Our rug hooking community here had an unexpected death and two more on their way in hospital. Not covid. I’m grieving. Grieving is especially difficult when it feels like depression which I wrestle with. ♥️
So I will post a couple spirit lifting events. My former client and now plain old friend had her 82nd birthday yesterday. Two of us brought her cake and chicken salad lunch. Here she is:
She is also deaf AND blind. A former librarian and a lover of gardening and dirty jokes. Just seeing this pic uplifts me.
On kijiji this week (our version of Craig’s List) there were two hooked rugs for $20 TOTAL.
Photos at top: Butterflies and Flowers, Horse and Buggy.
I contacted the woman right away and gave her $25. Both rugs went into the deep freeze, both underwent some repairs where strips had come out, and both are on fb marketplace now, at a modest $65 and $75.
Another lovely thing: Friday my girlfriends in my covid “bubble” are going to a country cottage an hour away to spend the weekend. Wine, walks, laughter, prayer time and tears will be part (as always!)
One of our five has a rare and aggressive form of cancer. Well, that seems to be shadowing me this week but doesn’t it shadow is every day of our lives?
Enough!
May the beauty of life sing to me and to you today!

So sorry to hear about the unexpected loss of a hooker friend. Prayers that the other two heal quickly.
Happy birthday to your former client turned friend. Wonderful you were able to celebrate.
Enjoy your getaway. It is good for the mind and soul.
Lauren said all the words much better than I could have put together. Am sure this is a tough time for you with the loss but also sure the time away will be a way to heal, laugh, cry, pray and built up more endurance for foraging on.
So sorry for your loss and the great struggle of your other friend. Try to take the time to just enjoy each other. Wonderful picture of your friend on her birthday I bet she loved the company
Cathy
Thank you. The getaway is much needed. Weird how sorrow overwhelms in waves at times.
Thank you Saundra—- we’re all needing endurance right now, aren’t we?!
Hard time
She did love the company Cathy. She’s an amazing woman who gardens from seed. An inspiring life
