A Year Has Passed!!!
We observed the one year anniversary of my son's death this past week. I am blown away by the kindness and attentiveness of his fellow soldiers. We ran into them at his grave in Wellston, three car loads. We heard from them on Facebook, people sent us flowers and cards and wished us well. This is the sort of thing that causes me to believe there is so much good out there in the world.
My heart is broken that six more Americans have died in Afghanistan. Life is dicey folks. Let's enjoy it while we can. Let's love one another and have lots of fun and share what we have. It is the only answer.
Jamie and I have made corrections and changes to the manuscript of Timeless Star. Today I went through the final section again and made more edits. I have to do a better job of this the next time. There are still corrections I could make in wording and we are too far into the process to do that. At least that is my opinion.
I have signed up for Techy Tuesday at my local library. Hopefully I will learn to work with pictures. I am looking forward to this and hope I am not so far gone that I can't learn to do this.
Thank goodness I am here today doing the blog. I really am trying to get some order back into my life.
See you next week.

Happy Day After Easter
April 1, 2013
I'm giving myself a special dispensation since yesterday was Easter. We had a great day. After church we had an Easter egg hunt with Kyleigh ( 6 years old) and her two , under-two cousins having their first go at an Easter egg hunt. It was such a joy to see these kids get the hang of it. Evan kept dumping his basket and having to stop to retreive all the eggs again. Tucker kept setting his basket down and leaving it behind. Oh what fun.
In the midst of it some stupid squirrel who lives in my yard grabbed a green plastic egg and took off for the tree tops. I think Jamie's sister, Harmonica, got a photo of the little bugger in the top of a tree. It was such fun. There was no quiltiing, no writing, no laudable activity of any kind.
I am getting mulch for my new back yard flower garden today or soon. Keirsten is working for Ohio Mulch and is taking care of it for me. I am ready to get outside and do spring. Lord have mercy, it has been a long winter.
Jamie and I are work on the final proofing of Timeless Star and probably will not finish that up this week. We are observiing the first anniversary of our dear Shawn's death. I still don't believe it.
Have a good week and I really am trying to keep up with the blog.
