I like Thursday #9

This has been a week of adventures. I like the fact that DH went into hospital last Thursday for his knee replacement surgery.

Squirrel Attack!

My day started with shovelling and raking the soon to be patio area. The truck was coming with a pallet of paving stones so it had to be done. DH and I headed out but could only work in short stints.

Another DrEAMI Project

I saw a post on Desert Sky Quilting that had me intrigued with the thought of doing another fun scrappy project.

I Love Thursday

This has been another week of troubling news; more trouble during a wellness check, Chief being violently abused during a traffic stop, watching the news from America. My heart is heavy with all that is going on and the increasing numbers of positive cases as our country re-opens. It is not always easy to seeContinueContinue reading “I Love Thursday”
