Gobsmacked

Gobsmacked accurately describes how we all felt when we were told our YD and family would be moving to Memphis Tennesse which is  over 3 000 km away. We all have been so close to our two grandchildren and the news has hit us hard ! My sil was headhunted by this company so off they will go ! It has coloured our whole weekend. We're sad, very sad. My YGS is heartbroken. But our liives will go on and we'll save like mad to make the journey a couple of times.

Meanwhile I have knit 2 cowls and one shawl for ED's Outlander wine/ dinner party -----in November ! Oh well, it's one more thing off my list. I am going to try and make a few jabots for the men !- to wear with their  kilts. Zipper was successfully put in Hubby's pants so that was another chore off my list. This morning I am cutting out hexagons to start doing some  English Paper Piecing.

Yeterday YS made Ukrainian Garlic rolls and I made Pineapple Delight for our Easter eal at YD. The kids had fun with their egg rolling ! Today we will have our own ham  and a smaller Pineapple Delight. There will be fresh pineapple for Hubby.

The weather this week is going to be warm - up to 14*C ! We might even be able to do a bit of yard work. Certainly we will start a few plants inside. First I must wash the kitchen floor  so that we can put up the mini greenhouse.  Cukes, squash and  corn as well as some flowering plants - as I had gathered seeds from my daughter's garden ! She had some beautiful thistles.

Interesting aside to the drama that is the egg donor. Apparently she had her daughter, but the father and grandmother could not get a hold of her. So the grandmother phoned her mother to see if she could reach her. Now if you couldn't speak to your daughter, would you not phone the police ?  Also the ' in laws' are saying they are finally changing their will-- they had said that they had already done that -- who knows. ...and will be making ES the executor of their estate. Now if the whole story were known as to how they had treated him, one would laugh themselves silly. Hopefully they will do this right away which will be a shock to their lawyer as the lawyer was also the egg donor's lawyer where she leveled false accusations against him.[ all of which we were able to prove false, by the way !  ] Time will tell if they do exactly what they planned- or say they have planned.

So today I'll try and start a new quilt, do bathrooms, floors and see what I can get started for the garden.
