So much going on

Summer just flew by and now I am back at school as a school nurse. I still work in my hair salon a few eve. and some Sat.
   My mom has really had a rough year, she broke her hip in Feb. we found out in May that she has Nash non alcoholic fatty liver disease, chirrosis, and is having symptoms from that. Then two weeks ago she fell and broke her ankle in two places. She has had two surgeries on her ankle and will require another surgery. Last week when they got her up for therapy, she told the therapist she couldn't stand on her other leg, that is the one she had a broken hip and a broken femur 3 years ago. When she stood it cracked. They are hoping with a brace that that leg heals.She has been in the hospital over 2 weeks, we are hoping sometime next week that she will be transferred to rehab.
Please pray for my mom, it is so hard working when all of this is going on.
 But I did want to show you a photo of some heirloom sunflowers that a wonderful friend Trish from
Arizona had sent me in the spring. She used to have a blog but doesn't anymore. We have remained friends and I cherish her friendship.
 I also want to show you my new bedroom quilt and curtains. It is amazing how something new can
make a person feel so good. Wishing everyone a beautiful Labor Day Weekend.

Beautiful Country Wedding

Yesterday my niece got married at our Farmhouse in WV, it was a simple country wedding, but so beautiful.
 It is so peaceful at the farmhouse and such a beautiful place for a wedding.
I will share some photo's.
  They also had a bluegrass band there, so it was a perfect day. Enjoyed seeing
family and friends and celebrating with Angel and Austin on their special day.

Wonderful Trip

Me and two of my sisters went to Lancaster, Pa. last week for two days. We had so much fun
and packed in as much fun as we could in those two days. We did a lot of driving in the country, ate lots of  Pa. Dutch cooking, did some shopping and went to see a play "Josiah for President", which was awesome and I recommend highly if you are in that area.
 I was driving so my one sister was taking pictures, so I don't have any pictures of the amish. She
is supposed to send them to me.
  But I will share a few photo's from our trip that I have.
 First I will show some of the goodies that I purchased.

Summer Vacation

Last week my family and I went on vacation at the Outer Banks, in NC. We had such a fun time
as a family. I love the beauty of the beach and love seafood but am not a big beach person, who can lay on the beach all day. So I brought along a book and some needle work. It was so nice to relax and
just enjoy being with family. And the grand kids sure had fun. Except my granddaughter Riley had
swimmers ear and had to make two trips to the ER. I will share some photo's and  also one of the projects that I finished.

Good Ole Summertime

I am really enjoying my summer. I was able to take an apron applique class at a local quilt shop. I enjoyed it so much. I am always wanting to learn new things.
 I love flowers and have some beautiful sunflowers, my stargazer lilies are also blooming
and do they smell yummy. I will share some pictures of them.
Hope you are having a beautiful Summer.
