Joy, You are like visiting a dear friend. I think your humor and uplifting spirit is just what our world needs.

Prayers for your friends hubby. When you loose the love of your life that grief stays with you rest of your life. Love them while you got your love.

Prayers for Phyllie and her husband.

Sending prayers to Philly and her husband. 🙏 All your new outfits look awesome. The new fabric is very nice. And you just make your tops the length you like they all look amazing on you! Enjoy your trip and have fun.

Your physical response to the "duck phone ring" and your embroidery - made my day! Love YOU Joy!

Joy, Please give Philly our love and let her know that many of us are praying for Roger. May the Lord bless them, keep them and shine His face upon them, and give them peace.

A tip for stay adhesive, after you're done using it, hold it upside down in the trash can and spray a little out until the can just sprays the propellant gas. You should also remove the spray nozzle and clean it out with warm water and soap. I hope that helps.... I'm sorry to hear about your friend. I'll be praying and sending good energy her way.

How do you get past the loss of a husband…you do it one second at a time. You remember that even if you don’t understand, all things work together for the greater good. You rely on the truth of that faith statement. You remain truly grateful for ever second you had together. You don’t ask, “why me?” because no one on this plane of existence gets to stay here forever. And sometime in the process you realize that God has a plan and we live in His time, not my time and you learn that the best way to honor your loved one is to continue to live your best life possible until the Lord calls you home. How do I know this? I’ve lived it for more than a decade. I miss him mightily, love and cherish him still and trust that God knows what He’s doing.

Well said. It has been nearly 9 years since I lost my husband. I thought after we had lost our daughter a few years before that the worst had happened. No, it hadn’t. However, my God is faithful and one second at a time I have survived. I have times grief takes me out behind the knees but less often now.

I am so sorry for you both. You sound like strong women of faith. The hard part I think about is not only losing the love of my life, but having to deal with all the issues that happen because of it. God provided so miraculously for us when we cared for my Mother, and I know He will help each of us when that time comes.

Oh so very sorry to hear about philly’s husband. Sending prayers for both of them. Yeah sometimes this aging thing really sucks. I had a bit of a rough weekend. I had been feeling fantastic & then out of nowhere I had hip & thigh pain. I could hardly get around. Well I was keeping it pretty much under control with Tylenol, icy hot,& heating pad. Well then out of nowhere I was just feeling really bad. I was feeling weak all over & just completely drained and no appetite. I have to say I was feeling a bit depressed & down in the dumps. I’m feeling a bit better the extreme fatigue & weakness has gone and I was able to get out for a quick errand yesterday. My hip & thigh are slowly getting better but still just slowly getting back into things. So no this aging sometimes isn’t easy. So when it is kick up your heels & dance!

When my husband was close to dying he knew he was going very soon and was so very peaceful and happy. I was happy for him but not so much for me. Our God is so gracious and patient with us because a couple of weeks afterwards I was hurting and started to get mad. I told God that I was mad at Him and my husband. I told God that I was glad that man was in heaven but he sure didn’t have to be so blasted excited about it! As I said, He knows and understands. Praying for your friends.

Your UPS battery needs replacing that’s why it’s going off. I like the quilt. Good choice of thread color for sand and waves. The pink floral top is a good length on you. It brings out your feminine figure. I’m glad you decided to go with a lighter hair color. A dark color makes the skin look paler. Hope Philly’s husband isn’t in the hospital long.

If you clean the area with alcohol to prepare the plastic, the vinyl will stick better. Also, when peeling the tape off, it is best if you peel the transfer tape on top of itself - do not lift it or pull it up, but roll it back. Another tip is to burnish the backside of the design as well as the top to get the adhesive to stick to the tape. You are so fun to watch so keep it up!

I love the pink floral top. It looks very nice; very dressy with the black pants. My sister lost her husband one year ago. He was a retired pharmacist. They owned a drug store and he worked until he was in his late 70s. My sister still works full time at a school, in special education. She plans on working a few more years. She doesn't like being at home.

The quilting on your sailboat quilt turned out really well, Joy. I like your text message alert; you definitely notice when a text comes in. And it makes you laugh. What's wrong about that?

Maybe you can use the white knit to make another top but instead of embroidery on it you could use the heat transfer vinyl and just iron a design on it. I struggle embroidering on knit all the time. Love the heart and chicken designs.
