Stitching Yellow

Yellow is the RSC colour of the month, and I've done a little  stitching for my  block sets.  Not much yellow at all in my bag of 2.5in squares to make my framed four patches, but it just had to do.  I'm using those squares up, not cutting new ones.  And I cut some yellow strips for my black and white blocks.

I enjoyed a lunch out with friends this week, I have known these ladies for over 40 years, so we go back a while.  Robin and I have been meeting up with Shirley and Robyn about every three months for lunch.  Their husbands have passed away, and I joked that "Robin was the last man standing" in our group last time we met last November.  Little did I know that his time was drawing near, and we only had 8 days left together.  This time, Trish joined us for lunch as well.

We enjoyed a tasty lunch, reminisced about our younger days, and put the world to rights.  Trish had brought along some lovely apples off her tree for us all, and while decluttering had found several candles to pass on to me.  I had told her that I was lighting a candle in the evenings for Robin.

She had also brought along some photos from our SLG days.  I said I'd look at them when I was home, just in case I got tearful seeing them.  What a treasure trove of memories.  This one was taken in the 80s I think, not long after we were married.  We all had dark hair back then

Such a lot of special memories in the envelope of old photos.
