility to say goodbye to Carl before he made his trip to the funeral parlor. I had practice for over a year to get used to cooking again, get up at 6 am to feed the cats, control the TV remote, come home to a quiet house, and take trips to town without a co-pilot and now it was permanent. </div><div><br /></div><div>I am just glad that I have had the experiences in life with my career as well as some of the jobs I have had and my religious beliefs to help me get through this time. I am going to walk this new path for as long as the good Lord will allow me to. I told Carl the day before he passed that I would be alright and I intend to keep that promise to him until I meet him in the next life. </div><div><br /></div>Happy Quilting, Sharon <div>Permanent "Quilting the Kaye Wood Way" Certified Instructor since 2013</div><div>'Grand Ruler' instructor for Marti Michell since 2019

<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: medium;">The
end of 2019 is here and I can't believe how the years just fly right
on by. I can't be this old when I feel young at heart. My body tells
me every day that I may feel young at heart, the body just laughs and
laughs. LOL! </span></span></span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: medium;">I
started out the year with a daily 'diary' type book. I'm not sure
exactly when I stopped writing in it, but one day I realized I hadn't
written in it for some time. I'd have to get up off the couch to go
find the silly thing just to check and that's not happening right
now. </span></span></span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: medium;">I did
have wrist and elbow surgery in April to repair my carpal tunnel. I
planned on getting a few things done between surgeries and I managed
to accomplish most of them the 9 weeks I had off work. I was also
blessed with a new midarm quilter about the same time (which hasn't
given me a hint on what his name is, yet). Poor Mr. Stretch was
replaced with a Nolting Fun Quilter. I sure hope Mr. Stretch found a
new home and he can continue to make beautiful quilts. Boy, it was
hard not to play with my new machine when one hand was wrapped up in
gauze and tape. I have since quilted several quilts on it and LOVE my
equalizer stitch regulator! The next new thing I want to master is
pantographs. I also have stencils that I bought at the Paducah show
that I want to get good enough to use. I have a lot of things on my 'to do' list when
it comes to my new machine. </span></span></span></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: medium;">At
work I also moved from the retail side of the store to the cafe just
before my surgery. For a person that never flipped burgers as a kid I
did ok, but it is not my cup of tea. When Carl & I got together
he agreed to be the cook in the family and 'I quit'! was my motto.
So my last day for cooking all the customers that came into the store
was the 23<sup>rd</sup>. I'm sure I won't be missing the rat race.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: medium;">In
July Kaye Wood passed away suddenly. It still doesn't seem real at
times. I just had a Facebook chat with her not long before this
happened. I cherish the memories I have of her while learning her
quilting techniques during classes and trunk shows. She was always
laughing and doing something. She loved to travel and she once told
me she loved to go on cruises. She did 2 cruises a year, one with
family and one a quilting cruise. It would have been fun to go on a
quilting cruise, but this gal does not like water that much! I wish I
had half her energy and to be able to accomplish half of what she
accomplished in her later years. I tell people she never let any
grass grow under her feet! She is missed by many and I am one of the
many.</span></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: medium;">I
opened 2 spots in 2 consignment shops and closed 1 spot a few months
later. The shop I closed was an hour away and didn't do as well as I
had hoped. My second spot at Leola's Cottage is right in White House,
TN and is set up for me to have quilt and sewing classes. I started
out just doing classes and when they offered me a spot of my own I
snatched it up real quick. Not only do I do sewing and quilt classes,
but I have products up and am making some consigned quilts. It seems
that Kaye's 'Trees with Ease' is a very popular pattern. I am going
to sew up a couple in different fabrics to put in the shop. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: medium;">In
August Carl and I went to Atlanta, GA so I could take Marti Michell's
'Grand Ruler' quilt class. So now I am a 'Grand Ruler' instructor.
She has several different ideas on quilting that I have had to wrap
my mind around. Her quilts are beautiful and her rulers and templates
really do make lots of quilt piecing easier with less guessing. I can
see using her templates on other patterns to make them go together
easier. Now to just find the time. LOL!</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><span style="font-size: medium;">Lots
of things planned for 2020. I want to get more classes going, of
course, make more quilts, master new quilting techniques (to me) on my
Nolting, organize sewing 'stuff', straighten up the home front, and
most of all enjoy life with Carl. We never know when life is going to
change and it can in a blink of an eye.</span></span></span></div>

In 1983 at the young age of 27 my BFF was just gone.... She left 2 little boys, a husband, a brother, 2 sisters, a mother and father, and lets not forget the multitude of friends. Suddenly I didn't have someone I could call and 'discuss' things with any more. No place to go and just be me. No friend that understood my snide remarks about things in our past.<br />
<br />
Just a few short years later, in 1986, my mom joined the, 'Those that have gone before' group. The first disease just took pieces and she fought to get back to a 'life' which left her hurting every day therafter. The second disease is what finally had her joining 'the group'. For probably a year or more after she joined, 'the group' I picked up the phone to call and talk to her. Sometimes I even managed to dial a few numbers before I remembered.<br />
<br />
Then in 1994, my oldest brother joined the, 'Those that have gone before' group. Another fighter that disease took way to soon. He never got to walk his youngest daughter down the aisle, nor see all his grandkids. The many plans he had for 'later' never happened because 'later' never arrived.<br />
<br />
Another brother battled heart disease for many years and joined the, 'Those that have gone before group' in 2007. Another fighter that left behind kids, grandkids, brothers, sisters and tons of friends.<br />
<br />
In 2017 the latest member added to 'Those that have gone before' group was my oldest sister. Her battle lasted a little less then a year and at times I still can't believe I can't call and ask her stupid questions any more. Everytime I boot up my computer I have a favorite picture of her as my background screen. It's my favorite because she was really, really happy at the time and it just shows and is the reason for this post.<br />
<br />
Yes, there were others that came before these 5. 3 Aunts, 4 Uncles, 1 Great Aunt, 2 Grandmothers, a niece, and cousins. Some I was close with others not so much, but they are all part of my family and each has a special place in my heart. Some day I hope to see them all again and be able to sit around the table while we play cards, laugh and enjoy being together again.<br />
<br />
Until then I shall remember the good, bad, silly and fun times that we had before they became 'Thoses that have gone before'.<br />
<br />
Until next time,<br />
<br />

Just a few memories of the oldest sister! She started out on October 30,1941 in Genoa, NY. She was number 2 of 6 kids! Oldest brother was Norman, next in line after Loretta was Alfred (known as Joe), then Larry, Lissa and Sharon. Loretta made a lot of memories for almost 76 years with friends and family. A few of these memories are here. The older pictures I have no idea what ages or where most of them were taken.</div>

Over the years we had a lot of fun with Loretta. Her sisters wanted to celebrate her life, not her death. So today we said good morning with a cup of coffee and cake donut, then we went to see the Patsy Cline museum. She was one of her favorite singers. She loved to dance, craft, sew and most of all she loved to gab! I don't think she ever met a stranger! All the people that touched her life will miss her as much as her family does. We love and miss you, sister!</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Busy weekend! On Saturday we supported the White House, TN bowling team by eating a pancake breakfast sponsered by them. Thank you Sean Sabo! What a great start to the weekend! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then I rode to Bowling Green, KY with Julie to pick up groceries and go to Sam's Club. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Then it was time to tackle getting the house cleaned and pick up the mess I have created over the past few months. I got about 50% done moving things around when I ran out of energy.... Now there is about 75% done. At least I have things where they need to be now. The last thing I need to do is get everything all cleaned off and put away. While I've moved things around I have come across 'stuff' that needs to go down the road. Some to the trash, some to sell, and some to go to a second hand store. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">While cleaning up I have found a couple projects I want to get done. After finishing getting everything cleaned and arranged we'll see how soon I can get them done and then I shall have more 'stuff' out of the house!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Until next time, </span><br />

I didn't think I'd ever see one eclipse, never mind 2. In 2012 we saw one in Fredonia, AZ with Kelly and family. Then today we just saw another one here in White House, TN.<br />
<br />
It's really amazing the different things that change besides loosing the sun. The coolest thing is what happens to the shadows.<br />

It's sad, I think about my blog and remember how much fun I've had over the years posting things going on in my life. Then the next thought is the time it takes to think of things to share, the pictures that I want to put on that need editing, then I think of the time it all takes. That's where my energy gets up and goes, LOL!<br />
<br />
Last year in July I opened a 'shop' at TN Flea Mall in White House, TN. It is a consignment shop that has several booths for rent. I was one of the lucky ones that got in the door when they first converted from a weekend flea market to a consignment shop. Then 2 months ago I also started selling just my kitchen hanging towels at Mama's Place in Goodlettsville, TN. Both spots are great outlets for me. I have my sister making cotton dishcloths, baby afghans and lovie afghans too!<br />
<br />
I was just looking for some photos to grace this post with, but of course all my pics are on my phone. See, I haven't even taken the time to get those downloaded to my computer. I know I can post from my phone, but it is much easier to post from my computer, so my next step needs to be to download my phone pics......<br />
<br />
Tomorrow is going to be a busy day in White House, TN. We are being invaded by the hordes for the eclipse. The town has been promoting this day for months so I'm sure that it will be a lot of fun getting around town. I'm just glad that I should be home and away from the hordes. I'll let you know how that works out!<br />
<br />
Till next time,<br />

Just sitting here thinking about the things we have seen since the beginning of 2016. I know I haven't spent much time sharing our life, but I have been recording it with pictures.<br />
<br />
We started the year out with a snow storm (or 2)...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Then after the snow disappears we started seeing the wildlife. Here is a herd or rafter of turkeys walking across a corn field.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Carl and I really love to just take in the sites as we are going about our lives. Cheap and just about every where you look if you look close enough!<br />

Not long ago Carl and I went to a concert that was a 'Tribute to Kris Kristofferson'. Tonight we are waiting to see Barry Manilow. Last year we saw Loretta Lynn twice and will be taking my sister and brother-in-law to see her next month.</p>
<p dir="ltr">While waiting I'm sitting here remembering other singers and entertainers we have seen over the years. What a fun journey we have traveled over the past 27 years.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thanks Carl!</p>

There are days and weeks I don't think of her, but today being her birthday she has been on my mind alot. A couple days ago I made cookies with my grandaughters with her 'shooter' machine. My sister Lissa has had this contraption in her cupboard for years just because it was mom's and gave it to me this past summer. I had to at least  try it once! The cookies didn't taste as good as the cookies mom made, but the tradition has been passed down to another generation.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Love you. Mom!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Until next time,<br>
Happy Quilting.</p>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Julie and I were talking today about the diffences we encounter while driving between other places and here. We have found that the speed of vehicles are always 5-10 miles an hour faster than the posted speed limit every where else.... here it is 5-10 miles slower. I have also noticed that when the light first turns red it means 'go' and Julie figures that everybody wants to get away from that line of cars behind them that they created with their 5-10 miles an hour under the speed limit..... On the other hand I have found that the people around here are more generous with giving donations then anywhere else. On our counters at work we have buckets for donations and we get more money in 24 hours then I did in a week when I worked at Circle K in AZ. I'm not sure if the generosity cancels out the driving or not.....</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On our anniversary we went to see Loretta Lynn at her ranch in Hurricane Mills, TN. Then when Lissa was here in July we did the tours which were fantastic. Lissa and I spent a lot of time in the museum. This concert was a 'sister' concert with Crystal Gayle. Peggy Sue was there too, which was a nice addition. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I couldn't believe that it has been 3 months since I have been on here pestering all of you. So I decided to get everyone caught up on what is going on in my life.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">During the spring and our drives to the gym in Hendersonville we past many wild animals. One of our favorite sites are the vultures. Unlike the western vultures we saw in Arizona these bad boys are all black. They remind me of grumpy old men. In this picture they are sitting on a wooden fence waiting their turn at the deer dinner in the ditch. It was raining and the wind was blowing so they were facing away from the ditch. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Carl tried walking up the other side of the road to get a better picture, but as he got closer they took off for the trees one by one to wait until they could go back to their dinner.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We've also seen turkeys all over the place. I wanted to see the 'turkey dance' and one day on our way home from church we happened on one. We sat and watched while this gobbler danced his way across a yard. The hen was just a ways in front of him and every time she wasn't watching he would do a quick 3 step to get closer. </span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">One of the 'visits' we made this last spring was to Johnny and June Cash's grave site. Both of them have a bible verse quoted and their signatures. It was funny because Carl and I kept talking about finding different grave sites of 'famous' people and we were driving right by Johnny and June every day we went to the gym.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I'm not sure how many people know that I have a true appreciation of our American flag and everything that it represents. I have probably told this story before, but I am going to repeat it here tonight. On my very first trip across this country with my in-laws I saw my first large American flag in Oklahoma, OK. I was sitting at the table in Mom and Dad's motorhome looking out the front windows at the new to me scenery. In the distance (it is very flat in Oklahoma....) I saw something moving against the sky. At first it was just a dot that looked out of place against the blue sky so I just kept my eye on it as we traveled down the road. Then I noticed that it was blue, next it had a little red mixed in with the blue and finally I realized it was an American flag. I had never seen a flag as big as that one in my life. I have seen many large American flags since that day and I am still just as amazed so when we first moved to TN and I spotted these flags I knew I had to share them with you. I have taken many trips to the area to take several pictures of this trio, but I think these are the best. They are flying over 3 auto dealerships on Rt 31E in Hendersonville, TN. The first picture was taken from a Wal-Mart parking lot right next to the one of the dealerships. The second photo was taken several miles east of where the flags fly.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In August we traveled to New York to visit family and to go to the Voorheis' 75th family reunion. I took a picture of a picture of another family reunion many years before. Carl was just a kid in this picture. Not sure where he is, but Mom and Dad Voorheis are in the top row, right side.</span></div>

There is only 4 of us 'kids' still living and we were hoping that we would all be together with this trip, but our oldest sister, Loretta couldn't make it. So this is the 'other 3' kids, Lissa, Larry and Sharon.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I really have not been avoiding my blog, but have been having some issues with my computer and haven't wanted to spend much time on it. The weather has warmed up and we have started mowing the lawn and getting things cleaned up around here to make it easier to keep everything looking nice. With this nice weather w</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">e have also seen a lot of animals running around and I have several cute pictures to share with you when I get my computer cleaned up. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">Since I have been saving time not being on the computer I have been working on increasing my towel stock to be ready for the summer farmer's market. The <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hendersonville-Farmers-Market/105352626273179?fref=ts" target="_blank">Hendersonville Farmer's Market</a> will start on May 23rd, which happens to be our 20th wedding anniversary. As of today we are planning on spending the morning at the farmer's market then we are going to see Loretta Lynn in concert at her ranch. I'm really looking forward to that weekend.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
