Last weekend, I received a gift.
It is a walking stick, made by my son in law, Josh.
It is a lovely, beautiful gift
made from a branch that fell on their property.
It is a meaningful gift in so many ways.
It is balanced and dense.
I love it. Thank you Josh.

I am off to walk my laps.
Love you.

Last week, we had guests for dinner.
Larry got the firepit going
and
Jared & Jami {and dogs!} came over
for hot dogs cooked over the fire.
Jared brought the makings for his famous s’mores.
They were so good that
I thought I died and went to heaven.
I cannot share his secret recipe , but, YUMMM.
We had the nicest visit with J&J.
My cup runneth over.
Love you beyond the moon.

Guess who
Is getting his stitches out today?
Larry is thrilled….
We are off to the DR.
Love you!

When my father betrayed and denied me,
His brother, my uncle, came into my life.
My uncle did not have a relationship with his brother either.
Together he and Larry supported me when things looked grim.
The funny thing is, his presence felt as natural as if he had always been in my life.
I survived. Everything was/is ok.
{thanks to two special men in my life}
I cannot believe that Bruce has been gone 8 years.
That awful day {March 10}, feels like yesterday
and I miss him every day.
Uncle Bruce, wherever you are
Thank you for being you.
I love you.

Larry and I bought this while we were in New Hope, PA .
It was hidden in a corner at the Scottish shop
in front of the Bucks County Playhouse.
I love what it says….
but it makes me wonder if I have/am doing a good job?
Are we being kind to each other
and are we making every moment count?
I am glad that it is Thursday.
Love you.

On the evening of the Oscar awards,
Larry and I celebrated in our own way.
It was nice.
We chatted, watched the awards show…and enjoyed dinner.
It was a special break in these crazy winter days.

This past month, I have been struggling with the side effects of my new medicines.
Larry has been wonderful.
He is supportive, positive, cheerful and keeps my mind busy.
What would I do without him?
***
I just finished 5 years of breast cancer treatments
and now,
now I am so angry that I have to deal with diabetes.
So mad.
Medicine every day, finger picks daily too.
Not to mention worrying about food intake and foot problems.
Larry is my hero. I love him more every day.
Larry, when you read this today,
know that I appreciate you with all of my heart
and that I apologise for being angry right now.
I will get over it soon. Promise.
Love you beyond the moon.

Yesterday, I spent the day working on the raffle quilt.
I am hand quilting it, with gentle stitches and waves.
{it is a twin size quilt}
My house is a mess.
Music is loud
and
my fingers are becoming raw and tired.
Raffle tickets are being filled out and put into the bowl.
There are 21 tickets left.
Good luck to everyone who is participating
and
thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Link to “RULES” of the raffle page
Love you.

In an effort to get as much as I can for the donation quilt and understanding the limitation associated with the silent bid process, I have decided to raffle off the quilt.
I am going to offer a chance for the first 30 friends that donate $25.00 to MY Komen Race For The Cure.
The 5 of you that have already donated, already have your name in the bowl.
That makes the odds of winning 1 in 30.
The drawing will be held the day before the Komen Race,
Friday, May 18th, 2018.
Miss Matilda Miller will draw the winner.
Please email me {robin@robintolbert.com} if you make a contribution and I will update the list until all 30 slots have been filled and I will put your name into the bowl.
Thank you for your support!
Love,
Robin
There is an update on the auction page today!
Did you see that moon last night?
Absolutely amazing!
Have a great weekend.
Love you.

Yesterday I headed North during a storm.
I was frightened and amazed at the same time
The beauty and complete power of the storms
were
amazing.
Sometimes it is good to be reminded that we
need to slow down, appreciate the beauty
and
tell the people around us that we love them.
Love you.
