Two blog posts in one day! But, this I had to share. This is one of the things that would have had me running into the house yelling “Honey! Look what I found!” I found a real treasure today. I was pulling some weeds and overgrown herbs, and it’s a wonder I didn’t step right on it. I saw it just in time. How precious is this?!
I sure hope this little one survives and stays around in the yard. I looked for others, but didn’t find anymore.

I’m a simple woman…at least that what my DH (Dear Husband) used to say about me…I was a wife, I am now a widow, mother, step-mother & step-grandmother, quilter, and have a full time job in criminal justice. I lost my DH on May 22nd, 2011. I live in a small town in Texas. I love piecing quilts, I love quilting quilts. I have a serious addiction to fabric. I’ve been quilting since 1998, and purchased my first longarm, a Gammill Premier, in 2004. I upgraded to an A-1 Elite, named Corky, in March, 2007. I am in the process of rebuilding my life after losing my spouse.

I hope you enjoy visiting my blog and would love to hear your comments. Thanks for stopping by!

Cute! Looks a box tortoise. Our daughter found a baby red-earred slider (water turtle) a few years back and we still see him. We call him Geronimo. I bet he makes it just fine.

Hi Randi – it’s been a while since we heard from you. I hope you are doing okay. When you’ve some time, we’d love to know if you’ve found any more turtles and if you’ve been watching this little one grow.

I’m just dropping off a note to say I was thinking of you. I hope the joy of quilting will help you through this journey to your new reality. I’ve read several books of fiction lately on quilting and for some reason I thought of you. A recurring theme in them was that quilting was a way to help weather trials and sorrow. I don’t know if I’m saying this very well; but, just know I wish you well.

I’m so sorry to read about the passing of your husband. I empathize with you, having lost mine in March, 2010. It gets better, but not the way I expected it to. I still cry, I still miss him every day. I still wish I could have my life back. It isn’t quite as sharp, now, but holding his shirt or seeing something I know he would have liked still brings the tears to my eyes. There’s always the empty spot, but there are laughs and fun, too. A different life. I hope you are finding that, too. I see that you have faith and trust in God, and that’s the most helpful thing there is.

Just wondering how you are getting on. I know you will not get ‘over it’ but has life become a little more tolerable for you?
I think about you and how you are often,
