We made it safely across the country and are thoroughly enjoying baby cuddles and spending time with our son and daughter-in-love. See?.....
It's not a great picture because it was taken with the camera on my tablet . ..sorry.
We have another few days here and then I'm prepared to shed copious amounts of tears when we leave. It's unlikely we'll see them again for a very long time so it's going to be terribly hard to leave. Tring not to think about it!
Hope you're still having fun amongst yourselves .
MAGPIE'S MUMBLINGS
A blog about my interests, which include fabric landscapes and various and assorted other artsy pursuits and sometimes known to contain mumblings of a random nature.

Woo hoo!
We have a new grandson! Born at shortly after 7 this morning. Mom, Dad and grandparents doing well. He was 7 lbs 15 oz, which was really big considering how tiny his mom is. His name, unless it changes is Theo.
The car is being packed today and we'll be on the road across Canada early tomorrow morning and expect to be gone a month. I'll check blogs as much as I can but if I don't comment as much as usual you'll know why!
Be good while I'm gone!

37 years ago
Thirty seven years ago today I made the best move of my life and married the man I hope to spend at least 37 more years with. Love you Jack!
I'd include a picture of him if only I knew how!! My main computer is in for repair and I'm relying on the tablet and so far pictures elude me..along with a whole lot of other things! I have some mumblings I could share too, but unfortunately I don't know how to do those either (some of you are probably quite relieved about that!).
We await THE CALL about the arrival of our new grand baby but so far he's stayed put. It would be a nice anniversary present if he were to arrive today.
I do have a quote for you today though, from Henry David Thoreau . .... The most I can do for my friend is simply to be his friend.

Old sayings
You know that old saying that it never rains but what it pours? Well, it seems to be pouring here but not of the type that falls from the sky and helps the earth.
I told you yesterday that Jack`s sister passed away and that we`ll be dealing with her funeral the first of the week. Most of you know that we are awaiting the imminent birth of our second grandbaby and will be driving across the country to meet him. Well, the car had to be checked over prior to such a big trip - and - four new tires later we`re good to go. This morning I had to take my main computer in for repairs and the service tech very chippily told me that it`s quite likely I will need a new one. NOT what I needed to hear! He did say he might be wrong, so I`m hopeful. Mine is only a year and a half old so I hadn`t better need a new one!
So....this post is being done using the tablet which is definitely not comfortable to type on. Because of that, please excuse any typos!! And - being that I haven`t the foggiest idea of how to post pictures, obviously there won`t be any. Of course it`s going into a long w`end here and back-to-school as well so I doubt there`s much hope of repairs until next week. Needless to say, there might not be too many posts happening!
Your quote is from an unknown source...Life has many ways of testing a person`s will, either by having nothing happen at all or by having everything happen all at once

A mixed bag
Once again there are no pictures of anything that's stitchery related happening around here. We've had a family death (DH's sister) and so my thoughts have been not quite on being creative.
Today your quote is from Carson McCullers...."How can the dead be truly dead when they still live in the souls of those who are left behind?"
Rest in peace Jean.
