Home From Myrtle Beach

By -

What a wonderful week away! We spent plenty of quality time as a family and had lots of fun. My grandson loved the pool - the water in the ocean was a bit too cold yet, but even I officially dipped my toes in the ocean.

My niece's wedding at Brookegreen Gardens was lovely! Such a beautiful place. I wish her and her new husband many many happy years together.

The bad news is that we are back to work tomorrow.

Below is a photo of the shawl I made - it came in handy as a quick rainstorm came through and it was good to have something to throw over my shoulders.

    Hi Jeannie! Your time in Myrtle Beach sounds wonderful, and I love the beautiful shawl you made! I'm wondering if I might make a shawl for my daughter's wedding, which is set for August. I'm wearing a sleeveless black dress, and don't expect the temps should drop too low for that time of year, but I still can get cold very easily; so if the church, or the reception hall is running the air conditioner(s) too high for my liking, a shawl or shrug may be necessary... Anyways, hope you had a very Happy Easter! I cooked up a big dinner for the family today, and now I'm looking at a very big mess to clean up! Right or wrong, I'm thinking most of it can wait till morning! (0; Yup.. Tomorrow morning sounds like a very idea to me! ((hugs)) ~tina

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.

Mystery Destination Was...

The Poconos! The surprise was blown (at least to my thinking) when I turned on the GPS to start out our trip. Up pops the address! Of course, it didn't tell DH where we were staying but it did tell him we were headed for East Stroudsburg PA! Dang! He was thinking we were headed for the Jersey shore. Then the GPS took us on a trip! I thought it would put us on the PA turnpike, taking the northeast extension. Wrong! It actually sent us up the NJ side of the Delaware River. So it was an adventure for both of us. We stayed at the Fernwood Hotel and Resort. I'd read excellent reviews and also some very bad reviews on the place. I was hesitant to book it, but it was the most reasonably priced lodging with availability on such short notice. There were restaurants on the grounds and lots to do in the resort and the surrounding area. We arrived at 10:00 pm on Friday to discover that the king accommodations we reserved in the hotel proper were not available, due to service ...
