    Thanks Crafty-bear. I am doing well!! It is not hurting too much, though it is quite swollen, even though it is tightly wrapped from foot to knee to keep it from doing that, feels really tight. We can take off the wrap and dressings this afternoon. Fortunately I was able to ditch the crutches today and can limp my way around the house, though I am avoiding the stairs!!!!

    Mmmmmm home-made Ice cream sounds good, we used to camp on Memorial day and make home-made ice cream!!!

    Finish painting the porch and put up all the trim pieces on the wall. That's a must! The rest- - - just spend some time with my honey and cook a meal or two for us.

    I will be spending most of the weekend working and visit the gravesides Monday. When my youngest was small she would ask, " can we go visit grandma and grandpa. " They passed when she was very small so this was her only link to them.

    Hi all!

    My friends and I got together this afternoon to sort more fabrics for the charity quilts we are making. After sorting, they ironed and cut squares while I worked on couple of small UFOs that will hang on my cubicle walls at my new job. I took home my share of fabrics to cut into squares. Now if I could just have the energy to cut when I get home from work. I have been out of work for almost 18 months, so getting back into the grind after being out so long and learning a new job to boot, well, I am pooped when I get home. But I know it will get better as I get into the swing of things and I will be able to quilt during the week once again. I have cut way back on my television watching and read, stitch and sew instead now.
