Coming back

Friends,

  Ive been quite lately I know. Ive been busy with my hubby. He has been having a lot of medical test and so have I. I have a mamogram scheduled for the 6th of July. I have put it off for awhile and I didn't realize it. I called the doc and he told me it had been 3 years since my last one:( I cant believe it!

  Ive been working on my shawl and my hubbies afghan I started. I need to make a bag holder for my friend Karen. She didn't like the way the other I made her so I going to design one she will use.

  Ive been so excited about www.CrochetwithDee.com s web page. You should go take a look I just love reading about her adventures traveling around the great New England area.

  I had a meeting the other night with my crochet friends here in Vegas and we had a great time. I met a wonderful lady named Mindy boy can she crochet! It was really nice to meet new people we are hoping to get around 6 people to join CGOA so we can get a chapter together.

  Well have a great weekend and I promise Ill be back sooner than later

My 32nd anniversary Mt. Charleston Trip

Friends,

  As you can see I had a most wonderful anniversary thanks to my friend Karen and my kids. They paid for 2 nights and 3 days at the cabin in Mt Charleston. It was wonderful. There was no phones and no tv other than a dvd player. Terry and I read our books that we brought along. Terry chose the Harry Potter series that I had bought him last year and I chose the O'Malley series written by Dee Henderson. Its a great series if you want to read a good book.

  We arrived around 5 pm on Tuesday night ( I missed my crochet meetup group, but they understood!!) we had dinner at the lodge and it was great. Terry tried to get me to order the Ostich burger but I stuck with the salad. The next day we read our books and hung out to watch a gentle rain on the balcony. It was so cool compared to Vegas's very hot 105 degree days. We then went on a little drive around Lee Canyon and we went on a little hike on the mountain. We had a great day.

  I hope to go back again some time this summer when I just cant stand the heat any longer.You will be happy to hear that I did take along a crochet project and I did crochet some. Yipee !!

  Well friends have a very blessed day!

A very hot day

Friends,

  I thought I would share a few pics of me:) lol Arnt I cute! I know I mentioned a few days ago that I have started NutriSystem diet plan on June 1st. So far I really like it. I eat every 3 hours and I drink all my water. I have yet to feel hungry or deprived. Did I mention I have diabetes? I picked the diabetic plan and they did not send me any choclate:( Boo Hoo Next month Im going to pick my own choices so I could get some chocolate:) lol

  Im still excersizing at Curves. But I still have a few weeks to go before I can fully work out. All I do now is just go around the boards. And that alone is exhausting to me! And my back just kills me. I do hope that the doctor can tell me what is wrong with it.

  Well I just wanted to drop by for a few to let you all know what Ive been up to. I still have yet to get back to my crochet. I havent crochet since the surgery! Boy I need inspiration to get me going. I do have my Crochet group to go to tomorrow night. I hope I can get inspired there! I love the ladies they are so fun to be with.

  Ok Im off of here have a great nice cool day!

Had my MRI today

Friends,

  I had my first MRI in years today. I am so closterphobic (sp?)  they had to sedate me with valium. I slept on the way home. It went ok. I kept my eyes closed all the time I was in the contraption.I see the doctor in a month to get the results.

  Well today was my first day on the Nutri System program. So far I really like it. I actually had plenty of food to eat. I pray by next year this time Ill weigh a whole lot less. I really have so much to loose but Im happy with anything at this point.

  I have been NOT crocheting for the past few weeks other than the little scrubber I made for Jim for the wonderful hook he made me. I really need to get back into it. I started an afghan for Terry and I still havent worked much on that. I even started a shawl and Ive stopped working on that too. I have a crochet meeting this Tuesday I hope they can give a little pick me up.

  Have a blessed day Ill be backkkk!

Got my Jimbo Hook

Friends,

  I recieved my hook a few days ago and I wanted to share with you how fabulous it is. It came in the cutest packaging. I was so excited about the hook I almost lost my mind opening the cute packaging. I made him a very cute scrubbie he should have recieved it by now. The hook was like using butter to crochet with. It was so smooth and wonderful. If you get a chance to bid on one of his hooks I do hope you win it!

  Heres a link to his site Jimbo's Front Porch I love viisting his site it is very refreshing to see some of his pictures. Enjoy!
