Can't stand it...have to have one... here are some combination of the possible pattern, however, I think I am going to go for a more traditional process of matching up 2 sets for each block. What do you think?

A first birthday, thankfullness and joy
My daughter asked me, what do I think of when it is her birthday. After reflecting on this...I can say that when I think of my children on their birthdays that:
I am thankful for them, for the joy they have brought and bring me, for their individual strengths and weaknesses. Joy is too tame a word for the feeling that they evoke in me.
But I remember wonderful moments in pregnancy, in delivery, in their development that enhance the of love and fulfillment that each brought to me. I look at them now as adults and am thankful they chose spouses who complement their gifts and reflect their love for my child by their devotion to them.

Family Docs
The following paragraphs are about my health and looking for a good doc. You are welcome not to read them. But I have been encouraged by the field of medical practices finding out that a long time friend's son is in a family practice in the middle of the nation, and that my ride-share commuting partner is about to finish his first year in school, and plans to open a family practice here in Southwest VA.
I am experimenting with a new doc. for me. Ron has been going to him for some time. And was referred to the doc after it was determined that the old ceiling tiles Ron took out of his office, were really asbestos containing and he was required to have a check up. You know Ron, he liked the doc and told them he would not put his clothes on and leave until the doc agreed to take him as a new patient. This doc had closed his practice to new comers...but gauging Ron's determination decided to take him with the caveat no kids, no wife! Ron sees the doc maybe once a year.
For myself, I have been happy with my blood specialist from the beginning. I schedule my appointments at the end of the day. Once my blood counts stabilized, I have been an easy keeper for the doc. We spend more time finding out how his kids are doing and what project I am working on after going through my blood work.
Just before I quit working in Giles, my family practitioner's husband was relocated for a job and she closed her practice, so I floated through numerous local clinics. In my disgust over another year of rushing in and out of a dr's office and no one listening -I asked Ron if he thought there was anyway I could get in to see his doc. So while I was in Baton Rouge visiting Erica, Kent, Dean and Jack the call came. " When you get home, call and make an appointment."
So a week ago Friday I did the blood work, Monday I did some of the tests...I made a list of all the complaints...and with the suggestions and recommendations, and prescription provided I think I may have found someone I feel is listening. There were a number of suggestions outside areas that I had considered, there were confirmations of things I had researched and believed to be true and needing to be addressed. I cannot tell you how relieved I am to have finally found someone who is listening to me, valued my observations, and made suggestions that seem sensible.

Spring and sundry
I took the dogs to the Vet this morning...and came home to a house with open windows. It is 74 degrees with lovely breezes flowing through. The birds are busy singing.
Floors are clean, thank you micro fleece dusting and wet mopping. Rugs are vacuumed.
And all this to be able to walk barefooted, what a luxury.
I have been able to watch the play of shadows across the area that is to become the front drive and lawn. Azaleas are definitely a must for that front...but I think we have some good areas for grass! Of course three weeks from now and once all the trees are leaved out...maybe there will be larger pools of azaleas and swirls of daffodils.
As much as I love tulips, the seven I have in the yard have never bloomed, the blooms are nipped by the deer before they mature..maybe if I surround them in daffodils?
