Hi Pokey! Sorry that you are having to make the trip under a cloud of sadness, but rejoice knowing that your MIL is a child of God and only her physical body will someday fade away. I will be keeping her and your FIL, and you and Larry in my prayers. Travel safely, dear one.
A fun time is happening! I'm sorry it isn't under better circumstances. Make the best of it, enjoy the time with friends and the time you get to spend with your in-laws.
So, my name is like this, Gwen is my given name, and growing up it was family that called me that. But about Jr. High, the name Pokey was what I became known as. ( Slow to get the jokes, slow to complete the work, but I call that perfectionism! or, procrastination....) When I'm at work, most people there call me Gwen (or Mrs. Davis, I'm a teacher.) BUT, my honey calls me Pokey. When I got married, our Pastor asked, "Pokey, do you take this man..." At church, I'm Pokey. My friends call me Pokey. As a matter of fact, Pokey Davis is a registered 'alias' at my bank, because occasionally people will write it on checks made out to me-! You get to choose where you want to fit. I answer to any. I wanted folks to know, the name 'Pokey' wasn't made up just for blogging!

Hi Pokey, A road trip with friends is always good for some laughs. Sorry to hear about your MIL. Enjoy your visit with her.
ReplyDeleteYour sewing room is really looking good. What fun to reorganize, toss out, fondle fabric and plan upcoming projects.
Love the red and white fabrics. Do you have plans for them?
I made a Civil War fabric quilt a few years ago. Had a hard time not throwing in a bright, wild fabric to brighten it up!
I'm really looking forward to your Storm at Sea quilt with all the fun colors and fabrics.
Have a great trip. Blessing to you MIL.
ReplyDeleteBe safe! See you soon!
