I started this blog in 2009 to keep folk up to date on my husband's melanoma treatments. I have kept up daily blogs for 16 years…sometimes health related...sometimes just daily routine. 6/16/24 Woody took his final breath in his long health battle. I have blogged for so long that it is part of my daily routine…so I guess I will continue with posts from me about how I cope with this new stage in my life…widowhood.

Flag Day 2025
This morning I decided that I wanted to finish stitching the Christmas ornament I was currently working on...and, I did. This afternoon I made a marinated veggie salad...lots of slicing and dicing. It is in the refrigerator letting the flavors meld before it can be enjoyed. I just got the dishes loaded and the dishwasher running. I still have a few dishes to do by hand, but for the most part I am through in the kitchrn for today. I did do a Saturday vacuum spiffing in a couple of rooms. I filed the papers that were in a stack on my sewing cutting table...so the table is just about cleared of non-sewing items. I serged the edges of some linen for some more cross stitch ornaments. I am planning on putting a strip of linen on a small cross stitch stand I have...it holds a small roller frame...that way the fabric will be taut as I stitch and I can stitch with "two hands." I can have my dominant a hand on each side of the frame and can stitch a little easier than when I stitch holding the fabric in my hand...perhaps it will speed up the process...which should help me finish the number of ornaments that I have to finish. I would like to stitch other things than Christmas at some point during the rest of the year! I am going to baste the linen to the scroll bars this evening. To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious! Oh, yesterday my rain gauge measured 2.2 inches of rain! We have "only" had a little rain today!
