Yes - Sunday was definitely the day of rest for me. I got up late and have washed the same load of laundry 3 times - I started it on Friday and it never got it into the drier - I am doing that next!! But that is about all I have done today.
I have had some visitors - the nurse earlier today and my next door neighbour. The house always looks at its worst when someone drops by - oh well - they should know me by now and I have learned that having a tidy house is not a defining factor of who you are!! :)
It was a very nice visit with my neighbour Barb - got caught up to date with all of her grandchildren and she also brought me a gift from her sister, it is a quilt, made by volunteers, for people with cancer. I am thrilled to have it, but it brings home the message that I am one of those people with cancer!!
I wanted to give you a bit more information about the organization that makes these quilts.
"Victoria's Quilts was established in memory of Victoria Ann Morrison who was a cancer patient and a quilt lover. She made over 100 "Love Quilts" in her short lifetime. She spoke of being cold during her chemotherapy treatments. With her in mind and after much thought and prayer Victoria's Quilts Canada was founded in 1998 with Gods love. This ministry from the Lord is accepted with a humble heart."
Along with the quilt came a card signed by all the makers and instructions for washing etc. Quite the thing don't you think?
So I am passing along the information to those of you who might be interested in some way .....
My Quilt came from the ladies at the Lindsay Branch
