in bed

A day in bed, well most of it. I have a bad cold with the consequent headache that sent me to bed and to sleep for a part of the day.

We are watching the hockey game between Chicago and Detroit.  They both have 3 games apiece so this is the final game for one of them. Both teams are wearing red one with red and white and the other a more solid red. I don't root for either team as I am not sure of either one. During the course of the season we don't get to see the Eastern teams so never develop and sense of what and who they are.  The only eastern team I root for is Pittsburgh Penguins because Sidney
Crosby who is from Cole Harbour in Nova Scotia. He is a young man who has been likened to Wayne Gretsky.  He has a beautiful game.

Dr. Henry Morganthaler has passed away today at 90 years of age.
He was an icon for women who needed to have an abortion.  He was instrumental in making the rights of women a priority. I remember when I was young having friends who had a back room abortion and died because the person performing the abortion was totally inexperienced in that discipline. sometimes it was a barber, or a hairdresser or a pharmacist , anyone who set them selves up to do the job. It was a terrible way for the women to die , huge infections and no antibiotics in that day. The alternative was social and public humiliation. Abortion was a crime in those days and a woman could be charged and jailed for such actions.

There is no Block of the Day today as the one shown was another basket block and I am getting tired of all the basket blocks being published.

I found this lovely block though and it is in Quilting.About under tulip block. This one is very pretty with the 30s delicate fabrics.

 

 

After quilting we love chocolate best LOL.

 

Get on with it sweetheart. You need to sew faster and faster like Rapunzel who had to spin straw into gold overnight for three nights.

 

Ah how sweet. And so is she!

 

this is what we were subjected to in the 40s and 50s. Ladies please behave yourselves and at all costs please your husband. Look good while cooking dinner LOL.

 

Grandpa and Rose. The little girls sure love their grandpa and he loves them too.

 

What a wonderful Victorian sewing basket.

 

Oh my another adorable bit od scenery.

 

And my last Aw Gee for tonight,  twin boys shortly after birth finding each others' hands to hold. So wonderful!

 

That's all for tonight folks.

Have a lovely evening.

Good night.
