Squirt and Aza arrived today.

I didn't take many pictures because I woke up sick and had to take myself to the hospital. I waited in the waiting room (it was not really the ER, but a kind of urgent care attached to the hospital) for two hours before being seen by a doctor who did not believe I had what I said I had, and would not give me the medicine I said I needed. I was miserable all day.

One of the joys of traveling is seeing new yarn stores. This one was really special. I think I spent about an hour in there salivating and buying some special things. Not too much... but some treats.

Blueberries and waffles with coffee milk for breakfast at the lake!

I spent all day in the kitchen preparing a meal for 20 or so.

And once again, the sunset was beautiful

Driving to Michigan... to see our kids and all the other members of Dan's family.

We made it to the lake house in time for the beautiful sunset.

Look at Teensie's new collar. It's turned inside out... but it was braided by Aza. I sewed the buckle on, and the flowers from her old collar. She needs a collar because tomorrow she's going to Nana's house for 10 days while Dan and I go to a family reunion.

Today I was marking things off my to do list in anticipation for our trip tomorrow. Three drug stores were visited and the pet store and I reviewed an article and wrote a letter for my external review. A huge storm came. See the sky?

Studio today. Threw a bunch of 1 lb tea bowls and a vase. Got some stuff from the kiln.

Worked on penguin curriculum today and then noticed how nice the yard looked! Dan does such a great job.

I love my corn thingy!

We picked chanterelle mushrooms today from a friend's woods. Chiggers. Abounded.

At the studio today, I glazed.

I'm crocheting an Afghan thing. Normally I don't like crocheting too much but I love making these scrapwork pieces from leftover pieces of yarn.

It's done! I can't wait to see what people think when it goes on exhibit. I'm going to write a book that goes along with it- find interesting tidbits to tell.
Five feet high and eight feet long.

We are all worried about Squirt. He has three screws pressing on his spinal cord. Here is one image from his CT scan.

My mural has been accepted in a juried art show at the museum so I'm spiffing it up.

Today we worked on the new penguins curriculum because Dan sold a few kits.

We went out to eat because I'd had a hard day. We tried Chipotle and it was too crowded. So we went to Little Italy. I liked the eggplant sandwich.

Happy 10th birthday, Buddy! Aunt Chrissy misses you!

Why did the rat snake cross the road? See how it keeps its body in the black area of the painted symbol?

My former student is having a baby girl!

The lobster dinner.

I ate an entire lobster (that's mine on the left).

 Does this lamp make my butt look big?

I am a ghost and I like it.

Who are you looking at? Me? My new coat my mommy knit me?

I sent this to the wrong address so it's out of order. Yes, I can email my posts!

Begin forwarded message:

> We are in North Carolina with our old college friends M&M. M introduced me and Dan to each other in 1984. We are such good friends and have stayed in touch all these years. We are so blessed to still have her and M in our lives. We went for a walk today and shared our hearts out.

Teensie and I are sitting on the couch together. She stared right into the camera.

Finished this today and it looks like a wrapped up gift. Not intended. Once tissues are in it, the tissue will look like a bow.

I picked up this project I did with my sisters a while back. Not crazy about the color but it's neat. We each get a piece.

I've been trying to solve genealogy mysteries today.

Sakura and I start our exercise program today. I made an app to help us stay on track.
