I have to tell ya....it was not pretty. In the 42 years we have been married we both have not been this sick at the same time. We think our little 12 year old house guest brought it home to us from school. She was really tired one night and then she started complaining of not being able to taste anything....that is the extent of her sickness. The not being able to taste for her lasted about a week.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Our son and his family went to see our other sons a week befor Christmas so we were on our own. Our little house guest was able to return to her family.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Thank Heavens for grocery delivery. We had all kinds of cough medicine and easy foods to eat delivered. Neither of us felt like eating and our smell and taste totally disappeared. Everything tasted like cardboard.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>My taste has not come back and all of you will be shocked that I don't really care for chocolate now....in fact, it kinda turns my stomach.

They can make their row as long or as short as they want. They can add what they want. There is a prize for the one who finishes their row first for that month.

As you know, I lost my mother, then I lost a friend of 42 years. My sweet friend was old enough to be my mother but she and her husband were the first friends we had when we were first married. She was like a grandmother to my sons. Then I lost two very very dear friends from Covid and another two church friends who died of covid. I am not telling you this for you to feel sorry for me but in the grand scheme of things, it is who you love and who you are loved by that makes the world a better place to live in.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p class="b-qt qt_153702" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #101010; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20pt; line-height: 37px; margin: 0px 0px 15px;">'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p class="bq_fq_a" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px 0px 5px; text-align: left;"><a class="qa_153702 oncl_a" href="https://www.brainyquote.com/authors/alfred-lord-tennyson-quotes" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0000aa; text-decoration-line: none;">Alfred Lord Tennyson</a></p><p class="bq_fq_a" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px 0px 5px; text-align: left;"><br /></p><p class="bq_fq_a" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px 0px 5px; text-align: left;">It is the sweet memories and wonderful examples that bring me peace and happiness.</p></div><p></p><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: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">So.....enough of that for now.</span></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/AVvXsEhAJ_XYc2X_uLT4PsOEdkEw3U5lxACXcT7f_I-1azzXYxBaPZZ0rjy5WpjY2kRlcp94uBbGaasiTLU40g7dZ0VRI70bCxHqBLVMF3zkE_xzMJkVJdtmeSI0XRDjdwOWOTaUnq5Ed1XRGnRJ/s1890/Log+Cabin+block.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1706" data-original-width="1890" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAJ_XYc2X_uLT4PsOEdkEw3U5lxACXcT7f_I-1azzXYxBaPZZ0rjy5WpjY2kRlcp94uBbGaasiTLU40g7dZ0VRI70bCxHqBLVMF3zkE_xzMJkVJdtmeSI0XRDjdwOWOTaUnq5Ed1XRGnRJ/s320/Log+Cabin+block.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I made a 12 1/2" log cabin block out of the scraps that I have been cutting up...just for fun.

<span style="font-size: large;">It seems that this blog hop could not come at a better time for most of us, when the world is going crazy around us.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So...I like making door hangings for my mother. When<b><i> <a href="https://www.moosestashquilting.com/">Joan</a>, Moose Stash Quilting, </i></b>asked me if I wanted to join, I thought what a perfect way to get motivated to do another door hanging.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I spent a few days pondering and gathering ideas, at the time it was getting close to Valentines Day.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So this is what I came up with.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<img height="320" src="https://scontent-ort2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.15752-9/84831008_600483494066364_2921406788752375808_n.jpg?_nc_cat=111&_nc_sid=b96e70&_nc_ohc=c97-Dz4KwrQAX9g_g69&_nc_ht=scontent-ort2-1.xx&oh=f2a75ffe4e5e42c4ca7dfe821411cb92&oe=5E90FBEC" width="280" /><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I used a coloring page, <a href="http://www.islandbatik.com/">Island Batik Fabrics</a>, and my embroidery machine.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It has been hanging on my mother's door for over a month now.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My mother has dementia, as I was bringing her home from the hospital the other day she had asked me if I knew which room she was in. I told her I did, she asked me if her room had been moved. I told her no. Well....when we got to her door, she smiled when she saw the door hanging and said, yes, this is my room. Something so simple to bring back a memory.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So I thought I would show you some of the other hangings I have done for her. Some of you may remember and if you are just coming by my blog, well....enjoy!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This was one of the first to grace her door, it now hangs above her bed. She laughs at this one because she truly does not do mornings, unfortunately, I think I take after her. You have to give me about 30 minutes to wake up before you talk to me.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This was one of the very first ones to hang on her door, a few of the residents threatened to steal it, so we took it off and hung it on her wall.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It has been fun hanging things on her door. There have been other wall hanging that I have made that have graced her door but these were specifically made for her with the exception of a the tree and pumpkin.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It was always fun to hear the reaction of the residents when they would see a new door hanging. I know my mother has enjoyed them and being how she is now, she enjoys them like new every day.</span></div>
