MIA

Yes it seems like I have been MIA for awhile now. It has been a hard couple of weeks. My Mother in Law, who was my mentor and friend for 41 years, passed away on January 28th. She spent several days at Hospice. It was such a shock, she was diagnosed with cancer on Monday and died on Saturday. After her death I have felt so very lost, and had no desire to be creative. Then this past Sunday I got a call from my sister and they were taking my Mom to hospital. She had a virus and had become dehydrated. She is 86 and has other medical problems also. She is home, but not recovering as fast as my sisters and I would like. In the mean time, the "bug" bit me, so I have been trying to Lysol every thing down, to keep the others in my household from getting this nasty stomach virus. Hopefully I will feel like working on a quick card or LO for Pat's challenge tonight . I also have Valentine bags to make. Now I see why all of you start months ahead on holidays, so you won't be caught empty handed if an emergency arises.

Please keep my Mother and my Mother in Law's family in your prayers.

Thanks
