PROVIDENCE UPDATE

I LOVE this beautiful car despite the nasty road sluge, dirt, salt, etc that she wears now.  But she did a great job getting me home despite very challanging weather/road conditions that I encountered:

High winds, blinding dust storm north of Flagstaff;  detour through Vermmillion Cliffs area due to highway collapsing on usual route to Page, AZ; blizzard, snow packed roads through Panguich and mountenous Hwy 20; traffic threw sludge on windshield blinding me and jumped my heart rate up to 150 bpm;  accident on rest stop exit prevented my need to relieve my bladder and rest my sore bottom.  Walking in those conditions was out of the question and my bottom was screaming at me by the time I got to HAFB to gas up, do a little window cleanup and walk in commissary for 20 minutes to get relief and pick up a few things.

Good news when got home:  Ryan had the fridge plugged in, hot water heater and heat turned up so I could take a nice hot shower after I got car unpacked (he also carried the heavy boxes in for me.  It was 41 degrees and last night the low was 16. 

I'm on my way to get hair trim, visit library, and get a shower and shampoo for my wonerful car and continue unpacking and trying to remember where it all goes, ha!
Sunshine made a beautuiful Easter dress and two darling patio dresses for me that I will live in when weather warms up, yea!
Birthday party pool fun


Taegan spent a weekend with me and helped tie some blankets.
72 pillows

23 blankets and two quilts (one full size, one crib size) plus the 50 tiny quilts I made for the neonatal unit at Tucson Medical Center
86 dresses for abused and needy girls


I had no idea when I cut all these things out before I left Prov. last Fall that the outcome would be so great.  I really had to push hard to finish them up before I left, but those who received them were so appreciative and grateful that I feel really good about all my effort.
