I left Providence on Thursday morning...leaving Ellen feeling worse than she felt when I got there. Fortunately she didn't have to go back to the ER. She went to the school infirmary where she found out she has bronchitis on top of all of the other things she had. She's on the mend now and I'm glad I was able to get up there to take care of her for a few days.
We had a beautiful view of the capital building from our suite. I was thoroughly impressed with the Biltmore and highly recommend it to anyone who will find themselves in need of a room in Providence!
I have to admit, the highlight of my trip (aside from spending time with Ellen, of course!) was meeting Amy. She is a genuine, kind, sweet person. After we had tea/coffee and the boys had treats, she volunteered to take me on a tour of the area. I jumped at the chance. Grace fell asleep in her car seat, Vaughan sat in the back, reading the book I brought him, (what a smart little boy he is!) and Nicholas was very patient when he wanted to go home and eat dinner, but Amy still had to take me back to my car. Thank you so much for taking time out of your very busy day to come and meet me! I hope we can get together again!
I have finished the label for my Bears in the Farmhouse quilt and we're heading out shortly to meet our friend Will, who I made the quilt for. I emailed Catherine, the founder of Quilts of Valor and she's added this quilt to their numbers. It's such a wonderful organization and she seemed grateful that I participated. I encourage you all to make a quilt for Quilts of Valor if you can!

Wow, is Grace giving you the hairy eyeball or what?! Such a funny picture. I had a great time meeting you. It's so nice to talk to an adult! And not have to hijack the telemarketer just to get some decent conversation. ;) Vaughan LOVES the book you gave him, I mean loves, he's so into writing down the details in the dive journal and trying to figure out the puzzle.
I'm sorry Ellen is sick again! I used to get bronchitis every semester, but then that was back in the day when they let people smoke in dorm rooms...
I got sick a lot at first when I was down in Atlanta for college. poor ellen, hope she gets better again soon.
I do hope that Ellen is truly on the road to good health now. Poor girl. Summer break will soon be nearing...and she can get back to Mom's good cooking and caretaking.
Love that you're quite the traveling woman these days! Do enjoy Chicago! I can't wait to see the sites through your cam lens.
Safe travels, Carolyn!
Boy, what an awful time to get sick -- I hope Ellen's finals weren't affected. Hope you have a great time in Chicago!
Glad to hear Ellen will be ok. I do hope you enjoyed your trip. I just wanted to stop by get caught up with you and say hi.
