Sorry it has been so long since my last blog entry! Things have been crazy! As usual I have placed too many things on my plate!! Mike is gone hunting for 2 weeks, one week has past, so I have been busy sewing, quilting, and helping friends with new projects!
Our Dear friend Chris was here for the long holiday weekend, so we had what she calls "Sandy's Sewing School". It was a lot of fun, very relaxed and healing. You see, Our dear friend and her fiance' Steve past away in January. It was horrific for all of us to loose him, there is not a day goes by that I don't think about him. Chris is still dealing with her loss, and so we talked about Steve and all the wonderful things he did.
He past away in "Pig Camp", that is what the men in our lives did every January, they packed up the toy haulers with all their precious hunting gear, great food, and prepared for making more great MEMORIES!! Except this time the memories will not be so great! Mike and Steve had been friends since they were little boys. Mike said he cannot recall not knowing Steve. So his last memories of Steve are one of doing cpr and trying to save his dear friend's life.
So Chris, Mike and I drove to "pig camp" to see the memorial that a group of us placed in his honor! I hope it helped her in some small way, to know that he was an important part of our family, and will be missed dearly!
I saw a sign that read" Friends are the Family that we Choose" This is how we felt about Steve and Kathy! Kathy was Steve's wife, she past way a few years ago, way too soon! And that is how I feel about all of my dear Friends! You are the Family that I choose! I am grateful to have all of you in my life. Thank you for having me in yours!
