A Belated Birthday



My sister, Quinta's birthday is July 3rd. We had planned a gathering in Southern Utah for her birthday the end of June. Before the day arrived, Quinta fell and broke her hip.

We - minus Corrin and Janice - gathered at the Coral Desert Rehabilitation Center the first part of August and had Quinta'a 79th birthday celebration.

Janice (that's me) Quinta and LuDeen.











LuDeen makes the best rhubarb/strawberry pies and she had one in honor of Quinta's birthday.
















Eric provided beautiful sing-along accompaniment and we all enjoyed singing - something that Quinta really loves.

This is a dress I made for Quinta, at her request, from a shawl one of her grandchildren brought to her from India. It took a bit of figuring but Quinta had drawn out how she thought it would work out and I sewed it up for her. Before her eyesight left her, she was a wonderful seamstress and made many beautiful things herself.
