Thanks Mum

Today my friend Joy Morgan shares this flag with us.

"I just finished this Prayer flag. It's called Thanks Mum. It's to send thanks to my mum for giving me my love of stitch, be it with needle, needles or hook. I've heard it's best if Prayer flags fly from the highest point (to carry the prayer in the wind) so mine is flying from my attic window which is also my stitching space.
Quite unintentionally my Prayer flag ended up the shape of the little pinnies/aprons my mum often wore. So Thanks mum." Joy

Mahalo

Sonja Louise Hagemann with a new flag for thank you.

She writes: "Mahalo is a word for Thank You.it is a one word prayer of being grateful and aware of all beauty around you."

Thanks

Happy Thanksgiving. I am a day late (and probably a dollar short) but it I've been busy between the turkey and the stuffing and the trip to the ER with my neighbors.

We were planning on turkey for 15 when Jane, my 92-year-old neighbor telephoned.  Rome, her 94-year-old husband,  a retired lieutenant colonel, veteran of WWII, had had a episode of gastrointestinal bleeding.  We called the ambulance and she and I followed in my car.

Two days later he is in the intensive care unit of a large teaching hospital but acting spunking and silly with the nursing staff despite continued bleeding, transfusions and acute renal failure.

I am thankful for Rome and Jane. They have served as our surrogate parents (and we as there surrogate children) for 17 years. We love them and they love us... and isn't that what true friends are all about.

Wish us luck in the days ahead!
