I finished the September pattern in the Joyful World SAL by Snowflower Diaries.
Leona Speicher got the "sister" she'd always dreamed of the day Gloria Gingerich and her family moved to Lancaster County Amish farmland. The Arkansas newcomers seem to be everything a devout Plain family should be, and Leona can't help comparing Gloria's engaging young parents to her own.
Leona's cousin shows a romantic interest in Gloria around the same time as Gloria's older brother expresses his fondness for Leona--it seems likely the two young women will marry into each other's families, remaining close friends for life. Thus, Leona is shocked when the Gingeriches suddenly pack up and disappear after being expelled from the church for reasons no one will discuss. Despite Leona's pleas, Gloria goes with them, leaving more than one broken heart behind.
When Gloria unexpectedly contacts Leona after a silence of several years, Leona makes up her mind to persuade her friend to return to Lancaster County and the Amish ways. Leona's fiancé, the deacon's son, is alarmed when Leona decides to go after Gloria. Will Leona's dearest wish lead to her own undoing?
I am so glad you stopped in with me today my friends. I hope you have a great week!
Stitching and praying,
Vickie

Glad to hear that the headaches receded for a brief respite, at least! I really love those owls.... very cute! And I like Beverly Lewis' books too! Hugs!
Your owls are just too darn cute. I had great plans to start the SAL, but somehow, my life is faster than my fingers. LOL
Glad to hear there's been some respite from the headaches. We've been in the 70's all last week, then shot up to 95 today. Yuk.

I love those owls!! They are fantastic! So nice that you had some cooler temps so no headaches. it's too bad the heat brings them on again. :( When are you getting your botox treatments? I hope insurance has come through?

Oh Vickie, these owls are so so cute. Your first finish for the monthly shelf.
I hope that the weather will get cooler again very soon at your place so that the headaches will vanish again.
Hello dear Vickie,
Your owls are so beautiful, this finish is great!
Mmmm, I hope cooler temps will be there again soon ...
I love the books over B. Lewis, The Guardian is lying here to be read (library). I haven't read the one you told us about either. That will come ;)
Have a good day, my friend. May the weather be gentle for you ...
Hugs, Carolien
P.S. André will have to be operated, he has a double groin rupture (I hope this is correct English but I'm not sure, grins). The other 'pain things' will have to wait, first an operation.
I am happy to read you are experiencing a little break with the headaches and good luck with the trials of getting that botox treatment. Your owls are adorable; what sweet designs are in this SAL.
How fantastic your headaches have taken a sub 75 degree sabbatical. :-) Autumnal weather here we come!
