No reason to sew until you get your body back in sync again. It sounds liek you had a nice time and celebrated Grandma's life with all the kids and family. She would have been very happy to see you all enjoying yourselves and remembering her with happy times!<br><br>My teary sister and I sat next to each other at my grnadma's funeral and bawled.

Please take the time to grieve. <br>I always feel discombulated after a trip too,, and it takes me a while to readjust. <br>My grandmother died last November, and it was so ironic that it was the most likeliest time to see so many of the cousins. It was good to see them, but so sad for the setting.Shelinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10794292846146096402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24252963.post-54994966904511221822006-08-17T20:11:00.000-05:002006-08-17T20:11:00.000-05:00Hey Sis I enjoyed reading about the trip.

I just don't think they have to be quilt related alllll the time..*S*. Life keeps happening with or without our being motivated to piece and to quilt.<br>It sounds very lovely, the time with your family and probably was the best medicine to ease the pain of your loss. Neat that the cousins could get together and have some fun also.<br>At Grandma's advanced age, a celebration of her life sounds perfect. I'm sure she was smiling down on all of you. Life will sort itself out again soon enough...do it at your own pace.
