ROW-A-DAY CROCHET. et al

 

I am crocheting away on my afghan
each early morning.  
One row
[--and sometimes 2--]
is just the right amount
 to allow me to
crochet without my 
hands hurting...

I use this as a slow way to
ease into most days...
It seems to ground me...
The slow repetitive motions
are soothing...

Today I changed colors and
added this amazing
pink that looks like my 
raspberry cactus 
which is ready to bloom
↧↧↧
Another pretty color from 
"Miss Babs" yarn online that
I had gotten years ago...
👀👀👀
My Raspberry cactus sits 
in between
the peach and white...
It originally came with buds already
blooming, but then abruptly stopped when 
I moved it to this new location--
but now, it seems happy to be
with its friends :))) 
Maybe I will have 3 blooming
at the same time...
What a treat on these
cold, gray days...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The good family news is that Tom is
feeling much better; and we 
think/hope that this has
cleared up on its own; and
was most likely just a partial
obstruction; his plan to stop
food intake and walk a lot
[this is what his hospital stays
included]
seems to have worked...

P H E W !!!

AND
Jeff, is feeling better after testing
positive for Covid last
Thursday...😓
He got really
sick--bed sick--
as he called it...
but  he is now slowly 
feeling better.
Just totally exhausted...
and still symptomatic...

We shall see what this means
for our Christmas gathering....

Stay safe out there, guys;
latest booster + flu shots
to keep healthy during this
run up to the Holidays

It's still out there!!!
