Weekends

 

Thank you so very much for your kind words and encouraging comments. I called the office late Friday afternoon and was told 'no further treatment' is necessary from the coronary CT scan. I am feeling better and my body is adjusting to the new (three's a charm) blood pressure medicine. By mid June I will have a follow up appointment with a cardiologist closer to home and during that visit I will get the nitty-gritty of what all the cardio test results mean. I have a multitude of questions.

Thank you again - I am humbled by our little blogging community and the space we share. 

Did your SEE that first photo??? Like crazy grandparents we drove three hours (one way to Columbus Ohio) for a lunch date with our son and daughter in law to spend some short time with our grandson yesterday. Oh the happiness!! He is a joyful baby, how lucky am I?? 

On Saturday, I did lots of watercoloring, sketching, reading and basically chilling out. 

How was your weekend?

    YAY for baby time. That's great you're only three hours away. Good to read about your health update. Your watercolor is very nice.
    Yesterday we drove up to the city to celebrate my grandmother's 99th birthday. Asian fare and one heck of a Derby Cake from the famous Mazetti's. She was pleased.

    I can see myself doing the 4 hour drive to Boston fairly often to see my grandaughter once she arrives in August. I totally understand your trip. Glad to hear that no further treatment is needed following the CT scan. Your watercolor is pretty.

    I am so happy you have good news from the cardiologist. I don't think you are crazy grandparents at all - just loving ones making the most of a weekend. The plants are so pretty.

    I know that feeling of joy, however long the drive to see the face of a beloved grandchild. Hope the new medication helps and that you get all the answers to your questions. Love the watercolour.

    Hi Karen,
    ...we finally got to visit with our son by flying to New Mexico to see him...no grandbabies this time...but I'd totally fly or drive just about any distance to see them...Japan is still not allowing visitors so this will likely be our only chance to see him this year...
    ...so glad you got to snuggle with your little one...
    ~Have a lovely day!

    Karen, such wonderful news about your cardio! I'm so glad no further action is needed and that you will be monitored by a cardiologist. I love the picture of you with your grandson. We have had happy news as well, we are going to be grandparents! Our daughter is due January 2nd, although she is hoping for a Christmas baby, LOL! We are over the moon. xo

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than

Knitting News

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
