Among other things, we shopped for fleece that was intended as a gift. Once I found this fabric, I had to have it (the end of bolt was barely sufficient to make the blanket.) I love the bright colors (it has periwinkle ! ) and geometric design. The back is lime green. I was reluctant to give it up. Then I discovered the intended recipient had already received more than 2 blankets already, so I kept it.
These three are less than enthused that I kept it myself - they each thought it should be theirs. Note the "please Mom" look from our son in the middle. Even the family dog wanted to claim it.
While giving my nephew a break from my kids (they tend to overwhelm him - imagine that), we went roller skating. This is the second time skating in a month. I learned first hand why my children always request the roller blades rather than the traditional 4 wheel skates. Blades are way easier!!!
I've discovered that some friends go salsa dancing every friday night. Hmm. Maybe that will be our next "thing". Who would have guessed that 2 years post cancer diagnosis, I would be skating, dancing, quilting, losing weight, and living a more active life than I had in the previous 10 years?
I was worried breast cancer was a "death sentence". Instead it's an invitation for living!
