Okay, I just finished looking at Sara's blog of the fabulous stores she found while visiting in-laws in California, and saw someone commented about her new header. So I scroll back to the top (yes, my husband is right...I'm not very observant) and see a picture of her standing in front of a PALETTE of fabric. Now I'm drooling. I think for my fiftieth birthday (I'm sure I'll have all my quilting projects done by then! haha) I need to take a fabric shop tour of the US. I've always heard that the northeastern states have wonderful quilting fabric shops, as well as the Amish communities in Pennsylvania, BUT after seeing that picture, I think California might just make it onto that list as well.
And even brighter than seeing bolts of fabric stacked in every tone, shade, hue and tint of orange, I had a surprising phone call before 10am this morning. It was MOM! She was leaving the doctor's office and was free to go home and put her foot up for 3 days. She laughingly said it might need to stay up for 3-5 months (that's when the gardening season will be over) to heal. I think she was relieved it was quick and somewhat over. They didn't do the layered procedure, but instead just scooped the mole and everything within 1/8" around it. The entire section will be sent to pathology, and we should have results from that no later than a week from today. So while I'm a little disappointed they didn't do the less invasive procedure they had said they'd do, I'm thankful they're being extra-cautious and will be able to lose the knot in my stomach once we know for sure the results. Still, a quarter size spot being removed is much different than the grapefruit size of 30 years ago.
Another bright spot of sunshine was shopping with a friend this morning. That's one thing I've enjoyed about being at home - the ability to do things with other people.
Yet another ray of sunshine this afternoon was seeing two blooms on pepper plants (we've already had a few on the tomatoes) and growth on the cucumber and watermelon vines. There may be hope for my little garden after all.
So happy May 13th everybody!

Very interesting- pretty pricey- but the whole first floor wall was completely organized like the rainbow.
Praying for your mom- she sounds like she is in good spirits!
