Many thanks to all that left comments regarding my Mom and to those that offered their prayers and thoughts.
Mom celebrated her 90th birthday in hospital and was gone 5 days later. She just lost the will to live and she was so tired of being sick. We buried her on Monday this week. It is a sad time for us and we will miss her a lot.
Of all the photos we have, this one is my favourite. Mom was just 2 yrs. old when this photo was snapped. Love her outfit and the baby chicks.
I'll be staying in North Bay for a few more weeks to help my sister settle her affairs.
Once home, my first priority will be to give my DH a lot of loving and TLC. He has been so patient and understanding regarding my absence from home over the past few years. It was our desire to not have Mom in a nursing home and she needed help to get around especially the past few months of her life.
After that, there are a couple of quilting projects that need to be completed. First, there is a bag that needs to be made (it is currently half assembled) and sent to Judith. It is part of a swap between us. Judith sent me a parcel and it is waiting for me at home (will reveal that gift soon).
Then, it will be time to complete my quilt for the Four Seasons Spring Swap and then to arrange a giveaway to celebrate my 1st year of blogging. Feb. 22 was my anniversary date; but life got in the way and that had to be put aside until later.
So, until I return home, there will be no more posts until Apr. 7 thereabouts.
Take care and have fun quilting!

Rose Marie, thank you so much for sharing this photo of your mom with her sweet little chicks. Sounds like she did a fine job of raising her two caring daughters. You and your sister took such good care of her, may you always find peace and happiness in that and fond memories of mom.
Great photo of your mom. God Bless you and your family.
Losing my mother was one of the sadest and hardest times of my life. Like you I spend many hours with her at the doctor and the times she was in the hospital during the last year of her life. May Godd keep you in the palms of his hands during the next weeks.

My condolences to you. That surely is a sweet picture!
You are in my thoughts and prayers. I just could not imagine how you feel.
I'm so sorry for your loss.I have been losing my father for little time and I understand what he tries.Ciao
RoseMarie: I understand yourloss - no matter how long we have a loved one we always feel that it should have been longer- my mum passed on at 92 and I felt there were so many things we still had to share together. A lovely picture, too!
Warm thoughts go out to you.
A beautiful photo, a touching memory and hugs to you from the cornfields as you take care of what needs to be done. :0)
Wonderful photo and I believe a great woman!I'm very sorry for your loss. Strongly hug Rose Marie!
It was so nice of you to leave a comment on my Picasa Album webpage. Your idea of embroidery is brilliant!
I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom. My grandfather just passed away and his funeral is Friday. He was 92 and this past year his health and mind were declining rapidly. It's comforting to know he's now in heaven with my Nana and they are together once again.
My prayers are with you at this tough time. Quilty hugs.
Sending love and prayers your way. Such a darling picture of your mom as a child. Hope you are well.
All my thoughts are with you and your family. It is a hard time to live for you.
So sorry Rose Marie for your loss.
I will pray for her.
The Lover’s Knot Quilt always will remember you your Mom
