New Friends, etc

Yesterday the weather was 72 and sunny.  Last night it was 35 and snowing...Big fat white flakes...amazing...Guess winter is here.

Above, my girl makes an apron for her girl to use while harvesting eggs..See the pockets :)

Below a new friend of mine made me a crochet bowl...

Our 10 year old family cat , Stitch, now lives in Portland with my daughter.  Here, Stitch meets Bock-Bock...hmmm

Below Stitch meets Rosie...hmmm Rosie wants to play, our Stitch holds his own.

I am not blogging because I am not sewing.  I am 6 months into recoup for  my hip replacement ...doing well, but not fast enough!! I saw the shoulder surgeon last week.  He said the shoulder has to be replaced.  It is in very bad shape.  He refuses to do it until my hernia is repaired...My Oh My...is old age fun!!!  I will be looking at two more surgeries in the upcoming future.  

I ordered some sale fat quarters on Spoonflower...What else would a woman do to cheer her day???

Sewing friends drop by tomorrow...Wednesdays at 11 am for lunch...in our Bistro...new/old friends Welcome.  My tiny, one bedroom apartment with a lovely patio has no dining table and no sofa...What it does have is bookcase after bookcase of what is left of my fabric collection of 60 years.

Yesterday I was strong enough to update my driver's license and get my real ID.  I got an appointment in two days.  I took my passport and mail and old driver's license etc, etc.   I asked where the handicapped seating was...It was empty but for me.  In five minutes I was called up...no eye test, no written test...just important paperwork to prove I was legit....out in 20  minutes...OMG  A miracle in North Carolina.  It is good for 5 years since I am considered old...ha ha ha ha ha  I have not driven in at least 8 months...Wahoo...a new teenager...World, I am back!!!

All is well today.  Leaves are changing; Weather is changing and I am not what I used to be... 

Sunday, my great DIL brought all my grands to visit.  They picked up things dropped on the floor and took me to dinner....Mexican is  always my favorite since I grew up in Phoenix.

Life is mostly good.  Friends are great.

My hope is that all of you enjoy the life too xo
