It started when we are in Cambodia in July; Jordan and Hailey vacated their bed and slept next door on the floor (totally wrong, but don't let me get started on a rant about the "me-centeredness" of the trip....... -Groveites- this is something that needs to change big-time for any future trips..... broke my heart.... )Anyway, Jordan and Hailey had a lovely quilt on their bed- made by Kim, the mom of this amazing family. I may not have mentioned that the Lewis family of 8 lives so far from large towns that they must hike in to their lovely home during non rainy seasons, or take canoes if it is raining. Or just wait if it the weather is bad. Electricity by generator.
Beautiful fabrics were everywhere in this poor country - the women wore them for skirts, and we had then at every meal as table cloths and napkins. The bed was covered with a lovely quilt, so I suggested to Rachel that she might like a similar one for her bed at CBU to remind her of our trip. Kim gave me the general directions, and we purchased the fabric in Phnom Penh on the way back home. It really should not have taken me so long to complete...... boo for Meniere's!
But Yay for friends like Susan Miller. Encouraged me and saw me through many a dizzy evening when I had double vision and insecurity. Rachel texted me to say that she was warm and cozy. All is well.

Thank you for sharing this picture. It is beautiful. I love the rich vibrant colors that you used. Rachel is sure to remember her trip when she snuggles down for the evening.
What a good mother you are!

Well now you need to rant about the trip so that we actually know what you are talking about. Nothing will change if you can't voice it.
