XOXOXOXOXO...AMY...XOXOXOXOXOXO
AS MOST OF YOU KNOW I BELONG TO ONE OF
THE GREATEST GROUP OF WOMEN, LED BY THE TWO
BEAUTIFUL HOSTESSES AND CREATORS, DEBBIE AND
WENDY.
THEY NAMED OUR ATC GROUP THE BLISSFULL ATC SWAP.
EACH MONTH IS A NEW THEME AND IT IS NOT TOO
LATE TO SIGN UP FOR OCTOBER'S THEME, "DARK."
POLLY IS THE NAME OF THE LADY THAT WAS MY
SEPTEMBER SWAP PARTNER. IF YOU READ IN MY
LAST POST IT TOLD OF HOW POLLY IS ON DIS-
ABILITY AND HAD HER PURSE WITH ALL...ALL
HER MONEY STOLEN FROM HER SHOPPING CART.
I IN NO WAY EXPECTED POLLY TO MAKE AND MAIL
HER SEPTEMBER ATC. I HAD TOTALLY FORGOTTEN
ABOUT IT UNTIL SATURDAY, WHEN A BEAUTIFUL
ENVELOPE ARRIVED IN OUR MAILBOX.
POLLY HAS HAD BOTH HER PARENTS
PASS ON TO THEIR
SAVIOUR'S ARMS, HER BELOVED HUSBAND,
AND TWO
YEARS AGO HER 20 YEAR OLD SON. WE HAD AN
IMMEDIATE BOND AS WE BOTH HAD A CHILD GO ON
TO THEIR FINAL HOME WITH JESUS.
WE BOTH KNEW THE
PAIN WITHOUT DISCUSSING THE AGONY.
SHE IS ONE OF THE
SWEETEST AND KINDEST LADIES
YOU WILL EVER MEET.
HER BEAUTIFUL BLOG IS:
IF YOU LOVE BEAUTIFUL IMAGES
OF ANGELS, SHE IS
YOUR GIRL. SHE FREQUENTLY SHARES
BEAUTIFUL IMAGES
OF ANGELS.
THE ATC CARDS WERE ENCLOSED IN THIS SWEET
NOTE CARD. IT HAD SUCH BEAUTIFUL SHADES
OF BLUE....AND A NOTE I WILL ALWAYS TREASURE.
SEPTEMBER'S THEME WAS LEAVES.
YOU USUALLY JUST SEND ONE CARD BUT I WAS
BLESSED WITH TWO CARDS BY POLLY.
THIS ONE WITH THE ANGEL IS SOOOO VERY
STUNNING AND I LOVE THE VERSE:
THE FALL OF A LEAF IS AN ANGEL'S
WHISPER.
IS THAT NOT JUST THE MOST BEAUTIFUL
SAYING.
I LOVE THE SOUND A PILE OF LEAVES MAKE
WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH THEM ON A BRISK
DAY. AFTER READING THE VERSE I KNOW I
HAVE WALKED THROUGH A CHOIR OF ANGELS.
POLLY, YOUR CARD IS SO STUNNING AND I WILL
TREASURE IT, JUST AS I DO EACH ONE I RECEIVE.
YOU ARE TALENTED.
THIS CARD IS SO SWEET AND VERY UNIQUE. I
DON'T KNOW HOW SHE DID IT, UNLESS SHE
KNOWS WHERE THERE IS A FAIRY GARDEN...
BUT THESE LEAVES LOOK AND FEEL REAL.
BEAUTIFUL JOB POLLY. I AM SO EXCITED.
I LOVED THEM BOTH.
I WILL BE ANSWERING ALL YOUR E-MAILS LATER
TODAY. I HAVE NOT CHECKED E-MAILS FOR 7 DAYS
AND IT HAS BEEN 11 DAYS SINCE I POSTED.
THANK YOU SWEET FRIENDS FOR DROPPING BY TO
SEE ME.
IT HAS BEEN A VERY EMOTIONAL TIME. I AM GOING
THROUGH ALL OF AMY'S THINGS. IT IS SAD THAT
SUCH THINGS ARE LEFT SCATTERED WHEN A
PERSON MAKES THEIR FINAL JOURNEY HOME.
HER WHITE BATHROBE WITH THE LITTLE YELLOW
DUCKIE STILL HANGS ON THE BACK OF OUR
BATHROOM DOOR AND IT ALWAYS WILL, EVEN WHEN
WE MOVE. IT DESCRIBES HER WILLINGNESS TO
ALWAYS HAVE THE FUN AND IMAGINATION OF A
CHILD.
I FEEL LIKE A DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE AS SOME
OF HER PERSONAL BELONGINGS MAKE ME CRY WITH
GRIEF, SOME MAKE MR. SIMPLY AND I LAUGH, AND
SOME MAKE US MAD AND ANGRY....AND SOME CAN
CAUSE US TO FEEL AND EXPRESS ALL THOSE
EMOTIONS IN A SPAN OF 15 SECONDS.
RICHIE'S MOTHER-IN-LOVE IS MAKING HIM A QUILT
FROM SOME OF AMY'S T-SHIRTS WHICH I KNOW WILL
BE AWESOME. SHE IS AN EXCELLENT SEAMSTRESS.
RICHIE HAS BEEN SO BUSY WITH HIS NEW JOB
THAT HE HASN'T HAD A CHANCE TO THINK ABOUT
MUCH.
SATURDAY, I HAD A LOVELY VISIT WITH MEGAN,
MY DAUGHTER-IN-LOVE. SHE DROVE DOWN FROM
KANSAS TO RETURN HER UNCLE'S CAR AND TO
TAKE AMY'S BLAZER BACK TO KANSAS.
(HER CAR HAD BEEN TOTALED
IN A WRECK EARLIER THIS YEAR.)
RICHIE AND MEGAN ARE GOING TO BE LOOKING
FOR MR. SIMPLY AND ME A CONDO OR A HOUSE WITH
A SMALL YARD.
WHEN YOU START PACKING, IT IS A LOT EASIER TO
THROW THINGS OUT.
AND KEEP YOU UNTIL WE BLOG AGAIN.
MAY GOD RICHLY BLESS EACH ONE OF YOU AS
YOU SEEK TO GET CLOSER TO HIM EACH DAY.
HUGS,
SIMPLY DEBBIE
