1) Pixie and I are back at our hospice work.  It's good to see the people again.  We did miss them!


2) Had a root canal done this week.  :(  Found I had excruciating pain that evening and the next morning.  Called the Dentist.  He put me on an antibiotic immediately.  All is well now.  I had an infection.  I have a good dentist.


3) Took my car in to a shop to have my battery checked.  I love this place.  They know me.  The would not cheat me.  I needed a new battery.  It was worth the time and money.  Thank you to the guys who helped me.

1) My ankle wasn't broken!  That was really good news!  It's ugly and blue and swollen, but it's not broken.

2) We had both rain and nice weather, even though it was a wee bit cold.

3) Even though my ankle is injured, I can drive.

1) The weather has cooled down a lot.  We had a few perfect days this week.  I do love autumn, but it falls into winter very quickly here.

2) I made the last batch of soap today!  People seem to like it!

3) I learned to make face canes this week with polymer clay!  That was fun!

1.  Even in nature there are many unexpected miracles.  I took this photo yesterday morning.  What a kiss from God to start the morning!

2.  I had a wonderful birthday celebration and it still continues!

3.  I'm now, officially, a "senior citizen," but who says I have to grow up?

1) Life has been good.  I am feeling better, and I've been sleeping a lot more.  I sort of like sleeping in.  I didn't know I could do this again.  I'm usually up before my alarm.  Lately, I'm not, and I don't care!

2) Yesterday, while Pixie and I were doing hospice work, one patient who does not speak or respond even though she sits up in her chair, put her head next to mine when I hugged her and sang a song to her.  The power of touch is amazing!

3)  It rained almost all day yesterday.  I love the rain!!

1)  Even though I've spent the last week and a half in bed with this virus, I have been able to play with the apps on my phone.  I've learned a lot, but I would have rather been doing other things.

2) I've learned a little bit of humility this week, too.  When I realized that an organism as small as a virus is could make me so sick, I stepped back to look at this cell with new eyes.  I am truly humbled.

3)  Pixie has enjoyed me staying home and laying down near her.  Her eyes of love watching me make me feel wonderful!

1)   Bumps in the weather, but a reminder autumn is only a few days away.  What a relief from the heat!

2) Feeling bummed because I have to miss the Beads of Courage event in the Twin Cities.  However, thankful that there are great people there to take over and the knowledge that the event will be a success.

3) I'm glad I'm feeling better now.  I don't like being sick, but I am better now.

Three Beautiful Things This Week One Day Early

1) Yes, this is a day early!
Tomorrow will be the reveal for the Challenge of Music, so stay tuned and check back to see what everyone has done with their music.  I am very pleased with my piece.  I think you will find it "interesting."

2) I had to laugh all day at Pixie yesterday.  She decided she wanted to be the dominant female.  With me still hobbling along, I have been forced to sit around a lot, and this does drive me crazy.  I only do what I have to do.  I bring my computer downstairs, and I work in a very bright room.  The couch and loveseat are in there.  I usually sit on the loveseat and Pixie sleeps on her couch.  Yesterday, Pixie decided that she would take up my love seat.  She spent most of the day trying to get me off by pushing me with her legs or stretching, anything she could do to claim the loveseat.  I had to laugh because she was squashed there, and I wasn't moving!  It was a challenge, but I think I won!!

3)  I've been seeing a lot of crows lately.  I really like crows, so it was pleasant to see them around.  I just hope that, soon, the robins begin to show up.  I think I'd rather see a robin.

1) I finished on training session with Hospice.  The director is anxious to put Pixie and I to work.  Hopefully, weather permitting today, I will finish training and Pixie and I will begin to visit patients next week.

2) I torched yesterday for the first time after a week.  Since my fall at church, with my feet hurting, I haven't been able to torch.  The pain was manageable today.  I was very grateful for that.

3) It's gotten a little bit warmer, well, sort of, well, not really, but it still is winter.  I'm longing for a daffodil though!!

1) My tooth quit hurting yesterday.  I had a root canal!  I wasn't supposed to get in until January 21, 2013, yes, that's what I said.  However, they had a cancellation yesterday morning, and I was good to go.  I feel so much better now.

2) I now have 701 sales in my Etsy store!!!  I didn't think this would happen until next year.   I'm glad!!

3) Pixie's therapy dog heart came.  It's official!!!  Now, we are good to go!!!  I hope that opportunities present themselves very soon.  Wooo Hooo!  It was a good week.

1) The show was very good to me!!!  I enjoyed reconnecting with people whom I hadn't seen in ages!  (It was a local show.)  I also had some very good sales!!!  Yes!!!

2) So, I got sick after the snow.  I'm better now, and that makes me very happy!!!

3) Knock on wood, but Pixie has not pooped on the floor in a while.  I hope that keeps up!!!!  I still need new carpet, though!!!

1) Pixie passed!!!  She's now a therapy dog!!!  I just have to wait for all the paper work.  I hope that won't take too long.  I'm anxious to get the girl working!


2) Set up for the show was quick and easy.  Now, here's hoping that there will be a lot of sales in the next 3 days.  If not, it is what it is.  I'm happy with the set up.


3) Foot soaks are good!!!

1) Friends do prove themselves in big ways.  A friend went with me to a long medical appointment at Mayo Clinic.  That was very kind of her to do because I thought I needed a driver.  Turns out, I didn't, but I am very grateful to her for going with me.

2) Pinto beans were the greatest treat this week.  I made them from scratch, and they were delicious!!!

3) Labor Day was restful.  I enjoyed relaxing for the weekend.  Pixie and I just chilled, but it was great!

1) Friends and food are always a great combination!  It's so nice to get together and eat.  Conversation is great!  All and all,  fun!

2)  I love it when Pixie cuddles.  She's been a real cuddler this week!  She seems to look for a reason for cuddling.  Oh, well, my legs are asleep, but that's okay because she's cuddling.

3) Helped pick out the new sound system for church.  It's going to be great!  The great thing is that so many people chose to come and help.  It was awesome!

1) The cicadas are screeching in unison as they get ready for autumn to come.  I walk to the mailbox, and they warn me that I am in danger if I threaten them.  Little do they know, I don't like their noises, but I do like them!!


2) In the evening, the tree frogs take over.  They hum in the dark and create a chorus of song as they leap from tree to tree finding their own kind and singing me to sleep.


3) Yesterday was beautiful!  The humidity was gone, and air we breathed was clean!!  I love summer days like that!

1) Isn't it great when you get a phone call from a friend you haven't visited with in a long time.  The best thing is that we can talk, and it's just like it was yesterday!

2) I'm so grateful for air conditioning!  It's been so hot, and I am now ready for fall!  I hope that fall comes a wee bit early this year, and I hope that it's a long one!

3) Pixie makes me laugh. She usually howls when the sirens go off.  This week I was able to catch it on video.  What was funny was that she didn't lift her head!  She's such a sweet, lazy girl!

1) This has been a good week.  Most things went well.  I can't complain about that!!  Pixie only had gassssss two nights this week!   Even though TV has been reruns, they are reruns I haven't see.  Life is good for now.

2) This week I am wearing flip flops!  I've never been able to wear them before!  I even made a pair of my own fabric flip flops!!  This is fun for summer!

3) I received my beads from an exchange on Lampworketc.  I love them all!  This was a good week!!!

1) Of course, the greatest thing this week was seeing Jo Ann after 8 years.
We had such a great time, and we never stopped talking.  If it wasn't for the fact that both of us has aged a bit, I would have thought it was only yesterday that we saw each other,  That and the fact that our kids are pretty much grown.  

2) The weather has been great!  Yes, it's hot.  Yes, it's July!  Yes, I could use a cool day, but this is the time to enjoy this weather.  In 6 months, there will be snow on the ground!

3) The Closer started again this week!  This is looking to be a great season.  I can hardly wait until next week for the next show!

1) Even though there were some very unexpected events that happened this week, I could only smile about the outpouring of love I felt.  Family and friends are wonderful, even when they don't always know what to say!  Somehow, knowing this, I know that things will work out.  They always do!

2) I started to write my first ebook this week.  I can assure you that it will not be a book that has mass appeal, but it will be available on my blog when it's finished, if only I can figure out how to make it download.  I'm very excited about this project.

3) I made more beads for Beads of Courage.  I admire the courage and the outlook on life that these children have.  It is my joy and pleasure to participate in this program!
