A Day of Sorting and Finding…..

Molly and I slept until after 9:00 AM this morning.  It was the first time in several weeks that I have slept that late for a couple of weeks.  I have been so busy preparing to close up the Maryland House and then get ready for the hurricane to come.  Those things along with the nerves of the pending storm, sleep was not easy to come by.

After coffee, Molly-time and some Internet time, I began to sort through the sewing/quilting stuff so I can have my stuff ready for the retreat.  This is harder than it sounds.  I have been bringing this stuff home in bits and drabs.  I have been putting them into smaller plastic tubs, almost by project or fabric.  I needed to get bins set up for the different sewing machines and then start sorting fabric finds by what I have planned.  I will be taking more than I will probably get to, but I may find time to do some quickie projects and want to have the materials ready.

I also am digging through the bags of non-sewing stuff and trying to find homes for things that used to reside in Maryland.  This is an emotional thing for me.  While I am content with the sale of the Maryland house, I am going through many items that are invoking memories of 20 years at Indian Acres and the 30+ years that Rudy and I shared together.

At the same time, I am reminded of all of the good things that we did together.  I feel very grateful that we were fortunate enough to have been able to enjoy those times and experiences together.  I do not know why Rudy was taken so young, but I am so blessed to have shared so much time with him.  It was a remarkable time in our lives.

More of the same, tomorrow.
