Our Elaine is growing up and moving out---she and her boyfriend of four years, Chris, looked at rentals last week and applied for a one bedroom place, a darling little Spanish style, 1920's era bungalow duplex with hardwood floors and a tiny back porch. They've been shopping for kitchen and bedroom stuff and casting about for free furniture or appliances, making plans for renting a truck next month. Yesterday they found out the place is theirs--so very exciting! We'll miss our little chick when she leaves the roost, even though she is only moving halfway across town. Love you, Lainey!
Ort: Noun, meaning a scrap; a bit. Usually plural. Words about quilting, fabric, family and life in a Southern California beach town.

aw, good luck to your daughter and her bf. I am sure they will do fine!
I am catching up and you have been busy! I love the quilts you are working on in your previous posts and the ones by Laura. I like the darker border too!
Oh, it's hard letting them move out--as if you could stop them.
However, with our DD, it was move out, then back in 3 months later, then out after a year and a half, in after 8 months, then out permanently after 4 years. I think we're called boomerang parents.
Now, when she comes to visit, I dream of having her in the same town forever, but not the same house, unless we can re-work the roles!
