Polly Esther's Hug

Yeah, Leslie. Right. And what do you think Pastor is going to say when he
walks in and I'm playing the new organ with my gator gathering tossed
stylishly across my shoulders? He's never quite recovered from the time he
had to remove my spit cup (snuff, you know) from the choir rail. Don't you
think he really needs to lighten up a bit? Polly

Thank you, Donna. I hoped you were here and would chime in. 25,000. Oh my.
How truly, very wonderful. Polly

"Donna in Idaho" wrote Check out www.projectlinus.org for info about
Project Linus. We're a
nationwide organization who has delivered way over 1,000,000 blankets in
the past 10 years. In less than a month after Katrina, our chapters made
and delivered over 25,000 blankets to children who were affected by
Katrina and/or Rita.

I'm not sure I've ever seen a happier quilt. No wonder she won't
let anyone else have it! What a lovely effort, Frood, Taria, and all
who helped on this exuberant quilt.

LOL! Glad you corrected that! I've always seen myself as more of a lemur.

And how do you know that, Diana? The middle gator is not signed. Polly

The power of a HUG is not something that can be quantified in words, is it?
We love you...and that's what it's meant to remind you.

Last night I hurriedly wrote this to Taria -
"It's here and so is life. DH had a very minor disagreement with the
chain
saw and a pecan tree limb and is finally back from the hospital ER. The
organ company delivered the replacement for the church organ destroyed by
Katrina, the neighbor learning to quilt came in with distress over her
first
trapunto queen-size quilt problems, the nice man who was going to replace
our air conditioner/heat pump showed up and a dear friend asked me to
write
the notice to be published in the obituaries at the death of her father.
My golly . . .
other than that
The hug arrived.
I will, I truly will do a thank you for the very powerful hug I
received
today and This Day just couldn't have been a better time for an old girl
who
really needed a hug."
There are thousands of words that need to be added but I have to at
least say this. I never get to see the faces of the little ones I make
Linus quilts for. Sometimes I wonder if they show the love that they are
meant to carry but I just let go and let our Kind Father take care of
that.
If you ever think that you can not do one more hug block and wonder if
it would make any difference, know in your hearts, "Oh my yes, a grand
certain yes, it does". The gathering of gators, dazzling hug that's
arrived is glorious and cherished. I just couldn't wait yesterday for the
sun to go down to see if my Polly hug could glow in the dark.
It does. It vibrates with caring and joy and hugging. Sooo excited
and grateful and hugged, Polly Esther

Gosh, Polly that is just beautiful. Thanks for the link.

"Cheryl in Oz" asked I don't seem to get all posts from my server so I
have not seen a link
to your hug.

Yaaaaaay Polly! Glad my love and hugs survived the long journey!
