Blossom and Bev: Plugging Away....

Plugging Away....

I haven't been able to spend much time at the sewing machine this weekend. I have to work and have a grandson who turned 18 so celebrated yesterday. I got 30 of these blocks done. I think I just need 48 total to do a lap quilt.

So happy 18th birthday Austin!

I think he looks very, very young but he is now legal to do everything but drink alcohol (thank goodness)! I was 18 when I got married and had my first baby at 19. I look at kids this age today and it doesn't seem possible that I could have been that young when I had children. That was what we did during that day and age. We went to high school and then got married. I did go to college but got married in my freshman year. I have 3 grandchildren graduating from high school this May. Wow.

Hope you are having a great weekend (or had--it's almost over). What did you do this weekend? XO and cheery wave from Bev

margaret said...: the children seen to grow up so quickly these days and yes it is difficult to believe they can get married so young.In so many ways I feel they are not mature like we were, but maybe we were not either!Mind you I could have left school at 15 but stayed on till 17, cannot see my Sal holding down a job for 5 minutes which her grandfather did all those years ago. My granddaughter Sal is 15 . older in some ways but still young although she looks a lot older. Here they can drink at 18 but seem to start earlier than that.They can also marry with parents consent at 16 but cannot leave school till 17 and that is going up to 18 soon, seems funny married and still going to school.
Your blocks are coming along a treat.

To All My Dogs Who Have Gone On Before Me

An Important Personal Message

My dear friends - Have you noticed that the world seems to be getting more and more evil and corrupt? Have you ever wondered, assuming that Revelations is true, where we are time-wise and what will happen in the last days? At the bottom of this page, there is a 7 minute video that has no narration, just Bible facts about the sequence of events and where we might be. Of course, some of you won't think this is important, some of you might look at the video to see what the Bible does say and some of you may be offended and unfollow me. I personally believe that time is short. We are at 30 seconds to midnight. Things are coming this year that will affect the USA. Watch or not. I mean no offense. If I believe there is something to warn you about and I don't do it, I will be held accountable. I care about what happens to all of us. In love!
