The Start of my Blog.....

I am starting this blog to keep in touch with the children, grandchildren and ggrandchildren. I was an only child who always said I would take whatever was delivered to me. I had four children who are now entering their 40s. After my first husband died in 1997, I remarried a man who loves children and accepted all of mine as his. He even considers the children his first wife had after they divorced as his and loves them all.
I am a quilter and had made many quilts prior to having an aneurism in March 2007. They said mine was the same kind of aneurism that Sharon Stone had. I had to learn to walk, talk, etc. again. After 2 months of rehab, I lost my oldest daughter who left me her five (5) children between the ages of 11 and 18. We have adopted the youngest son, Joey, who is now 13. We also have the 15 year old, Zoe.
As though 2 teenagers are not enough, we have taken the responsibility of 2 of Ron's grandsons, Eric and Justin - 15 and 16. Eric is playing junior varsity football and Zoe is in the high school band. Eric, Justin and Zoe are all in the 10th grade and Joey is in the 8th grade. Joey is on the yearbook staff this year and very involved in the UIL program.
A few years back, I sorta set a personal goal to make each grandchild a quilt. I have giving that goal up as I just do not think I can do that but will try by making more quilts and they can fight over them.
