My piggery with the ice cream was paid back in kind to me when I got a "hell-a-cious walkin' flu" a day or two later!! I think my whole digestive tract curled up and uncurled serveral times in the last few days and I will spare my reader the gory details of the spewing that ensued!!
The trip to Columbus,..Ohio,..last week,.. could be deemed a mild success,..I suppose. I met up with Questing Truth and we discussed a few details for the up-coming book. Rosezelle gave her a standard "acts and procedures" book on how to present her mauscript for publication and I gave her the "ancient" quilt.
That "stripy-weirdly colored" thingy WAS old. I hope that QT is careful with it and has it cleaned as I don't know what it could still have on it.
From what my husband says,..the quilt was old when it was thrown out either into the barn to cover the horses or out for the dog to sleep on and that was done in HIS grandfather's time!! How that thing escaped distruction for the past sixty or seventy years,..I don't know.
The thing that makes me happy is that at least part of the quilt will survive "in toto!" And the reason,..that it will survive in part or in "toto' is that I cared enough about it to give it to someone, who can appreciate it and will take care of it,..and will use it for the good of others.

How sad that we,..as human beings...cannot be so careful with the most precious things in our existence,...each other?

(More on the Columbus Trip,..later!!....QT and I meet up with a deaf-blind lady.....!!)
