Hi everyone!

Sorry I haven't been around much lately. We have had further visits to the hospital but things are under control and looking very good for us.

I haven't been able to get my sewing machine out as I had hoped - maybe this next week.

I have plans and hopes to join in the next challenge for our Challenging ourselves group.

We are to do a self portrait - I have started it and have decided what I hope to do and

hopefully will get it done in time. Life has been one long upset this past two years so

I am hoping we will have some 'down time ' now.

I have been knitting as you all know and during the past time since Pat was sick again and in the hospital and since, I have knit two cotton summer sweaters for myself. I design my own and

am reasonably happy with them. I have the front done on another one which I will post shortly.

I watched the Royal wedding yesterday - she certainly is a classy lady - I quite enjoyed it.

My heart goes out to all of you who were affected by the terrible tornadoes in the south.

I complain about the cold weather here and we have had a bad winter but it makes me

realize how lucky we are. I pray for all who have been made homeless and for the families of

those who lost their lives.
