Today my dad will be sprung from the hospital. He'll have a chemotherapy treatment tomorrow. After tomorrow, he'll finally be able to get back home to Door County.Muriel and my dad were scheduled to take the last of their two part "Me and My Adult" quilting class tomorrow, but the quilt was mistakenly left in Door County. Hopefully, we'll get this problem worked out without too much trouble. When the quilt is finished, I hope to get a picture of it up on the blog.
Muriel is using our sewing machine to put her quilt together. My dad took a quilting class in Indianapolis when he was working there. That class was about ten years ago; the same time Muriel was born. The quilt he did was a wall hanging sampler done completely by hand! It now hangs in the dining room in Door County.
Below I have included a recent picture of my dad. This photo was taken in the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Exhibit at the Wisconsin State Fair.
The kids and I have gone to the fair for many years with my parents. We enjoy seeing the animals and the craft entries. My dad especially likes to see the prize winning animals and the prices those animals sold for. Admiring the cake decorating, quilting, knitting, sewing, and other craft entries is one of our favorite parts of the fair. Of course, there are also plenty of displays and activities of interest to us in the DNR exhibit.

Nice picture! So glad you're out of the hospital and almost back up north. Thinking of you often.
Thanks Michele!
Phil,
This is Marcy from Rexnord. The one that you would ask if I was praying for your redget soul. You would pray for me and I would pray for you.
I miss calling you at late nights about jobs abending and bugging you about these jobs, Now I have to call Gary Browarski, poor Gary.
I have been praying for you and your family, nice fish in one of the pictures. Enjoy yourself. In the bible it says, This is the day that the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad in it. Take one day at a time, that's what we should all do. Be blessed.
