Mayflower (MA State Flower)

Good afternoon! I thought it was about time I posted on my blog. This is a piece I've been working on for about a month. My kind of piece small but detailed. I think I need to get more ink for my printer though as it says I'm out and I see each scan I do is lighter then the one before.

It's been an eventful month. My brother totaled his car and he was the one that took me everyone. He's not getting another one. His son is taking us some places and a friend of Tim's is taking him other places or he's taking the bus. So far I've been able to get rides when I need them. Like to the Church, Food Pantry and Cat Shelter. Tomorrow Heaven Can Wait and us are having a booth at a craft fair in Fruitport. I'll be working at it noon to 4. They say it's a big fund raiser for us.

Speaking of the Cat Shelter as expected August has proven to be a fairly slow month. People are taking last minute vacations, going camping one last time getting kids ready for school so they don't think about getting cats. Although our kittens are getting adopted. I fostered a kitten for 5 days in July. He showed up at a lady's down the hall and she couldn't keep it asked me for help. So I called our Director and she said we could take him if I fostered him. So I did and I named him Smog. He's a real cute gray kitten. Anyways Smog quit eating on me and I totally went bonkers. Finally someone at the shelter told me to get ahold of Janie (our director). Janie came and got him Sunday and he wouldn't eat for her so she got him in to the Vet on Tues. He was teething, had swollen gums, diarhea and a fever. So they took care of eat, and by the weekend he was eating and very happily playing with the other kittens she was fostering and the cats. She's keeping him until he's ready to be neutered or until we can get him in. It should be fairly soon.

My niece and her husband made a huge announcement. They are adopting a 15 year old from South America. He was one of those that came up illegally and got sent back to the orphanage. He spent a couple nights with them but he stayed with friends of theirs and they did things together. My niece and her husband took in over 60 children . Most were reunited with their families after a week or two, a couple others stayed longer. Right now they are taking a break from it and just enjoying their own 4 children. It's a long process but probably next summer they will be going to South America, living there 4 to 6 weeks then bring the boy home.

I don't know if I mentioned it earlier but my brother in law was diagnosed with a terminal illness earlier this year then had a heart attack a week later. So it's been a roller coaster ride as sometimes it looked good for him to get a new liver (especially since he never smoked, or drank or did drugs), and other times it didn't. This past Monday he was finally strong enough for them to put a stent in his heart and they found a second blockage so put another one in today. After that if all goes well, they will be able to evaluate him in 6 months for a liver transplant. Let's pray it all goes well. He is in end stage of the disease but he can live a while yet. They can now proceed with tests on his liver. It was a circle they couldn't do anything with his heart because of his liver, they couldn't do anything with his liver because of his heart. Finally they said it's now or never, while the disease had progressed, Ken is feeling stronger. So hopefully it will be an uphill climb from here on out.

Well, until next time, Happy Stitching!
