Random thoughts and scenes from my life - past, present and future - and the most important things to me: my family, my friends and my love of crochet!
Justin and PopPop enjoying the fireworks on July 3. In one of the videos below, you can hear Justin shouting "Purple! Purple!" He wanted purple fireworks!
Hi Jeannie!!! Love that smile in the first photo!!.. and he sounds so CUTE too! We saw some fireworks ourselves on Friday, but the show definitely seemed shorter this year, compared to others, so it was a little disappointing. We are thinking MAYBE we'll go to another showing, elsewhere, tonight, depending how everybody's schedules agree or not. I'm crossing my fingers we can!.. Hoping you're enjoying your holiday weekend! Happy 4th to you and yours!! ((hugs)) ~tina
I picked up a nice skein of cotton yarn I had on hand here in a beautiful creamy French Vanilla color. I fashioned two round ripple washcloths from it. One has some front post stitches in the repeats to give it a nice nubby texture. My brothers and sisters and I got together today, working at my father's house. I can't believe it's already over a year since he's gone. My test kit came in the mail yesterday - the one I ordered from the National Bone Marrow Donor Registry. It was simple enough to do - I received 4 swabs and swabbed the inside of my cheek in 4 locations. The swabs were then inserted into a cover, and I mailed the swabs out today. I think it says it takes about 4-6 weeks until they notify you that you have been added to the registry. Wouldn't it be a miracle if they find I am a match for my sweet sister-in-law?
I've been struggling again with depression. I've decided to try talk therapy in addition to medication. My days have been filled with tears and with an overwhelming sadness for many months now. I hope that the new medications and the therapy will make a big change in me. My singular joy in life has been visiting with my grandson. I haven't picked up a crochet hook in ages, with the exception of those chemo caps I promised to my sister in law. I finished them and sent them on their way. I will update this post with photos of the finished caps. Please forgive me for not posting on a regular basis. I do enjoy writing and miss blogging. Please keep me in your prayers, good friends.
