My FIL is back home. He has chosen to take no treatment for his cancers. Hospice is involved and will come twice a week. As of last night, my DH's younger brother is also in the hospital (he has COPD as well). They think he may have a clot. He's been completely confused about everything lately, calling my SIL one night at midnight to tell her it was snowing, thinking it was 9 a.m. (how would you look out at midnight and think it was 9 in the morning?). So, my DH is a mental mess himself as are his sisters. This winter has been bad on all fronts.


Edited to add left out word...guess I'm a mess, too, eh?

/hugs. Hope you have peace and dignity with the choices as you can.

Thank God for hospice. We brought Dad home 3 days ago, and he is happier here with his bird feeders and his cat. He is a little mortified about having his daughters take care of his personal needs, but we tell him we're just glad to be able to spend a little more time with him.

Hospice is wonderful. Enjoy every moment you can.

We think the brother is vying for attention by calling 911. Doctors couldn't find anything wrong with him. He's one of those people, just like his own late mother, who has some real heatlh problems, most self inflicted, but plays them up, tries to add to them, and wants everyone to feel sorry for him and fawn over him. God forbid he isn't getting all the sympathy right now. He needs to shutup and let his father die in peace and take care of himself so his father doesn't have to be saddled with that worry for the remainder of his days as well as his own mortality.

Staying busy here. Besides finishing the pen division, making this table topper. Finished a runner and a crocheted shawl within the last week as well. This is the first one I think I'd call contemporary, but I did see one of those huge barn quilts in a photo with this particular block, called God's Eye.

Speckled its a mixed blessing that you are having now, saying goodby while keeping yourself focused, its hard.

Thats a beautiful piece you show here, very impressive. It strongly reminds me of many Irish Celtic designs I see in some books. I like it. How big is it?

Peace, and blessings to you and yours.

Good luck on having patience with the brother, my inclination would be a round house flat hand, to get his atteention before I told him what the bear did in the buckwheat.

But then, I'm a romantic.

I love that area, are you near Bear Mtn?

Mutt that is great that he can be with those he loves, including the birds and his cat. Two interests that I share with him , the bird feeder is a constant day long show. And our cats are all family. I put bird feed out also near the chicken pens, including cracked corn for the doves and occasional deer.
