Good Sunday morning,
I slept!!! I slept well!!! I woke up just one time, rolled over and went back to sleep. I got 7 hours of good sleep and so far this morning feel so much better than the past two days. Such a blessing. Sometimes a good life is just a bit better!
LOIS - My laundry basket is overflowing, too. I suppose I could just get a second basket . . . The house isn't too bad, Bill does a little and I do a bit here and there. And our new little housekeeper is coming back on Wednesday. She is so good! I hope you finish your house uglies quickly so you can go make a mess in your sewing room.
LORI - why can't Jonathon fly? I wish he could come home for a visit. It's been a long time since you've seen him. You will eventually conquer water color painting. My faith in you will not be shaken. But the videos sure make it look easy, don't they. Do you sketch the picture first? And yep! I'm gimpy. But so far today - not as gimpy as the last two days, so maybe call me Half-Gimpy.
CHRISS, Grandmother of The Walking One - This is going to be an exciting year with Elliott. They learn and change so much in this year. I hope you get to visit often. Very sweet of you to acknowledge the hospital staff. Unfortunately that gratitude doesn't usually trickle down to the staff that actually cared for you. So a note to the CCU staff themselves is always appreciated. Or 3 (for 3 shifts) containers of cookies, doughnuts, candy, muffins, etc. If you do an edible thank you, make sure to label the shifts and tape them closed because those greedy gusses on days and evenings will gobble it all up! Signed, Mary, R.N., Hungry Night Shifter
LYN - Are you excited to hit the road to Texas? Is it possible, if you can't leave your MH plugged in, to leave it at one of your brothers homes? I suppose you could leave it at the Fairgrounds campground in Longmont though you'd have to pay (I think about $25/nite) for the site you leave it in (A Row is for the big rigs). But it might not be very secure. Sketchy folks do haunt that cg sometimes.
JANA - 4# 4oz is pretty hefty for a 28 weeker. Are they certain of dates? Little Zion is acting more like a 32 weeker! His family must be very grateful for all the blessings that have come with him. BTW, what is his middle name? I'm trying to think what might go with Zion. Have to say, I really like the name Zion. It's kinda cool!
FLO - I'm sorry for your friends' friends. Some families are like that, sadly.
JUDI - I'd like to be walking your Applefest with you. But that ain't happening any time soon. Maybe next year?? What kind of shoes do you wear to walk? A good walking shoe makes all the difference. Did you make any more progress on The Quilt yesterday? A bummer about the Mariners game. Kind of rude of the Tigers to beat us in our own house!! The big news here is more about the traffic in Seattle because of 3 big games (football, baseball, soccer) and the cruise ships that are docked in town. They figure an extra 210,000 people will be swarming downtown Seattle today. Glad I'm across the Sound in little Gig Harbor.
MARY Q - just in case you poke your head in tonite when you get home - HOWDY! Hope your weekend was nice and relaxing. Was it a big family 'do' or just you visiting your DB and SIL?
I bailed on Bill yesterday. I just couldn't walk without a cane and since it was a trip to help our friends and not a visiting trip, I decided I'd be more of a hindrance. So I let Bill go by himself. But I did send a big jar of soup. I stayed home and 'gimped' around the house: straightened up the pantry, restocked it from our back pantry, and then straightened up that pantry. Then I washed a big basket of blocks to start stocking a toy box for Amara's visit. Then I wrapped gifts for our upcoming Hallowthanksmas gathering. It took me all day to do all this because about every half hour I sat down for 15 minutes. We'll get the fake tree up later this week, I think. Lee & Lara fetched it from Drew yesterday.
Bill is going to an RV show with L&L today so I will have a second day all to myself. I think Lois has talked me into doing laundry. I might turn on some football since the TV is close to the laundry cubby. Though I think I'll save the taped Seahawk game for when Bill gets home. And maybe I'll work on my flying geese for KTVC.
https://www.shabbyfabrics.com/p206103/a ... gLd1fD_BwE Several of us are working on this pattern, or have it in our future plans. Just in case those who aren't are wondering what KTVC is, I hopefully have provided a quick pic of it. (I'm pretty computer-downright-stupid so I might not have.) So those rows of flying geese are my current project.
have a great Sunday! Enjoy whatever you choose to do!
