As I've been telling people for decades "If you can thread a needle and count to 10, you can do this!" Also, if you have a HobLob near you, they have an astonishing amount of kits. (I got the kit for Mason Jar Lineup at the HobLob in Niagara Falls New York in the summer of 2014. I had been seeing it on numerous cross stitching FBook pages and it looked so pretty.

Hi, I am back from the party - HRH always tells people, "and I mean party as in nap".

Thank you for the anniversary wishes. HRH told all the nurses and doctor that he got me a (delightful procedure) for my anniversary. He went into the healthy foods place and through the buffet, finding several of my favorites plus mini cheesecake. A nice quiet lunch when we got home, not too adventurous as doctor had told us. I think it was just about right. Raspberry cheesecake about 2 inches round was all I needed. Long nap - not a surprise.

Awakened to delivery of roses, which was lovely but took a long time to manage because he asked me to email all the children to let them know how I was, and that maybe they wanted to see a photo of the roses. lol. Asking a perfectionist to stage a photo of a bouquet and compose a letter. Does he remember who he married? I understand, though, he wants them to hear from me and feel good about things, not think negatively. And dr says maybe no activities/visits until Sun afternoon at least. They were pleased to hear from me.

Dd27 was on a flight home from NYCity and sent photos back of enjoyment there - ice cream cones from night street vendor, some of her co-workers that are in those offices instead of here, etc. View from morning train into workplace, a cathedral. Happy she is having experience, yet the safe flight home is what I care about.

Twins', it made me think of your dd.

blessed, you found me in my hiding place! An eventful day for your household - addition is in the works.

((Ramblin')), how unfair! Stomping my foot for you at the CovidAgain. So glad it's not too bad, maybe. I thought that was a strange reply, too. Most people I heard from had the impression they did better with the med, was what the dr wanted for them if possible. Oh, well. Keep getting better!

Kittykatt, are you thinking of an upright freezer to save floorspace or a chest freezer? We probably need to have this on our future list, too, because space is at a premium in kitchen.

Cathy, I would have fun linking to those two in A, C and Needlework. If I get the wrong one on the other piece, you can correct me. And you can tell us all about how you've enjoyed making them.

Mystery, I understand this is in the fine print right now, . But if you do have creativity thoughts, please share in A, C and Needlework. We are interested in the pondering. We're all pondering, which is a significant part, really. The pondering is how we know we are giving those little gray cells their exercise and fun.
