I'm from deep south Texas and it has been 40 in the morning and up to 90 during the day! Sure wish I could ride a bike and shed some of these excess lbs. I LOVE your pictures, all of them!<br>Estela in South TXAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565536527735548627.post-42100833603482136482008-03-11T16:29:00.000-07:002008-03-11T16:29:00.000-07:00I am so happy that you got a chance to go for a ri...I am so happy that you got a chance to go for a ride. I'm sure with things being different this year, you will have the chance to build up your stamina and speed to much higher levels than you were at last year, or even the year before. The body is a resiliant thing, and yours will be back in shape in no time.<br><br>GregAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565536527735548627.post-50021989528758849562008-03-11T16:40:00.000-07:002008-03-11T16:40:00.000-07:00Glad that you and Rick got to go on the bike ride ...Glad that you and Rick got to go on the bike ride even though you had a time of it. That quilt is beautiful. Who needs a spread or comforter with a beauty like that. No telling how many hours of work she put into it. That is definately a keeper. Thanks for sharing all your pictures with us.

It was of a fruit and flower garden with the wheelbarrow in it. I couldn't understand why it came up for sale when so much work had gone into it, except that the lady must have died and it had been given away. I bought it in a second hand market in Glasgow for £3.00/$6.00 The workmanship was wonderful! I love it and often wonder what the embroiderer thought of as she worked away on it. Like me she must have loved her garden. I bought it in respect of all her hard work and time spent on it as well as for the exquisite craftmanship. At least I can look after it and love it for her even though I assume she is no longer with us.<br>Betty's Quilts deserve such love and consideration. Many, many hours of thoughts and intricate needlework have been sewn into them. I admire her craftmanship and am so glad you won't part with them. <br>Happiness you brought me today when I read of your bike ride, even though you ache to blazes! Lol! That means you are at the beginning of your adventure into 'Them Thar' Hills'. Lol!<br>What a delight to see blue skies in your photos too.!<br>Smashing entry Julie. Thanks for that.<br>Hugs<br>Jeanie xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565536527735548627.post-2803501202403411452008-03-12T14:38:00.000-07:002008-03-12T14:38:00.000-07:00Julie, it was winter, you were working FT, taking ...Julie, it was winter, you were working FT, taking care of your dying MIL, plus middleaged. I would think it would have been near to impossible to keep in shape for marathon biking. You will get yourself back in shape. That place in SD is awesome. I would keep all your MIL's quilts. You just don't see needlepoint and cross stitch done by hand anymore. They are gorgeous.
