Thanks.....

I'm almost not sure where to begin this post.

As many of you know I had surgery last week.

It is thankfully my last this year and for quite some time if I can manage it.

I guess we are never sure if our health will hold out but I am hedging my bets in a positive direction.

Part of the specialness of this last week was that my mom came to stay with us.

She can rarely take any time off of her job as a hair dresser so this was even more special.

My girls loved it.

There were some ups and downs and now I am on the mend but the leg still lets me know every 4 hours that it's still there!

My mom went home yesterday.

That was tough because we miss her.

One consolation is that we are traveling to see them in a couple of weeks...

Now about today.

Today is not like any other wednesday.

I was planning a stay it home day.

That quickly changed when I realized that my 10 year old had a doctors appt.

 (since they are off school for Thanksgiving).

Hubby is working so my broken self was elected to take her.

When I got home....

there was a package at my door.

It said Moda on the side

(from a distance I could read this because..well I have a hawk-eye for Moda!)

When I picked up the box...I quickly realized it wasn't Moda at all....

It was from Joyce from J'Ellens.

What on earth?

Did I order and not remember?

I mean the anesthetic and vicodin could have done it....lapsed memory...

no I didn't order. I'm sure I didn't.

In the box were 4 blue bags

and a

"quilted" card.

gorgeous 'quilted' card.

I was/am stunned.

Joyce and Katrina sent me treats to help me feel better.

3 fat quarters and 3 jelly rolls of new Moda solids....

robin egg blue, porcelain and slate grey.

I am just stunned.

I almost instantly started crying from happiness that they were so thoughtful.

I don't deserve to have such great friends.

I can't wait to see them and thank them in person.

Joyce and Katrina...if you are reading this....

You made my day, week and month.

I am so thankful.
