Tuesdays with Esther

I missed last week due to the move. Way too worn out. But tonight we are back. It was a shot in the arm to see everyone and work on cards together. I know the cancer patients will enjoy tonight's offerings. Such creative and pretty designs. Every card is so original and cheerful, filled with flowers, birds, butterflies, monkeys, dolphins, starfish, bows, ribbons, cutout shapes and patterns in every color of the rainbow.

The one thing we struggle with is what to say on the inside - Have a day filled with comfort and peace. May you be surrounded by loving friends and family. Wishing you peace and strength. Ideas? We would welcome some cheerful sayings to write in. Of course, we have the stamps that say things like You Are in My Thoughts and Know That Someone Cares About You. Those are good, but there is something a bit more personal when you hand write a little message.

Our conversation tonight was filled with joking around, stories of our summer activities, updates on family members' travels and just plain fun stuff. Meanwhile, we created 15 new cards for the stack which is now well over 100. Plus we have 4 completed shawls - oh, 5 now. One just arrived right now! A beautiful crocheted warm brown with rose and other soft hues mixed in. Someone will love the softness and thickness of this one! Next week will be our last summer session. After that things get crazy until the semester is launched and settles down a bit. We will resume again in September when I can figure out the where and when stuff.

Sure hope this keeps going for a way long time.
