This such a happy day for me.  Look at my Mom!  She is out in my craft room working on a quilt.
Doesn't she look great?  Jon ,Phillip (son-in-law) and Todd (my grandson in law) built her a ramp last weekend.  Now she can get in and out of the house by herself using her motorized chair.  What a blessing!

Lily (my Great-Granddaughter)
This is Lily's first horse show to ride her horse.  She is 8 and so adorable.  She was thrilled to death to win 2 ribbons for 2nd and 3rd place. We are so proud of her.

You mom looks so sweet and look at her sewing on a quilt. I lost my mom eight years ago and often long to just sit and talk with her. Enjoy the blessing of your mom! Your Lily is really impressing me, I have never been on a horse so I am impressed that she is winning ribbons.

That's awesome, Joan, that she can get around now! You can spend hours stamping and she can quilt and you can talk away the day! This time spent together is so important and treasured!

The picture of your mom is just wonderful. And I can tell you from personal experience, the motorized wheelchair is like a rebirth. It will add so much to her life. Thank you for sharing this with your readers.

Your Mom looks wonderful! She seems to be so pleased to work on her quilt! My Mom quilted and I miss her terribly. We were very close as I was the oldest child and we sort of grew up together. Treasure your Mom!
