I started this blog to keep folk up to date on my husband's melanoma treatments. I have kept up daily blogs for 15 1/2 years…sometimes health related...sometimes just daily routine. June 16th 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.

Beryl Paid Us a Little Visit
The blog website is being cantankerous once again. It took me forever to convince it to post a photo and I just chose one at random. I think that it is my coral bell plant...which WAS so pretty...but some critter...probably a deer...has eaten it all but the stems. It has been a nice day. I got up and did some sewing first thing...sewing up the little pillows and then stuffed them. My last task is to sew the bottom opening, though which I stuffed them, closed. I have been deciding how to use them. I headed off a little after 9am and went to the Credit Union to deposit a check and get some cash. I made a quick run to Kroger to get one item...toilet paper...not that I was out, but that there were a couple of coupons to be used which expired today. I was in and out and then headed to the church to meet Jo and Carolyn. We headed off to Manchester to check out two gift shops and then had lunch. We had, as always, a good time together. On our way home, we did run into some rain that was associated with Beryl and also most of the day has been quite breezy. I took a movie of my new spinner in my new garden at the head of the driveway. It was really spinning away. I had planned to use that movie clip for tonight's blog photo...but whatever form the video was in, my iPad didn't recognize it when I attempted to transfer it...so instead you just get a random photo tonight. We did get some rain here at the house...so I chose not to water tonight. I will water again in the morning...again...attempting to take advantage of the rain having wet the ground better than the hose can. I was pretty tired when I got home...so a nap was in store for me and when I had rested, I got back to work on my little cross stitch pillows. Of the ones that I have sewn and stuffed, I only have one more to stitch up the bottom opening. With that one I will have my summer smalls finished and ready to be put into my decorations in the living room. If I am satisfied with my efforts, tomorrow I will try to capture my efforts in a photo or two. I still have three more smalls to finish...one for Fall and two for Spring. I am tempted to put them away for another time...but...since I am on a roll doing these, it would probably be better if I just continue so they will be all ready when their season approaches. I have a piece that I want to mount on the top of a wooden box...I should continue to do that too. That would clear off my cutting table of projects. We'll see! Cheryl arrives a week from tonight...so probably should be doing something to get ready for her visit! Another...we'll see! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
