Hello friends, I am back again? I am redhead....

[redhead]

My name is redhead and back in 2013 or 14... I discovered I had cancer!
At that time we were exchanging names and crocheting 6" inch squares, and mailing them to the names we were assigned. I really enjoyed that so much . But I didn't know what my life was going to be like, so I dropped out.... and left Crochettalk . (I had a great deal of squares by that time) .
I went to the Hux Cancer Center for treatments. They are an excellant group of Doctors and nurses. I only had to have radiation treatments. I went thru all of them with flying colors.... no nausea or bad time getting thru all of it. I had also a lymptectomy . I am cancer free today. Thank God!

On February 15, 2021, I had my 90th birthday! I am doing well for my age I guess. I have a walker and a cane but don't use them.
My only problem now is scolioses (sp) It is finally taking it's toll on me I get tired quickly when I walk too much MY BACK GIVES OUT AND I NEED TO SIT DOWN I do still drive but am about ready to say "enough driving for me".

I want to get back into Crochettalk!!! I am trying to get rid of a lot of stuff and I ran across the BIG box of the squares I got from all those names! I WENT THRU AND TOOK EVERY SQUARE OUT OF THE ENVELOPES keeping the notes from each of you including some patterns some of you sent with your squares. THANK YOU for all the squares! I am keeping all the envelopes with addresses on them.
I have never used a blocking board but bought one so I need to know how to block a LOT OF SQUARES!!!! some of them are slightly smaller and some are slightly larger than the 6 inch we were supposed to make. I am not griping...if I have to add a row to the small ones, I will gladly do it.
I bet I have enough squares to make more than one afghan.... I haven't counted them...yet! I had sewed a folded piece of ribbon on a lot of them with the name of who sent it to me. But there is a lot more that just have a paper tag. Not sure how to handle those yet.

Since I last talked to you, I lost My middle son to a hit-n-run. He has been caught and is still in jail awaiting sentencing. John was hit on July 18, 2019 and died on July 22, 2019. He had just married the girl of his dreams in May, not quite 2 months married. I have a wonderful daughter-in law that I love very much. They were living in Arkansas.
He was 59, he would have been 60 on December23, 2019.

I am going thru a lot of pictures that I am putting on my walls( 13 big frames so far) for family history and there are a lot of John at different stages of his life, so as I run across them it makes me spend time crying. I don't know how to stop and get over it. I guess I never will.

I need to quit writing and tell you all that I l LOVE all of you. Specially all of my old friends on crochettalk.
