I returned home from my trip to FL over a week ago and have posted a few
lines to different posts since getting back home, but haven't had time to
write about the trip.
My Dear Sis, whom we saw at the hospital in MS. She is now home and doing
well. She was discharged a week early, and I had to tease her, that it was
because of our visit.
One DD taught me lots about digital photography, as in re-doing photos,
getting rid of "red-eye", and so many other things. She took 2 classes in
the spring semester at the local community college. Now I intend to take
one of the photos I made of my siblings at the get-together in February,
make it "look good" and print it onto fabric for throw pillows for each of
us. There is nothing like combining my two hobbies, which I took up about
the same time, when I was about 5 years old, using my DM's 1930 Singer
treadle and a small camera, given to me by a cousin, who had just purchased
a new one.
On the way back, we spent the afternoon with the nephew, who lost everything
last year, & family, to visit and see their re-built home. Did those
volunteers ever do a great job! Besides adding 750 square feet to the size
for 2 extra bedrooms and a bath, to accommodate the 3 little boys they have
accepted to rear, the builders revamped the kitchen-dining and laundry room.
All that is left to do is connect the water lines to the house and hot water
heater, which hopefully, they can get done this week and get the phone
service restored. then they can say good-bye to the small FEMA trailers, in
which they have lived for the past several months. For a family of 8, first
there was only one trailer, built for 1-2 people. Later, they were finally
able to acquire another from FEMA, so their children, ages 22, 20 and 14
shared one with my nephew, his wife and the three boys, ages 7,5,4 in the
other.
I really miss reading the group when I am away from home, as I will be again
in July, when I go to SC for a couple weeks visit with my youngest DGD and
her parents.

Emily - It sounds like a great trip! Let us know how the pillows turn out.
I keep thinking of projects using photos printed on fabric but haven't tried
any yet. I hope your nephew and family are back in their home by now. They
will feel like they've moved into a mansion after living in 2 small
trailers!!!

The pillows are coming along, in fact the covers are done; and with the new
printer I rec'd on my birthday, the pics should be easy to print. DS will
do that when he gets a breather from his job traveling. I'll find a way to
post pics, and describe how I sewed them. But everything is on hold now
till I return from SC, when I will see youngest DGD, for the first time in
almost 18 months. I leave the first and return the 14th, but this time I'm
taking the computer with me for us to play games, so I think I will be
around.
Nephew and family have not gotten the water on in the house yet, too much
work for the few licensed plumbers in the area. They live in Waveland/Bay
St Louis, where the storm surge hit the hardest. Maybe this, his DW said
today.
