In remembrance........

In remembrance of what was probably the saddest day in recent history for us...hard to believe it has been 9 years now.....moments in time that changed our lives forever.

2nd post for today......sad one....

Some of you may recall when I got my replacement Janome machine (when my original one was defective), I had to surrender the walking foot that came with my original machine and was told I'd have to buy it BACK for the replacement machine. I didn't want to give the dealer any money for that and I blogged about it. Out of the blue, stepped a really nice quilter from Maine....Lynda....and she contacted me to tell me she had an extra one and would be happy to send it to me. She did and I sent her fabric as a thank-you. We emailed back and forth a bit......had a lot in common as she was a retired educator, too. I was one of the first to sign on as a follower of her blog "From My Farmhouse Window" and I enjoyed the contact I had with her. She sometimes got down to Lancaster as she had family there and we hoped to meet there sometime in the not-too-distant future. (She got a big kick out of my bottomless Amish shopping bag and how I blogged about that in November.) Now we will never meet in Lancaster as she has passed away suddenly. Her daughter posted on Lynda's blog to let us know. If you knew Lynda in Blogland, too, and weren't yet aware of this sad news, you might want to go there and leave a message for her daughter. Rest in peace, Lynda.
