Lady

Oct 1998 - Aug 2009

Lady was my first beagle. She was a wonderful momma dog. She loved puppies and thought they were all hers. She even raised one litter of grand babies when her daughter suddenly died. Her favorite treat was bacon. She loved hunting and tracking but couldn't do much because of bad allergic reactions to poison ivy. She thought it was marvelous to go out with us target shooting. She also was very good with children and loved to play with them as long as they understood which toys were hers. She loved to get her nails clipped and get baths and ride in the car. We went to a many of yard sales and she always knew the beany squirrels were for her.

Part 1 : CATCHING UP

On March 9th I had a day sleep study. Actually they don't let you sleep. It consisted of what is suppose to be five intervals of 40 mins that you sit don't wiggle giggle, sing, talk, move or do anything that would help you stay awake with 2 hour break time in between that you can do anything to stay awake. Of course during the 2 hour periods I quilted...no problem there. However those 40 minutes didn't exist not for me any way. I lasted less than 10 minutes on all but one. The nasty mean thing about it was once you go to sleep for more than 30 secs they wake you up. So I stayed extremely tired all day. So now I am trying a new medicine to see if I can stay awake during the day. So far so good.

On March 10th I had bladder surgery. It has been followed with 2 UTI infections, kidney stones and self cath. No fun! The verdict is still out on if it was worth doing the surgery.

Now for the fun stuff:

This is the table runner I made for my Secret Sister, Mel.

Next is my Weird Ugly Challenge Quilt.

Not that it is either. I think is very pretty.

I gifted it to my Secret Pal, Bobbi.

Pooh Baby Quilt
