Relaxed and calm....

I had a really wonderful relaxing weekend. Some shopping, some knitting, some hotel time (kids were staying at the house and I needed to get away), some time with close friends, and had I known the hotel had a swimming pool and a hot tub I would have stuck in a bathing suit. I figured they probably frowned on skinny dipping. Not that I would have done that but....which brings me to the realization that I'm going to be over 59 in a few months and there's a whole list of things I haven't done yet. Probably most of them aren't good for me but shucky-darn you never know. Oh well perhaps a subject for another post. Back to my week-end--it could not have been better. And Richard had a great time at Bryan's so we were both in a contented stupor Sunday afternoon!

I've got to take some pictures of FO's, I've finished a couple things lately, the scarf and the Heartbeat Sweater.

Just two more weeks in the boot then I hope I'm well. I decided a few days ago I was tired of having a broken leg and it was time for it to heal. So I put down the crutches and started walking on it-in the boot of course. It gets tired and I rest and I've become good at asking total strangers to hold my hand and help me down steps! Actually I've always talked to strangers. One can develop lasting friendships while standing in long lines--post office, UPS, voting, entry competition place at State Fair, etc.

I got home from work about 5:00pm and Rich wasn't here. By 6:30 I was worried and had called a couple people looking for him and I decided to get in the car and go look for him. He likes to walk and he's not getting lost (yet) but he's going farther and farther away. Last week he walked the 5 miles from our house to my office downtown. I'd just put the key in the ignition when a van honking loudly pulled up in front of the house and the driver yelled "I've got something that belongs to you" and he got out. I'm looking at some adult day care places to put him. They are expensive and it's scary and I also feel like I'm taking away his freedom and reducing his quality of life, but who knows? he might love it there?! It's going to reduce the quality of my life too now that I think about it. Have you ever wondered why you were born? In the Bible it says that we were "knit" in our mother's womb for a specific purpose and you just gotta think "hmmmm?". toodles
