Thank God for Friends and Family

My family in Portland:  Our four year old with her mommy, checking out the chickens.  Will they get cats or chickens/???

With the awesome oil cloth fabric Eithne bought me in Ireland forever ago, I have made two cat pouches with Velcro.

These can  hold playing cards, little toys, anything actually and I love them so much.  Look at the little tabs I bought on sale a while back.  So cute!!

My girl took a flower/fabric class with her friend the other day...

Pressing flowers from  her own garden onto pre-treated fabric.

Potholders continue to fly out the door as everyone is so very nice here...Just finished these 6:

So much fun to incorporate the saved selvedges.

I swear being old is like being in the amusement park or the circus!!!!!  Everyday, something new.

This morning PT on my  painful adductor muscles that hurt when I walk.  Torture.

The PT told me that their favorite saying is:

Is it better to negotiate with a terrorist or a therapist???

The answer of course is a terrorist is more forgiving..

Spent the night in pain; spent the morning in massage and heat and electrodes at PT.

I felt so much better that tonight I decided to sweep the kitchen floor for my friends tomorrow.

I know that they say they come to visit me, not my apartment....However....

This is the last time I  try that, as the broom and pan are on the floor still.

  I lost my balance without the cane and fell.

Lucky me caught myself on the kitchen sink, not on the floor.  I am sore but graterful...

The reality of being ancient is becoming more present in my mind...and all the new challenges every day.

My kitchen floor is still dirty; I have nothing broken on my body.

The days are going so fast...The summer is almost over...Unbelievable.  Every day I sit outside on my patio and read.  Today, I finished a great book called, HORSE.  

Tomorrow, I start a new , overdue library book...one of Hazel Gaynor's, I think.

My daughter comes to visit me next week for a few days.  Grateful...Very...She always lifts my spirits and she loves to sew.

She is just a terrific 

daughter.
