The past week has been filled with many events that evoked many emotions. This past weekend the entertainment world lost a young actor, Paul Walker. Now I am not a big fan of the "Fast and Furious" movies, but I had seen this actor on many talk shows and his "personality" was one of those that came across as a humble, charitable, likable nice guy. It's never easy to hear about people who have lost their live at a young age and in an avoidable accident. Today the world also lost a hero, Mr. Nelson Mandela. I can honestly say, he was a person that actually opened my eyes to the inequalities in this world. I'm sure there are two souls who have time to ponder their "mission" before returning back to this earth.
This past Saturday, I finally picked-up the quilt that I had made for Ashley for her birthday/Christmas present.
The lady who made this quilt did a wonderful job. Last May, I basically gave her all of Ashley's ribbons that she had won during her equestrian days. I had no vision or idea of what I wanted. She took the ribbons, removed all the flowerettes from them and this is the end product. There are eight pictures that I printed out from my computer onto "quilting paper" and she incorporated them into the quilt. Now I'm thinking I might look into getting a quilt made for Patrick using all of his soccer jerseys. Although something tells me he won't be quite as receptive in having his jerseys cut up. Hmmm. will have to think that one through a little bit.
Speaking of the son, he will be home a week today. He called tonight and he has four exams coming up in the 6 days.
As for the daughter, she leaves next week for Geneva - yes Geneva, Switzerland. Only for 6 days too. There are a few people from the office heading there to watch a horse show. Who knew a job as a personal assistant could be so rewarding and beneficial.
I have finally finished the Christmas cards and wrapping presents ----- for my Mom. Now to get onto my own.
Stay warm and I'm off to have a Chai Tea Latte.
