    Hello Folksies!

    Thanks to all for commiserating over the migraine. All that is left is a sore head. I believe someone mentioned it hurt to touch their hair. Yes. Exactly. It takes awhile for this to really dissapate. I used to get them far more frequently than I do now. I do believe mine are of the seasonal allergy type these days. It's been so dry here and the leaves are falling from the heat and dryness. I love autumn and looking forward to crisp mornings - but then - I remember what follows autumn and I make the sign of the cross. Oy. I am still not over last winter and I betcha all my northern sisters and brothers aren't either! I mean didn't it take until June for the last of the ice mounds to melt in Boston area?

    Must work this morning and then the rest of the week. Off to find the coffee pot. Smile today when you can. Blessings and prayers for many,

    I'm one of the fortunate ones who has never had a migraine. I hope I never do. I sympathize as I am told by many that they are sometimes unbearable. The only problem I'm having is a congested ear which is definitely allergy related. I'm standing here in what I call the "no zone." It's a corner of the kitchen that the movers aren't working on packing at the moment. The packers have been here since early this morning packing up our belongings for the trip back to the states. Not a particularly happy time for us right now. What's that saying? "This too shall pass."

    Morning Everyone,

    We had fairly heavy rain all afternoon yesterday with more possible today. Sounds like a perfect day to stay indoors.

    Blondie, glad the worst of your migraine is gone. I've never had one and hope never to do so. I think I could count the number of headaches I've had on one hand. I have other stuff to deal with...lol!

    Rebecca, have a safe trip back to the States. I'm sure it's bittersweet for both of you.

    Wishing everyone a wonderful day...with Hugs.

    Good Morning. I haven't had a migraine-like headache for many years now but I remember them. Not my happiest memories for sure. I hope you don't have another one for a long long time Blondie. I am fighting the ragweed right now. It's not too bad right now. Just a bunch of sneezing and itchy eyes. I am looking forward to fall and yes, even winter. Summer has been great; lots of beachtime, backyard time and overall lazy hazy days. But,it is time for a change and I'm looking forward to fall colors, pumpkins, and soup.

    Rebecca, {{{{hugs}}}} to you as you make this move back to the states.

    Well, time to continue with my day. I've got a load of laundry ready to go into the dryer and now the dishwasher needs to be turned on and then I'm heading upstairs to do a bit of sewing before work.

    It's going to be another hot one here today and if that's the case for you too, take things easy and stay cool. Have a wondrous Wednesday.

    Good Morning all!

    Blondie, I have only had two migraines in my life - and ended up in the ER with the first one. Youngest DD on the other hand has suffered badly from them. Missed more days of her senior year in HS than she went, but still managed to graduate with honors. That would have never happened back in the day. She has them much less frequently now, I think they are stress related most times.

    Rebecca, I know moving is a sad thing, closing the door on a part of your life - one that you obviously enjoyed immensely. Do you foresee any other overseas assignments in the future? Try to look at the bright side - you will be able to see your family here more often. Cherish the memories (and beautiful pictures you took) while you were there and in London. Will keep you in my prayers as you make this transition. (((HUGS)))

    So...off to visit my quilting buddy Deborah in a little bit. Lots of catching up to do as we haven't gotten together since early August. I need to make a label for my DGS Sawyers quilt and my printer has decided to retire, so I will use hers while there and pick up a couple of cups of Dunkin Donuts pumpkin coffee on the way - one of our favorite fall treats! I love fall - mostly because it means the brutal summer is coming to an end. And somethime in January or February we will have winter - for a day or two if we are lucky. The thing about it I don't like is that another year is slipping away. Time is flying way too quickly. So much to do before the end of November when our busy work season begins.

    Well, off to get dressed and get my things ready to go. Hope everyone has a Blessed Day and prayers being said for those in need.

    Morning all! Blondie, so glad you're on the mend. Had a few of those headaches in my life and they were brutal! I feel so bad for those who have them so often!
    Haven't been around most mornings since last week. Trip to neurologist kinda knocked me out a bit. DH probably looking at early stages of vascular dementia. We are now in for a few more tests ( MRI, EMG) before we return to the neuro doc! Some days are better than others and he seems to know things are different!!
    We had company over holiday weekend. DH's DGD flew down from NY as this is probably the last time she will see him till she enters the NY police academy in January or February. My DD and her BF arrived Sunday for a visit and took the DGD back home with them for the night as she had an early morning flight back to NY. We're an hour from the airport so that saved me being gone from home early morning. But while she was here I managed to slip out to Raleigh and order a new couch which will be here on the 16 th. really will be glad to see the old one go as it has seen better days!!!

    I'm in the finishing stages of the hash tag baby quilt but haven't gotten back up to finish it yet. Trying to get a few things done inside and out. One garden is a real mess and so I've been trying to get out there while cool in the mornings. Weeds have taken over!!!

    Post op cataract surgery went really well. Just left with daily eye drops for another 10 days. Back to eye doc on the 28 th for new glasses. Really pleased with how well the vision is right now. Sewing is so much easier when I can see!!!

    So wishing all a great day!! Fall is creeping in around the country, so hopefully it will be easier on all!

    Good Morning all.

    Made it back from FL all in one piece. We all had a great time celebrating Esther's first and Jonathan's third birthday. Next April, another little one will join that happy fray. I hope Esther will learn to talk between now and then. The 'I want it now' screams won't work with a new baby in the house.

    Came back to check on Writing.Com and found out that the owners of the sites little girl, Phoebe, has Leukemia. She's still in the hospital, so I'm headed to the fabric store to look for some pink to go with the fish fabric I bought in FL for a pillow case for her. I'll make a blue one for her older brother. It's so hard when kids have cancer. It brings back a lot of memories!

    The allergy season is upon us, that's for sure. My calendar email popped up last night... time to get my shot again. That kind of explains things for me. Hope everyone's autumnal allergies are easy to manage this year. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

    I'll be back to work on my BIL's tiger quilt. I left it sandwiched on the guest bed while we were gone. It dawned on me this morning. I'll have to get dark green thread for the back, another stop to make.

    Have a great Wednesday!

    Good morning! Blondie, I'm glad you're feeling better. I've never had a migraine and hope I never do. I had a coworker who would go into the restroom and run hot water (as hot as she could stand) over her wrists when she felt one coming on at work. She said it helped keep it from becoming a full-blown migraine.

    Rebecca, good luck with packing and moving.

    I've been awake since 2:30 this morning...4 hours sleep last night. I predict a nap will be occurring later today.

    Good morning every one. A little late on here this morning.

    Rebecca, I hoping the move goes smoothly for you.

    Les was home last night and it looks like he will be back for good (I think). His sister is back because I think that she thinks the boys can't look after mother like she can. WELL, she can stay there if she thinks she can do better. Do I sound bitter? I said to Les this morning it felt like I had another man in my bed this morning. Not used to having him here in the mornings. It is nice though.

    I got all the floors washed and the bed clothes done yesterday. I made another go of wild plum jelly but it doesn't seem to have jelled enough. Oh well, the jars sealed well. I have a little bit left over and will have a taste of that later.

    Today I would like to get into my sewing room.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Blessed are the children of the piecemakers for they shall inherit the quilts!
