Secrets from Louisiana

So glad you have stopped by for a visit. We have many secrets here in Louisiana. We are a quilters haven because of all the interesting things we have in our environment to see, smell,taste and feel. Our flowers are like perfume in the evening and the colors explode in your eyes. Our seafood is the best in the world and is bountiful from the Gulf.

The palette is non stopping.

Another Boring Day

I don't sit well!!!!! Did we know this???? I have projects planned for several weeks but they are now doing it for me. Poor Steve has never had to take care of me before and he is pooped. Too much to take care of, welcome to my world. By the end of next week he will have to learn to cook or it will be take out. I planned 2 weeks of meals and then it is up to him.

Foot feels ok not a problem, it is not being able to walk is the PROBLEM. Ok enough of the wining!

I will be alone today as he needs a break to work on my car. Lets see how that works out.

Hugs,

Patticake

ps Lorie dropped off 5 boxes of fabric, somebodies stash, so I asked my friend to come pick it up. Christmas

Home from the Hospital

Well surgery was a breeze, stayed awake took a foot block instead of the knock out your brain stuff. What is not a breeze is not being able to weight bare on the foot. I am not a sit down stay in bed sort of girl. Steve has been the step and fetch guy and he says being the mama is hard work...hahaha I just said REALLY???? The dog is really confused as to who to listen to, she is coping well.We will run out of prepared food tomorrow so we will see if he can cook or will it be caring in.

Mt schedule consists of basin bath, roll to the front, breakfast, roll to the computer, roll to the sofa, tv, quilt, read, sew stare at the ceiling, roll to the kitchen, lunch, repeat the above. My My this is thrilling.

Monday at 2 pm the doctor will change the bandage and check the pin in the second toe and the incision on the big toe. Will I ever do this again, probably not, no pain to speak of just a real sit down, lay down do nothing for several to 3 weeks. This girl has toooooooooooooo much energy for this, hope I never have any thing major. I have been so lucky in life with my health. I know what goes in in the food line and what this body needs so far. Thank GOD I saw the light 30 years ago and stopped smoking and hit the blacktop walking.

The rant is over and have a great day!

Good Morning All Lets Catch Up!

It is a rainy cold day in Louisiana. A great day for sewing, cooking and cleaning. Lets start with sewing and cooking and if there is time left cleaning. I have 2 big quilts that need their bindings finished, a tabletopper that needs appliques finished and work on my Louisiana swamp animals. there is always more organizing of my endless pattern collection.

Little Hank is still mending from his surgery but is back at LSU and is doing well. It was nice nursing him back to health. We watched every Harry Potter movie made and then some.

I am having foot surgery tomorrow and am not looking forward to it, 3-4 weeks recovery. Hand work is on the menu.

Today I will cook for the week as Steve doesn't cook and I will want to eat. Great planning.

Will keep you up to date.
