Albertsons of Northern Kentucky: February 2026

Emily here, catching up for my mother (from her perspective) about the month of February.
[Janet Albertson passed away and went to be with Jesus on March 20, 2026.]

Feb. 1 - We stayed home from church and watched online, as I was in too much pain.

Feb. 3 - the Stetlers stopped by in the afternoon for a visit.

Feb. 4 - I had more energy and worked on the borders of Elizabeth's quilt for 1 hr. (I started the quilt in Dec, and have been working on it since then in little bits when I felt up to it.)

Feb. 5 - my pain from the bone cancer was increasing every day it seemed.
Worked on the quilt from my recliner.

Sis. Hill from church and her neighbor Jessica stopped by with some pumpkin bread.
Sis. Hill gave me this African Violet when we first moved to KY 9.5 years ago, and it's still doing well!

Elizabeth ordered this photo tile for a special Valentine's gift for Rowen and me. Emily took this picture at Christmas time of us.

Feb. 6 - I finished piecing the quilt top, complete with borders!

Dr. Stephen Gibson passed away January 31. Elizabeth went to his funeral in Indiana on Feb. 7th, and spoke at it. She stayed with our friend, Felicia Staley.

Feb 8 - Elizabeth (or Emily when she's home) combs my hair every morning for me since September.
They remind me often that it's their privilege since I combed their hair for them for years when they were young!

Feb. 8 - Emily flew home to be with us a little over a week. So thankful she felt led to come home during this time. We didn't know it then but it was the last visit I'd have with her.

Sunday afternoon, our sweet friends Judy Southerland and Regina Stetler visited for a little while to check on me and share some cheer.

Sweet ladies!

Feb 9 - Emily spent the day with me while Rowen and Elizabeth both had appts. We rested, played some games, and talked.

In the evening, we watched Sea Breeze Camp service together.

Feb 10 - Elizabeth and Emily matching

Elizabeth and Rowen cut the backing fabric for the quilt.

I went downstairs a few times this week with much rest in between, to monitor Emily while she did the quilting for me since I wasn't up to it.

Rowen and Elizabeth went on a walk. We had been having 3 weeks of sub-freezing with quite a bit of snow, but then it finally warmed up and the snow started melting.

Feb 11 - continued progress on the quilt. Emily did all the quilting except for a couple little spots where I wrote words. God gave me strength to stand long enough for that.
