Thanks to all of your well wishes on my birthday - I
was amazed how many of you remembered! We made a glorious 3 day weekend
of celebrating the day since Monday was Columbus Day.
I
really wanted to stay home this weekend since we have hardly spent time
at home lately. The weather was absolutely excellent - beautiful
Indian summer days that add to the celebration each year. We had planned
to go to my parents' home for dinner but as I stepped out of the house I
seriously twisted my ankle...got in the car anyway but then the pain
was too much to deal with so we turned around after just a few miles on
the highway... spent Sunday at home too with my foot elevated ... BUT I
didn't mind because I had finally started a sampler that has been in my
stash for years! Initially, this sampler, though intriguing,
intimidated me a bit... now I find myself looking forward to the
challenge ahead! My plan had been to post things on my birthday in the
evening but that changed; then I planned to post about my progress to
date this weekend but that too will have to wait... we got a call from
the doctor this morning and head back to Florida tomorrow instead of the
latter part of next week as planned. I will take this project, along
with the Hardanger tablecloth with me but I suspect that our time will
be spent differently this time...things do not look good with my
father-in-law's health.
Plans this year seem to be elusive in our lives ... rolling with the punches is a better description of our life lately.
Here
are just a few pictures showing some of the colors of Fall in New England
- the colors are not as brilliant this year because of the dry summer
and we are not yet at peak color - maybe by this upcoming week but Fall
in New England is quite special every year.

Beautiful colours Napur - we do not get colours like that where I am :-). Do hope you ankle heals well. It is hard when the older generation is not well and you are having to travel frequently and unexpectedly.
Blessings
