    Carol - Glad things went well with the knee! I hope you are able to get some pain free rest this evening.

    Carol - Glad you're home and it went well! Ice will be your best friend for a while, and moving more every day, as much as you can. You'll do great!

    Katiebug - love that living room.

    Ginger - I now have goat envy...

    Bad sinus headache... Weather coming in, it will pass along with the storm.

    Love y'all,

    Dr. said the knee replacement surgery went great. Went in for admissions at 5:30 and arrived home again at 3:30. Many hours of just plain waiting to be moved from one spot to another. I am icing and inclining the knee and using the walker. Biggest worry is potential blood clots and opening up the lungs for good breathing.

    Glad to hear it went well. From my own experience with blood clots, try to get up and move at least once an hour.

    Carol so glad you've got the surgery behind you, keep on icing, resting, and moving.

    Allie the grown up man who got fired had his father call the office ???? yeeeesh

    Katie love the rug, ties everything together. We're looking at a few small reno projects as well, our budget can only stretch so far, so we choose our projects like you, gotta prioritize and do as much DIY as we can.

    Tomorrow is my last day of work before a week off, phew am I happy about that. Today was a beautiful sunny day, I felt so happy to just feel the sun beaming down on my face. :)

    I have made my friend who owns the stable very angry & don’t know what to do about it. I was supposed to participate in a work party at a local park with her and others, but DH had a bad spell and begged me to say home with him. I felt as though I had an impossible situation and that DH had to come first. I’m sorry that I couldn’t attend, and sorrier that she is mad. Any advice on repairing the friendship would be welcome.

    :) It's so hard to choose between your husband's needs and your commitment to your friend at the stable. Take time to tell her how sorry you are to have been unable to help her, but your husband's needs had to come first. Then let go of any expectations and be prepared for her to stay angry. Angry people often see only their own side of any situation.

    :)Carol Congrats on getting through the surgery and taking the first steps to follow directions for the recovery protocol.

    :)Ginger, I love the goats.

    :)Rebecca, Great list and great reminder for us all.

    :)Michele, Your ceramic painting is always beautiful. What a great hobby for you.

    11 days off has begun!! I love it when ANZAC Day is this close to Easter. :):)

    Still lots to do, but no work or university.


    I've had to be up early today :unamused: but I've sat at my table overlooking the bay and lingered over coffee for a long time.

    Rebecca – when we moved to NC we rented 5 storage units, moved a truckload at a time from PA, moved here, found a home, and moved from the storage units to the house.

    Vicki – genius taking a selfie (not)

    Wish I could go for a walk, but I don’t think I’ll have time. We need to eat dinner early and then hopefully pick up Loki’s medicine and then go to ceramics. Tonight need to stop at Lowes Foods.

    Carol – glad to hear the surgery went well.

    Barbie – I don’t know what it is, but ceramics is so very relaxing to me. One part of me thinks it may have to do with being able to enjoy the finished product. But I can enjoy a quilt, but to me that just isn’t relaxing at all. But ceramics is Oh, I think my PigPen (Peanuts character) will be ready to be fired Monday. Then I’ll work on Snoopy and at the same time Charlie Brown since Snoopy is really just black and white. That should go quite fast.

    Bev – I showed this one guy at ceramics tonight a picture of my frog and he asked where I got the pinwheel stake. He at first was surprised when I told him “the dollar store”.

    Pip – I was looking forward to learning to use the ski machine at the Y, but by the time I wanted to, they’d gotten rid of it. I’m suspecting that’s because very few people were using it. Didn’t you leave your YMCA?

    Hi Gals,
    Kind is a great thing. It is easy to get over involved in your own space and forget to look up, reach out - sometimes just a smile is the kindest thing.

    Allie – So glad to hear that the office felt so good without him, and I’m sorry but he had his daddy call???? Grow up!

    Katiebug – the livingroom looks great, and I love the idea of one room at a time.

    Carol – so glad to see you back posting so soon!

    The weather has gone to completely gorgeous – and the weeds are celebrating by growing !!! I think some have grown 4 or 5 inches overnight!!!

    I saw a sign on a board outside a church years ago. It said,”If in doubt be kind”. Such a simple concept but what a difference a bit of kindness can make.

    Betsy in NW Washington

    I'm also on a kind kick lately. Kindness is a lost art. The fruits of the spirit are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, thankfulness, and self-control, "against such things there are no laws." One of my colleagues pointed out that 'being right' is not one of the fruits. So many times we exchange being right for being kind.

    Hey, Tracey, that sounds great! A steep learning curve, but that's just learning stuff, which can be a fun challenge and it sounds as if the knowledge would be useful to have anyway. :D I'm rooting for you. <3

    Looking forward to seeing Edie. Got to do our exercises first as the family are all going to the dentist and she will be dropped off around 11. :bigsmile:

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxx

    Good morning everyone,
    Started my day off right with some Zumba.

    Thank you to “ Johicks” for posting their recipe of the “No Bake Fake” I’m making it today. I’m a snacker so this will be a good treat for me.

    Elizabeth turns out Notre-Dame was an accident due to renovation project.

    I like to think whatever the reason the building is a symbol of the faith. The faith itself will survive whatever disasters are thrown at it. For me the flower I painted was my belief that even in the midst of horrible disasters I can find beauty. This is the theme of the film Life is Beautiful.

    Also in the following poem:

    I believe in the sun even when it is not shining;
    I believe in love even when feeling it not;
    I believe in God even when he is silent.

    — An inscription on the wall of a cellar in Cologne where a number of Jews hid themselves for the entire duration of the war.

    We sang a version of this poem in our choir.

    Margaret - my choir has sung two beautiful versions of this. "Even when God is Silent" - so incredibly powerful, and "I Believe" - has a beautiful soprano obligato over the middle line of the poem. I sang the obligato. The last stanza is a solo that my then 14 year old daughter sang. Not a dry eye left in the church.

    There are many gorgeous places of faith representing many faiths in our world. I'm so glad Notre Dame has been ruled a construction accident. I feel horrible for the person or persons who accidently may have started this blaze. You are correct; faith will survive.

    My sister and I are still trying to figure out what to do with my mom's finances. Ultimately, we may have to sell her house. Mom can't work her little part-time job since her stroke. Her social security check is too small to cover all expenses. But I keep my head up and try to power on. Physically, mom is doing great, but returning to work just isn't happening.

    Good day though...I lost 2.5 lbs since last week.
