Thoughts on Recuperating

Greetings dear readers and apologies for

my absence. 

My time for recuperating is quickly ending.
My recollection of arriving here today consists
of the count down of days to surgery. 

Surgery could not have come any sooner.
As the fear of the procedure was surrmounted by
the desire to have the horrific constant pain cease.
And cease it did...instantly.  Pain gone, nausea and
insomnia commenced. The retched nausea is the worst.

Its all finally behind me.  I can now concentrate,
read for more than a few minutes, pin happily
on Pinterest and write the occasional post.

The past weekend was inspiring. 
Last Saturday, I visited the beauty parlor, first time
in nearly 90 days, where whatever you pay is cheaper
than therapy, and later walked (exercise with a
purpose) the Road to California quilt show.

It looks like pillows in rows but it is a quilt.

Modern Quilts

It's a optical illusion.  Such talented quilters.

This one reminded Mr. Lee of Phoebe Buffay's
Gladys and Glynnis paintings (Friends, Season 10,
Episode 6).   

Three of my favorites:

Check out her read frames and the daisy wheels.

This calendar was a top quilt at the 2015  QuiltCon.

And dinner after the show:

El Pescador Mexican Grill

Tasty fixings.  

February Hello

The year is moving too quickly.
The red, white and pink month
of love is upon us. 

The quilt below commemorates
the 150th anniversary of California's 
State Parks.  I recognized this location
right off, Pigeon Point Light Station,
Pescadero, California.  Just south of
where I was blessed to grow up.

Among my favorite flowers are
geraniums.

Drop seeds of kindness.

                Life is a Verb.

Why NOT Hobby Lobby

When Hobby Lobby is recommended, my
response is, "I don't shop there."

Why I won't cross the threshold to shop at
Hobby Lobby.

I am a feminist.
My definition:
Women may choose to be homemakers,
wives or not,
stay-at-home, work outside of the home,
have babies or not, be mamas or not,
career women, soldiers, warriors, voters
and chiefs of their destiny.

   









I love women.
I am the woman who never ever,
although I had plenty of opportunity,
cheated with your husband.
Because even though I didn't know
you, I loved you, because you
were another woman...a sister.

I love men.
I love gays and lesbians.
All people.

I am called to love all
my brothers and sisters.

I am pro-choice NOT
pro-abortion. 
It is not the same
thing.

I believe contraceptives were one of
the best things to come out of the
twentieth century.  

I don't believe businesses have consciences.
Nor, do I believe corporations are people.

Thank you, God,
for giving me a heart and a brain.
