Stutter Steps

Isn't it funny how one event in your life can alter the routine so engrossed in our being? Jim's Uncle Don passed away Saturday night and since then, the house has been up and down with busy-ness. While I was only able to piece three blocks last night, and none the night before, I still have a nice little stack started down there.

Today won't be a very productive day either, if at all. Actually, this whole week won't see much sewing action since Teresa arrives in a short while from now. We have to pick up Christe at the Grand Rapids airport by 1:00 today and Jim's mom will be here tomorrow. The rest of the family arrives on Wednesday night or Thursday morning for a Thursday afternoon funeral and somewhere in all of this I have to run in and pick up Ben (Caleb has his state FFA convention on Wednesday through Friday, so he won't even be here since he's up for state officer). Meanwhile, Jim started his new job with Dollar General today driving for them and reluctantly will not be able to even make the funeral.

And, Jim mentioned last night that they may all stay down here until Saturday or Sunday to spend time together. I have a feeling Aunt Shirley and I are going to be going through a lot of coffee.
