The Sisters and Big Boy

<--Lucy (rt) & Ethel (lt) on one side of the patio, Big Boy, on the other -->







They are enjoying the warm days and evenings to the hilt! I usually let the Sisters out for about an hour in the morning and two hours at sunset.

I find Big Boy sitting at the patio door, first thing in the morning, he comes in, eats, goes to bed IN MY BED, sleeps till sunset, eats and socializes with the Sisters, then goes out for the night when it's fully dark.

Today, it was almost sunset when I got these pictures.

(Do they have me well trained, or what?)

Another Poncho Completed

Wow. I finally finished this Poncho! I designed it myself. It has a scoop neck with a 'roll' collar in a nice soft Sage (the picture above does NOT do justice to the color!). And of course, it's XXX sized

Every stitch done, every end woven in. Seemed like it took forever (especially that ruffle all the way around!). I still have one skein of this yarn left. Want to make a kind of 'hoodie' to match, but just am not in the mood at the moment, want to move on to something else...

I need to make rectangles and grannies with the yarn left over from this project.

And in fact, I need some more 'Don't Lose Your Marbles' as I've gifted all but one of them, and I like to keep extras available.

Lymbrel

Last time I saw my Rheumatologist, she gave me some samples of Limbril to help with joint pain.

Limbrel is a new, by prescription only, medical food product (flavocoxid 500mg) for help with some types if arthritis.

Well the samples DEFINITELY helped with my joint pain, especially the pain in my wrist and thumb joints!

The good news today is that my MediCare Part D Insurance approved it for me!!! Yes! Now perhaps I can crochet more with less pain.

Wendy

This evening I had a visitor, Wendy, a cyber-pal. We have been emailing back and forth with for years! We finally met f2f.

She was visiting family in the area (from Amsterdam, where she lives), and graciously granted me a few hours.

We had dinner, exchanged a couple of gifts; I gave her a petghan for her cat and a ‘Don’t Lose Your Marbles, she gave me a fridge magnet that says ‘Holland’ on it, a book, and a loved designer box.

And. we talked and talked and talked! Hope she had as good of a time as I did!
