Hi Janiece! Youre never too old to learn/try something new! It is an easy block to piece so get going, Christmas is only 110 days away! Wishing you a blessed September and beyond! Nan

Dear Joy, thanks so much for your very kind comment. Im still trying to muddle through and its been such a hard time! Ive been very comforted by all of the wonderful words of advice and caring that people like you have shared with me. xoxo, Nan

Dear Sharon, Thanks for taking the time to send me a message; many of my readers have and its been very heart-warming for me. I so appreciate the kind words and knowing that you have enjoyed my blog, especially seeing the quilts which were always at the heart of everything. Love to you and your family, Nan

Thanks for your kind words; Ive been lucky to have great blog readers/friends who have given me a lot of support! Ill miss seeing knyttWytch in my feed, that name always made me smile. Love to you and yours, Nan

Hi Patricia, thank you so very much for taking the time to leave me a comment. Many of my readers have reached out in recent days and it has meant so much to me; their words of support and encouragement have been very comforting. Im doing okay, muddling through; blessings to you. xoxo, Nan

Hi Sandra, thank you for taking the time to comment, I so appreciate your words of encouragement and support. Thanks, too, for following along on my blog journey, Ill miss my blog friends! My blog will stay up, its my online recipe book so I have to keep it! Best of luck to you and yours and thanks again. xoxo, Nan

Anne, thank you for your comment. I have to tell you it made me laugh just a bit, out of embarrassment I suppose as some of the things I shared probably should have been kept hidden for eternity! I suppose I used my blog for a bit of therapy at times and readers like you were always very kind, and offered words of encouragement and love. Thanks again, love to you and your family.

Hi Carol! Im not over your sister moving away! First she moves from the neighborhood and then the state, and I comment whenever I see her posts that its time she moved back. Futile I know but losing another great family to Utah was hard! Thanks for reading, for your sweet comment and please talk Marie into coming back for at least a visit and you come, too! Love to you and your family, Nan.

Hi Theresa, I want to thank you for taking the time to comment; reading the comments has given me a much needed boost. The poor mister, he did take a beating over the years, but all much deserved I assure you😉 If only I could have whipped him into shape, its all about training them when theyre young and I just never knew that. That might be the only thing mom failed to teach me! Thanks again, Love to your and your family, Nan

Hi Jane, Im sorry to read about your loss, Im now very aware of all of the walking wounded there are. People like you who lost your mom or loved ones, who have figured out a way to move on with life and appear normal. I find myself thinking about my friends who have lost their moms and wondering how they did it. We were so very lucky to have the remarkable supporters we did, and you are so right, we need to pass that support on to others. I guess thats the way to move forward and be normal? Thank you so very much for your sweet comment, sending love to you and your family, Nan.

Dear Kathy, thank you for your very kind comment. My blog gave me a chance to interact with so many wonderful people over the years, and you are one of them. I so appreciate you; for reading, for commenting and for being my blog-friend. Love to you and your family, Nan

Jolene! Of course I remember you, in fact Im staring at a picture of you right now, one from 35 years ago, we are both babies!! Being a member of the Night Owls Guild will definitely go down in the highlight column of my life. I met so many wonderful women!! Thank you for reaching out, for your sweet comment and for reminding me of some wonderful memories. Love to you and your family, Nan.

Debi, my heart goes out to you, Im so sorry for your loss! For a year we have watched the news and heard about the Covid deaths, those dying in hospitals with no family around, all of the gruesome details and never once did I think it would take my mom. Its been very hard, harder than I thought, as Im sure you know. Ill pray for you, that youll receive as much love and support as I have, your comment means a lot and I thank you for that and for reading along. Love to you and your family, Nan

Li, thank yousweet friend. I talked about you to my mom over the years, she always asked about my friends. I remember telling her about your many kindnesses to us and just a few weeks ago I showed her the pictures from the candy cane hunt with little Roy, she commented that he was just adorable. Thank you for your nice comment, love to you and your family. Nan

Hi Judy, Ive been so very touched by readers like you who say they have been reading my blog/crap for years. Thank you for that and for your very sweet comment, it did my heart good! Love to you and yours, Nan

Hi Cathy, thanks so much for your very nice comment. I love what you wrote, Moms give us so many memories. Ones that carry us along and to pass along to family... So true and I am feeling those memories helping to get me through the day. Thanks for following along, love to you and yours. Nan

Rita!! Thank youmy friend! You have always been so good to me, your words have lifted me over the years and now once again! You are so right, faith and memories bring me comfort, and notes from friends, like you. Thanksso much and if youre ever out this way you must come to visit. xoxo, Nan

Thank you my dear, dear friend. Mom loved that we have stayed in touch all these years. Mom had several life-long friends and often told me how important they were to her, its nice to talk to someone who knows where the bodies are buried and who and help find locations for the next ones! Love you, Nan

Hi Dorothy, thanks for your kind words. I cant imagine how you must feel not having had a mom, I can only think of how strong you must be to have gone through life without her. Life is hard even during the best of time, just so hard! Love to you, Nan.

Hi Liz, thank you so very much. Maybe one day when the fog lifts I will post occasionally, but not for the foreseeable future. I wrote each post with mom in mind and, and before I hit publish I often had to go back and remove some things because I know I would get a phone call if I didnt 🙂 Mom was my conscience, without her to censoring me no telling what I would say! Thanks for following along and for your nice comment, love, Nan.

Thank youKathie, they are a gift! Its already been a week of highs and lows remembering things my mom said and did. I wanted to call her this morning and tell her about all the nice comments, like yours, that my blog friends have sent, she would have been so happy. Thank you so very much. Nan

ThanksSusan, You are one of the super-humans Ive thought about this past week, having gone through this with so many of your loved ones. The amount of strength it takes to move forward seems out of reach for me right now but thinking about my friends who have been through this is a huge help for me. Love you, we need to get together for mask-less-mock-tails when the craziness ends.

Paula, mom loved you, too. And how happy she would have been to know of all of your service to our family these past weeks. Thank you for loving her and for all youve done for dad and us kids. Love, Nan

ThanksBrenda, now move back already! You are missed by many, including me. Thanks for the kind words, love you, Nan
