Starting a New life

Hey,

Wow what a month February has been for me. I want to let you all know the store is officially closed, emptied, keys turned in, over and done. The website is also shut off along with my old email address.

I need to say a big "Thank You" to Georgette and Bill for helping in moving things out quickly and never hesitating to come to my rescue when I asked for help.

A very special Thank You to Cara and Tim who did a lot of driving; running up and down stairs; going back and forth from the store to my house, without there hard work and support I could not have done it, they worked so hard and did not stop until we were all done. They helped push me along and kept me focused and moving forward. I don't think I tell them enough how much I love them both.

To Frank and Bob who worked very hard making sure the store was completely empty. They helped by taking a lot of it home with them too. I hope there wives were OK with it all. The took down, dismantled and kept things moving forward. They also did the driving and delivering of the last items in the end. They were there in the beginning to help me get set up and were there at our sides to help me shut down too. Larry and I are very blessed to have such good friends in our lives.

Larry and I could not have done it without every ones help. Today is the start of a new life for us both. To be home today has been great, I got to do some house cleaning today and I have a complete home cooked meal in the oven. I must say it sure smells good too. I even got to turn on the television and watch some of my shows I had taped. Who knew, to sit during the day and just relax and take life slow.

As I have said before, Life is short, live life it to its fullest, shoot for the moon, expand your horizons, Treat each day as if it were your last. Live, Love and Laugh out Loud each and every day, for every day is a gift!

Quilters' Compass Website

Hello One and All,

What a busy two weeks it has been.

The shop is almost empty and I am almost free and clear to move forward. It is a good thing for me. I feel and know this is the right thing for me to do right now.

I want you all to know that I am shutting down the Quilters' Compass website today. I will no longer have my old email address either. Those who know me will know where I live and how to reach me.

I have to say it again, it has been a pleasure to know you all. You have all touched my heart in so many ways. I know I will continue seeing and or hearing from you in the future.

I am all signed up to start my classes in March. I cannot imagine me having to study again after all these years. I just love a new challenge.

Be happy for Larry and I, we have so much to look forward to in our future.

If I were a Cat...

Good Morning,

If I were a cat I would be curled up asleep and purring loudly.

I just got back from spending time with three of the most important women in my life. They are amazing ladies. They are smart, warm, reliable, loving, giving, supportive and we always there for each other. My sister Susan, my Daughter Cara and I surprised my sister Nancy for her Birthday. It was truly a surprise to her, we whisked her away to be surrounded with female companionship for several days. What a treat for us all. I will cherish those days in Virginia Beach for a long time. I already cannot wait till her visit up here in March.

Back to some real business. I will be clearing out the shop this week. I hope to be almost done by the end of this week end. It is time to end this and really move on. I feel like a new woman, ready to take on the world.

I am off right now to see my wonderful clients. I am looking forward to helping them and making there life easier in any way I can. I have many ideas and will work towards helping them in any way I can.

I am planning on taking my entrance test for school tomorrow and signing up for the next available session to start school. Pat a student again, this ought to be interesting.

As I left Virginia and was flying home I reflected on those who support me, who love me, who encourage me and stand by me. I thank you all and love you all.

I am off to work now.

Have a wonderful day, cherish each moment you have on earth. Take the time to go out of your way and make just one person smile or say a kind word to a special person or even a complete stranger. Do a kind deed, it will make you feel good.

Life is good, I am alive and well and ready to conquer the world.
