Morning, It's a nice sunny one here in So Cal, though they say rain is expected tomorrow. Yesterday was garage cleanup day so we could get a pickup in with our Honda CRV . We want it out of sight when we take a vacation to D.C.
I just finished a Lacy star afghan in greens and soft white. It's an old pattern from Hooked on Crochet ( The mag is no longer published. ) I have 2 KAL's in dish ckloth groups to catch up on. As you can see I still don't have a clue how to do pictures or I would share. Actually I don't even Have the right kindof camera. I am severly challenged in that area. LOL . More doctors appts coming up with my girl . The Navy still hasn't figured things out. Issues with hubby. He has a problem with a growth or something behind one knee. I am pushing for resolution there. The ultrasound showed nothing . Yet the doctor is the one that pointed out a problem when he complained of pain. I am lucky enough to have a PPO for Insurance . He has an HMO and I don't think they care if their patients die. I guess you can tell I'm frustrated . I am living with a man that I dearly love and he is made at everything. The stock market ,the medical system , The world and life in general. Enough of this hope anyone that read this has a good weekend.

An amazing thing has happened . At least it seems that way to me. A couple of weeks ago I woke up with words streaming through my head and the desire to write them down. At 66 , I have found the abitlity to write poetry. It may not last,but even so it's really neat right now. I have completed about a dozen with various themes. I'm not sure if they are set up right ,but it's not like I'm going to submit them for publishing. I set them up the way the feel right to me. The people that I've shared them with like them and that makes me feel good. I hope they aren't saying that just to be nice.
Brett is on his way home from Colorado and should be here in an hour or so. When you have some 30 years of marriage ,it's hard to be apart even though everyone needs their space once and a while.
My crafts are going well and I'm trying my hand at designing patterns for dishcloths. I have one completed and worked up though I haven't had anyone else test it yet . There are a couple more on graph paper to try.
My creative juices seem to be on overload . Wish I'd had some of this before.

Morning, I continue to go to therapy to improve leg strength. Hubby is in Colorado this week. Daughter and boyfriend stopped by on the way to Sand Diego for more medical appts. for her. I have decided that I should not walk out the front door without a key attached to my body. I locked myself out. Fortunately with the help of a neighbor I was able to get back in and promptly took a key to them. I have been doing hand towels ( knit) I have found several great patterns. I was inspired to get moving when an email buddy sent me one. I love it. I started a knit afghan ,but it's just too loose for the warmth that I want it to have so I frogged and am crocheting one. This will be a donation.
Cre8tive quilters , I continue to peek at your wonderful projects. Keep up the good work girls .
Next week is my cancer checkup . So far so good. I am expecting to have that continue.
