My <a href=\"http:\/\/marysartmusings.blogspot.com\" target=\"_blank\">mom<\/a> and I drove down Thursday to stay and take care of Grama and to help her celebrate her birthday. Grama&#8217;s birthday was Thursday. She turned 90.<\/p>\n<p>She was really in bad shape when we got there and it turned out nobody had brought her dinner. \ud83d\ude41 Miscommunication, but she was a little manic and confused when we got there.<\/p>\n<p>It was a hard weekend. I did get to <a title=\"Shop Review: Candy\u2019s Quiltworks\" href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2013\/09\/shop-review-candys-quiltworks\/\" target=\"_blank\">run off with Susan<\/a> for a few hours on Sunday, but aside from that and a trip to return some clothes, it was all Grama all the time. At least she doesn&#8217;t get up in the night. I cleaned house. I shredded about a gazillion old bills and generally fetched and carried for Grama.<\/p>\n<p>I have to say that I visited two quilt shops &#8211; one on the way down and one on the way back. I also picked up my sewing machine, which means that if I wake up, I can sew on the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>I thought I was ok when I got home, but at work today, it was the last place I wanted to be. I should have taken the day off. I didn&#8217;t because PPTO days don&#8217;t grow on trees.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20326\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20326\" style=\"width: 276px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/PICT3942sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-20326\" alt=\"Simplify Aurifil\" src=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/PICT3942sm-259x300.jpg\" width=\"276\" height=\"319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/PICT3942sm-259x300.jpg 259w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/PICT3942sm-885x1024.jpg 885w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/PICT3942sm.jpg 913w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 276px) 85vw, 276px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20326\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Simplify Aurifil<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>One of the packages had the most delicious treat in it.
