Good start for my weekend and next week. My potential customer cancelled, good because I've been away from the business for over a year and need some time to get re-set up and up to date on new developments. Rider starts her new hours next week so no more rider starting Monday, that means gym next week and freedom!! YAY!!
Severe storms south of us, maybe rain? Weather radio was going off.
Now not worrying about a client, I can start working on a gift for my great granddaughter's baby shower on September 6. Just found out the date yesterday. Doing a quilted double layered fleece blanket, will make her a quilt as a new baby in November.
Ok now this is a rather stressful family thing. Cody, my step grandson, is not a responsible adult @ 26. He is the dad. He has gotten in a lot if trouble doing stupid things including theft. He has some psych issues and learning disabilities. He took off, is now somewhere we think in Wisconsin, not sure. My daughter, step-mom has been in touch with baby-mom Kara. She has a young daughter and seems like a really good mom. Anyways we are accepting our roles as family, no matter what. Have not met her yet, mostly photos on Facebook of her pretty little girl.

Accepting family roles no matter what is a good thing. GoodMan and I have a close relationship with the mother of two of our grandsons even though our son (who has narcissistic personality disorder) does not have a relationship with her. So many families have stories like ours, but not everyone chooses to keep those relationships. I think you'll be glad you did!

Right, I'm sure I will. I'm excited to meet baby mom Kara, I've been talking to her on face book. Grandkids are great, I might end up with an extra one since she has a young daughter.

So, the baby shower you're going to is for Cody and Kara's little baby girl? Sorry for the family drama. Everyone I've known with irresponsible kids have expended SO much energy trying to help and/or do tough love. It makes me feel so fortunate so far to not have much drama. Glad you got a reprieve on the quilting job. I know how it is when your craft area isn't really up to par for visitors. An organized workspace is the biggest challenge to actually DOING projects. I know that much! Enjoy making the blanket for the shower and the quilt for after her arrival. I sure have had fun making stuff for my daughter and grandbabies!

Yup baby shower is for baby-mom, Cody, step grandson and dad took off for a different state. As said, not responsible. His step-mom (my daughter) and Cody's dad are stepping up and supporting as grand-parents. Very proud of them. Not sure yet about Cody's biological grand parents, last I heard they wanted a DNA test, even though Cody was living with her at the time. Mmmmm.

I not only quilt for others but am an independent sales rep for the machine company. Have not pushed it for the past year but my name and contact info is on their web site. She's interested in a machine.

Great attitude. I am Step Grandma to 9 of my 11 grandchildren. In this day and age most kids don't care about the "step" part. It is being family that counts.

Family can never be to big, even if you have never met.

Cody's child will have grandparents and at least one great gramma on his side that cares. Not sure about Cody's real grandparents yet. Cody may not know his daughter but we will. 2 of my 7 grandsons are steps. Cody has been mine since he was 7. His mom left him and dad a few weeks after he was born. Dad was working full time and going to school full time while his wife was pregnant, he didn't realize that mom was doing drugs. Cody was born addicted. He has had problems from that his whole life and has not much sense of right and wrong, no matter how he was raised. He has had a good family with lots of support and good values including extended family. He has gotten into trouble with the law repeatedly over the last 8 years. Mom and dad have said they simply cannot keep bailing him out if jail and paying legal fees. Drugs do horrible things.
