Alive!

I'm alive!

Not completely well, but oh so much better :)

This flu has played havoc with my lungs,

so there is still some congestion,

but getting better day by day :)

I want to thank you all

for your thoughtful get well

comments . . .

they touched my heart and warmed my soul.

Thank you so very much :)

Steve has had more problems
and was sent to the emergency room
one day, but thankfully was sent home
without a hospital stay.
Do keep us in your prayers. 

I have been quilting away 
on my sister-in-law's
grandmother's quilt. 

And this morning I was inspired to 
bake Steve an apple pie.
 So I got out my mother's old
mixing bowl.
I love using her old bowl,
somehow it puts her here in the kitchen with me :)

I used one of my quarts of
Amish apple pie filling.
I canned these this Fall from a
new Amish canning book 
that I purchased on-line.

Going into the oven.
This small six inch corning ware 
pan is just the right size for us.
We get four generous servings.

Out of the oven. 
It makes the house smell wonderful :)

While I was off on my break . . .

This lovely gift arrived in the mail.

Hand-made my Melba 
of
Henny Penny Lane
if you have not visited her blog
I suggest that you do.

These beautiful fabric squares 
were also included in her gift.

She and her husband live in 
a beautiful log cabin in 
North Carolina.
She raises a garden, 
has the best cared for animals ever,
and is an amazing stitcher
of all things old fashioned 
and lovely.

Well that's it for today,
it is good to be back among 
the living.

Wishing you all a healthy
winter season . . .
stay warm and cozy.

Keep Smiling!

Your blogging sister,
Connie :)
