How thoughtful and kind of you to spend such special time caring for and being with your brother!

Yes, let’s talk. I have references!

The time I spent with my brother was a real blessing for me. 

So school has been going fairly smoothly so far. First exam is next Thursday. I have started a new Bible Study, gotten back into horseback riding, and picked up an extra double at work. That and some lunches with friends is keeping me fairly busy. :) It's nice to get re-acquainted with people and re-attach...I missed my friends so much those years away. I'm a bit of a homebody, but I also enjoy people :) Since i"m not having very many migraines (only 2-4/mo), I have more time/energy to spend on things ,too! 

Today I got invisalign, too. So something new to try! :) LOL!!!! Wish me luck!

I know you are probably tired of hearing of my Dumbo baby quilt and Lizzie woes but...  I just have to share...  

I'm having fun!  Since DH helped me get Lizzie's new belt on and at the right tension it is a joy to go work on her even for just 15 minutes.  Now that I don't have to fuss and fiddle with her I can just go work on her for a bit.  

I'm still learning new things all the time and today's learnings were:

(1)  Don't roll the quilt so the take up rail *with it's Red Snapper bump* ends up right against the machine bed.  Causes the machine to really struggle to move beneath the take up rail!  And,

(2)  Keep your fingers away from the needle at all times!!!  Dang!  Outside of Pinky on the left hand had the needle go completely through.  Went in between where the nail bed and flesh meet.  Not quite sure how I did that but I was trying to hold the edge of the top to stitch down.  I think I'll use basting spray tomorrow!!!  LOL

Ouch! Are you up to date on your tetanus shot?

Maybe I should get Cathy and Patty to help!  

We will be right there!

Are his classes taught in French?  Is he fluent?  Christine did a year in Caan, but her major was French.  She sure was fluent when she came home.
