Friday Finish

 Can you believe July is almost over.

It's been almost 4 months since I retired.

A few weeks ago, I called my former boss

to see what she was up to.

She answered her phone with a hello

in the form of a question.

I said hello back and asked 

her how things were going.

She responded "it is you!"

I said well who do you think it was?

She responded by saying she thought

she forgot to change my office phone.

We both laughed.

5 of my co-workers have left

the bank since I retired.

Good people tired of what is going on.

She did not blame them.

She even said I got out at the right time.

I know I did.

Well now that I went off on that tangent,

here is my finish for this month.

Jeny Brimer.

I stitched this in honor of my grandfathers.

I placed it up on my heritage wall.

Well that go me thinking about something

I recently purchased at an antique store.

I measured....and yep it would fit.

So first I put up Mary Jane Kerr.

This one was stitched with 

my grandmother's names.

So now both my grandparents are up on the wall.

This was the piece I purchased.

It is a tin candle holder from the

mid 1700's.

I may move up the piece below a bit now...

but am loving this wall.

To replace Mary Jane Kerr,

I added Margaret Beattie to 

the top of my cabinet for now.

I cannot believe I started this

heritage wall journey back in 2023.

I still have more I want to stitch....

and the good news is now that I 

re-arranged all of the furniture,

I have 2 more walls now.

Yippee

In other news,

we placed mom in Hospice now.

She was moved back to her apartment

on Tuesday via ambulance.

She will be monitored by the staff

every 2 hours, while the nurse will

visit daily.

She will be given soft food to eat...

and whatever she wants to drink.

However it will need to be in moderation

so she does not aspirate.

I wont be visiting her today,

but will go see her tomorrow.

I so appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers

as my family goes through 

this very difficult time.

You all are the BEST!

Friday Blessings To All!
