On Monday we had all four seasons in one day. It was pretty nuts, actually. We had rain, sunshine, a temperature of 65 degrees that then went to 31, and to top it off, we had snow. (Not much, just a coating, but seriously?)
It’s still nuts here. My nephew has been staying with us because his wife (hopefully soon to be ex) is seriously batshit crazy. I love a good soap opera. I do not, however, wish to star in one. I’m about to Reva Shayne myself right off the bridge, as my niece said. (We’re going together, she doesn’t want to be in the soap opera anymore either.) I can’t say more about this because it’s still ongoing, but trust me, it’s absurd and juicy. (Soon, Grasshoppers!)
Also, the Bear is still dealing with health issues. More on that later as well. I don’t feel comfortable discussing details yet, but prayers are appreciated. And the amazing thing is this – prayers are being answered on a daily basis here. Seriously, it’s like we ask, and two days later, our prayers are answered. And not just for us, but for friends who are undergoing some things as well.
I was given a bunch of fabric printed with all the Marvel cartoon characters. By a bunch, I mean like 10 one yard pieces. What to do, what to do? Welp, my bonus grandson is a huge Spiderman fan, and knows all the other characters, so – a quilt top has been sewn for him. This did not use all the fabric so, a great great nephew, who happens to be the same age as the bonus grandson, and also loves the Marvel characters, is going to be the recipient of a quilt as well. (My mother would slap me, these are not hand quilted and according to her, they are merely blankets. I tend to agree, but I no longer have the desire to do much hand quilting, I’d rather something be done so I can move on to the next project.)
Not much else is going on here. (Thank goodness!) I’m currently watching Season 4 of The Lincoln Lawyer, I love that series. (Netflix) Currently reading The Secret Scripture, which is a beautifully written and incredibly slow novel and I hate to admit that I’m skimming the last 75 pages because i’m just done with it. Next up will be something either really deep or really mindless. I’m never sure which road I’ll take when choosing my next book. 🙂 It will either be Huck Finn, since I’ve been wanting to reread that since I read James, or Witness by Whittaker Chambers. We shall see.
Also reading Numbers mixed with a bit of Proverbs. My niece talked me into a Filament Bible (it didn’t take much convincing) and I’m enjoying the extras that come with the app. Check it out, pretty cool.
A handmade gift by any name is still a meaningful gift to those of us who don’t share your talent! And looking forward to hearing more gossip of drama and trauma!

I’m looking forward to no longer being a participant in the drama! My family thrives on it, I don’t – one of the bonuses of moving away from them has been that I hear about it but no one expects me to join in. This was brought to my door. I have to get involved when my nieces and nephews are hurt and come to me, there’s not choice.
