about 8 November meeting
lauragayle
I just wanted to let you all know that I'll be out of town on 8
November and won't be hosting the Studio prayer shawl knitting time.
However, if several of you still want to come, you can, but you may
need to leave at closing (7pm) unless there's another class going that
night.
I'm going to visit my mom in Virginia for 1.5 weeks. She's the
primary caregiver for her sister, my aunt, who has end-stage
Alzheimer's. Hospice has been wonderful, but mom's still the 24/7
person. While mom doesn't let me do as much as I'm willing to do, I
still help her with the heavy lifting and other tasks. And with me
home, she doesn't have to wait for a volunteer to come and stay with
Aunt Julie while she runs errands or just gets out of the house.
I went home back in July, after Aunt Julie had been with mom for a
month. Alzheimer's is a heartbreaking disease, and at the same time,
watching Aunt Julie has made me so thankful for so many little things
I take for granted.
So, I'll be thinking of you all -- and I'll be getting lots of
knitting done on this trip!
cheers-
