MY MOM HAS MOVED

This is one of my favorite pictures of my mom. She often napped with all three dogs. As you can see, she did the adjusting to fit in the group. That is Gracie between her legs, and Charlie (who is no longer with us) at her left. and laying across her is Trudy, the terror, at 5 months. Mom is 90 and took a fall in December that left her with a broken hip. It was clear that she needed constant care and because I often travel, my brother and his wife have moved her in with them. They live in Arizona.

Here is how the room looks now. Pretty empty. I made that Garden Twist quilt for her. Robin's sister, Melinda, did the quilting. You can see more of Melinda's gorgeous work here http://melinful.blogspot.com/. My brother is coming this month to pick up Mom's furniture and that will be a very strange feeling for me, as I can almost still see Mom napping from time to time. But, I am glad she will have her furniture; I'm sure it will be more comfortable for her.

Here is Trudy, now 11 months old, and if you look carefully, you can tell she is looking ashamed. More on that another time.
