I did get to Hawaii (trip of a life time) in January. It was an amazing time on Norwegian Cruise Lines. I travelled with Laura and her family as Roger was not interested and also his parents were very ill and he needed to stay home. His loss.<br /><br />Our oldest daughter, Christy, has just recently become an American citizen and is just thrilled to now have an opportunity to part of her community decisions.<br /><br />I have now got my B-line Quilting machine very active and am getting ready to start working on quilts with panographs. Wish me luck.<br /><br />I am off next week to Colorado Springs to help my daughter Laura as little Lucas is having surgery. This will not be fun.<br /><br />I hope everyone is having a great time and with all a wonderful summer.Gloria's Treasureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17933216268350682590noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1310920959815914000.post-48170011199243331682009-09-12T09:47:00.000-07:002009-09-12T09:54:09.326-07:00Where Has Summer Gone?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRBKmXg5HO9_AVN_7rbZSgnTI3w8wyS5cW9kRvXSTvFJxsWOO04pRq9B7mBIr2WU0BZgatBEepEXlabPgA6wXV_GshIRXaVmZmXXuv2mq-CIDziyD_jN-qFvjp9xfzGkEs5rmc_7jlBV0/s1600-h/2009+ATV+Poker+Run+for+Cancer+007.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380624687816364130" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRBKmXg5HO9_AVN_7rbZSgnTI3w8wyS5cW9kRvXSTvFJxsWOO04pRq9B7mBIr2WU0BZgatBEepEXlabPgA6wXV_GshIRXaVmZmXXuv2mq-CIDziyD_jN-qFvjp9xfzGkEs5rmc_7jlBV0/s320/2009+ATV+Poker+Run+for+Cancer+007.jpg" /></a><br /><div>Well it is very cool here today (Sept. 12th) and no sun. We have had a very busy season, but a short one. Roger and I have decided to go on a Hawaiian cruise in January (actually I decided and told him he was either in or out). </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Last Saturday we held our 2nd Annual Paul Commodore ATV Poker Run for cancer and raised over $3800 ~ what a day. Tremendous support from our ATV Lovers and businesses who sponsored our prizes. The Bell Canada friends of Paul's looked after the BBQ and it was tremendous.</div><div> </div><div>I have been asked by my friends at the Thousand Islands Quilter's Guild to display one of my larger quilts at the Upper Canada Fall Showcase next weekend. I am really looking forward to this and have to decide if it will be my Flying Geese Quilt or my Rose in a Log Cabin Quilt.</div>Gloria's Treasureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17933216268350682590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1310920959815914000.post-34160603326586725882009-07-11T19:15:00.000-07:002009-07-11T19:26:39.674-07:00It has been a very interesting week. As most know, we here in Eastern Ontario, Canada, have had rain now for about six weeks (almost every day). This week was horrendous. I babysat for Joe and Barbara in <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Kemptville</span> and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">unfortunately</span> locked myself and Miss Lilly out of the house on Tuesday in yet another downpour of rain. Thank goodness I had my purse over my shoulder and with my credit card purchased enough chow for Miss Lilly and headed to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Mallorytown</span>. Lilly loved all the attention.<br /><br />I am now sick with a cold from the soaking I took and also <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">ATVing</span> in the rain. We seem to be very busy in this part of the woods. I just hope it continues to make up for the down slide in business we have been <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">experiencing</span>.<br /><br />This past week we have had clients from Switzerland, Germany, Mexico City, Iran, Jamaica, Australia, Tennessee, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Massachusetts</span>, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Connecticut</span>, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">Pennsylvania</span>, New Hampshire, New York, and many, many more. We meet a lot of people in this business.Gloria's Treasureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17933216268350682590noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1310920959815914000.post-6018025913529157372009-06-21T05:31:00.000-07:002009-06-21T05:32:47.624-07:00Thousand Islands Quilter's GuildWell gues what ~ I am articled.

Lilly, Joe & Barbara's 6 month old daughter was christened in Mallorytown United Church. Roger could not go to Kemptville for the celebration as there were 12 people at the ATV Coffee Run, but I took Mom and Barbara had a very nice reception. Unfortunately it rained in their back yard in the afternoon, but I don't think anywhere else.<br /><br />Saturday was our Church Sunday School yard sale and we had a great time and made over $300. I will be glad when life slows down. Not sure when this is going to happen.<br /><br />My long awaited Quiltfest starts on Friday. I am ready for the big event ~ all quilts (4) and wall hangings (2) are ready and bagged. I am working on Thursday and Friday, so hopefully we will have great weather ~ not too hot though.

Our dear friend Fred McNeely passed away. Fred is a retired farmer who just moved to a smaller home (beautiful though) and just could not cope with life's changes.
