UBC

My blog may be short today. I am slightly depressed. Ray had his back done today and he said it was horribley painful. The doctor put a needle with steroids into his spine to relieve the pain form his back that affects his legs. Our dear friends Bob and Buzz picked us up at noon and spent theday with us waiting for the doctor to get around to Ray. However I think we were fortunate that he was no cancelled. Bob and Buzz were wonderful , they had such patience while we sat in the waiting room. Buzz showed me her  IPod, hers is not really an I Pod but something sort of the same. We played a bit of Solitaire on it. Interesting item to take with you rather than a book.
After we got home I made Ray a sandwich  as he had not eaten all day. It was then I sort of realized I could have lost him during that process and I knew it would be so awful to be without him.

Then I read Richard's blog and that made me terribly sad. He is my child, I know what the future holds for him. I cannot help him , it is heartbreaking. I love him so much , I am his mother and am useless to him. This is such a dreadful tragedy. I want so badly to give him hope but there is no hope. I will love him into the next world where we will meet again God willing. I love all my boys with a passion and am grateful that the other four are all in good health.

That is the cause of my depression. Usually I am a very happy person so hope that tomorrow I will be back to normal.

This one was called Castle. I knew it as a Double Friendship Star. I am sure it has many other names as well. But it is bright and cheerful and brightens up my day.

 

I found this photo of antique thimbles. I have one antique thimble :))  Thimbles used to be so decorative and attractive. I love the carvings on some of them. I wonder about that very tall thimble, its owner must have had very long, long fingers.

 

More thimbles ,just the right size for little mousies to rest in.

 

A barn owl on a fence post, broad daylight. On one of our trips across Canada we saw a Snowy Owl sitting on a fence beside the road. Great experience.

 

Pale but pretty. I like this quilt, think 2 1/2 inch square pieces  and a bit smaller for the white bits.

There folks that is all for tonight. My heart is still hurting.

Have a lovely evening.
