Hello Friends

Well, I am still here. I just have been so busy lately, with no motivation for blogging. Since my camera is on the blink it just doesn't seem as interesting. :-)
I am sitting here enjoying air conditioning. It is something I normally take for granted, but my HVAC unit went out earlier this summer. I have been enduring the summer without it, but finally was able to get the money to have a new one installed. My van has developed a leak in the oil pan, which will be fixed tomorrow. (I hope.) I got a new washing machine put in yesterday to replace the other new one which leaked water everywhere. As I mentioned, my camera is on the blink. My vacuum cleaner stopped working - but it was an easy fix - they pulled a Lego out of it! I have also had lots of financial and legal untangling to work on. I have also had people in to give me quotes on repairing all the water/moisture damage from downstairs. In short, I have just been too busy and distracted to blog.
Thanks for hanging in there and continuing to watch for my posts through my "bad spell." Next week I start back to work :-( But I am grateful for my job, which I really do enjoy. It is just that I enjoy staying home and doing what I want when I want more. TTYL,
Julie

If only somebody would pay us for staying home and quilting all day! Too bad they won't though, and our jobs have lots of rewards outside the paycheck. I keep telling myself that again and again as I get ready to head back next week as well. Hang in there. This too shall pass.

Hi Julie!
Funny how everything breaks down at once, isn't it? Glad you've got the air con - I couldn't do summer without it! Hope everything settles down once school goes back.

Hi Julie,
Geez the bad luck fairy's been a bit mean to you lately, that's far too much for one person to tackle! I'm praying for the good luck fairy to head your way soon so you can take a load off!
Hugs
Jo

We have a saying here, "It never rains,but it pours." So, bring on the "sunshine" for you Julie.
Enjoy the new school term and pamper yourself with a little stitching now and then.
You are one special lady. Go girl.

Gee.... don't you just hate it when everything went wrong at the same time!
We had similiar experiences not too long ago... water heater, dishwasher, fridge, stove... ended up had to replace everything.
Have a great new school year!

Isn't that always the way? When it rains, it pours! I hope you can slide out from under that little black rain cloud soon. Just remember that if it doesn't kill ya', it'll make you stronger! Hang in there buddy...we'll be here waiting for good news. Hugs, B=)

Seems about the time I think things are going ok moneywise...the car breaks down or the AC goes out, or something happens. Hope all goes well and you get back to life with quilting & pix!!!

It always seems that it never rains but what it pours and everything goes wrong at once. Hope things have improved by this time and that your job is going ok. Also hope you have had some time for stitching. Take care.

I haven't been able to blog much lately because my family is visiting. I love the new look of your blog. Gorgeous. I'll be back later once everybody returns to Illinois.
