Today, or I believe it to be so, my good friend Lyn and her hubby will be leaving our cozy area where we live and quilt together. Leaving town, yes, but leaving our friendship NEVER! Lyn, you have brought into our lives every month for ((what 10 years in total)) at your home for flavoured teas, cookie and FQ exchange at Christmas, and so many other great chats that we shared.
I loved it when you would say on a bright, cold, winter’s day......bring your Jammie’s and we will have a sleep over and sewing night all together.
Through you I have met some beautiful ladies......Yvonne, Rose, Sue and Sandra. What a talented group you have brought together.....and so many different ways to share and care.
You have been so easy to talk to about private things, your calm ways or explaining or sharing. Always welcoming us at the door with a beautiful smile. You taught us little quilting tricks and tips. You kept us all organized, and for goodness sake, showed us how to share all our older magazines and then feel good when the time came to move them forward, or let them go. Thanks to you I have binders of quilts that are in that “Maybe On Day” binder.
“What fun” “What about this” “Did you see this or that English Series?” “Have you ever read this or that book?”.......yes this was part of who you are. Always sharing new and interesting things with us. A place where we could go and just be ourselves. Every last Tues of the Month when Gal Pals gathered around your table it was always such an interesting time.
As you close this chapter and start composing the chapters of your life time back in USA with your family so close by, I know you will never forget these “Gal Pals” that you left behind.
Rose, Yvonne, Sue, Sandra, and myself, Denise.
God Bless you and Doug as you move forward into a new and different life......
A little memory that I will always treasure.
Nov 11/2018.......Yvonne and I just realized yesterday, no Christmas Party or sharing of 1FQ, a Christmas Craft you taught us, no 6 cookies for our cookie exchange......and no Almost-Christmas laughs and hopes for a winter storm so we can have a Gal Pal Sleep Over party together. As if there would be much sleeping anyway. You are missed, but we also hope, you are going to have a wonderful Christmas this year being there with your Daughter, SIL, and Grandchildren. Yes, we decided we would share you this year and forward with them.
