from Beginning to End Of Our Life Together

 


We started our journey together way back in 74 ,just babies as people would say,young,full of life,not knowing. that the journey would end 42 yrs later, Terry would say he plucked me right outta my daddys lap 😄 through the yrs. we seen good times,hard times even hardships but God never left out side & he is as good to me now as he was then, of all the blessings,all the miracles through the yrs. spite the hardships that 2106 brought I'd say it was the absolute best of 42 yrs. Terry was diagnosed with prostate cancer ,which later radiation  sparked leukemia 2 weeks after we signed papers to the house on the lake,but God showed up bigger than ever allowing us to enjoy all our 1st's in our new home,we haven't even moved in yet but had Easter in that big ole back yard, family fished off the pier,we laughed wondering what the neighbors thought gathering at an empty house,March of 2015 was the beginning of celebrating our 1st's in our new home,every holiday,every birthday, anniversaries of everyone,on Feb.10 of 2016 our 1st's had come full circle,at 4:30 am,he woke but too weak to open his eyes whispered" have I told you lately that I luv you"  & with his last breath told me he luved me & happy birthday , today I am 70 yrs old ,a long ways from that young "skinny" little 19 yr.old girl, Gods word says we're promised 70 yrs & if we live beyond that then we are truly blessed, Terry's grandmother called it borrowed time, I'm not sure where this new season in my life will take me but one thing for sure I know that whatever the journey,God is good all the time & all the time God is good!

The Perfect Backing

 On the way home from church Sunday I stopped by the Goodwill store & found a blue check set of unopened sheets




A good find for $10,I think they will  complement the colors & make for the perfect backing for the blue flimsy  once the bordes are added


Then I shall quilt on! 🤣

Update On The Blue Flimsy

 Another row added to the blue flimsy (quilt top) with two to go,I rearranged & that messed with me,why did I do it 🤷 🤣 so no rethinking just get them laid out lol

This is about the only large piece of blue I have left other than dark country checks which I don't think it'd  go, I've roughly measured it & I may be able to squeak out  2'1/2--2" border,there's always the option of a blue sheet🤣
