While waiting in the car on Tuesday during Dad's first eye surgery, I worked on this...then worked on it a few more times during the week.

 

I wanted something simple as I knew it would be hot in the car and a long wait. I alternated between this and reading a book..so it made the waiting a bit easier.

Reading:

Started David Rosenfelt Unleashed

Other:

Dad's eye surgery on Tuesday...we left at 5:00 am for a 6:20 surgery... It was a very foggy drive as the humidity had cranked up a few notches...Dad was ready to leave for home a few minutes before 9 am.

 

Wednesday at 8:40 was follow up at Dr. Office for Dad after the eye surgery - at least this visit was a more reasonable time to leave (7:30). Stopped at the grocery store and superstore on the way home to reduce all my traveling. Both are in the process of being renovated so things are not where they were on my last shopping outing. Some things still aren't available..but I did manage to find the 1-4 cup coffee filter baskets for my parents & DH.

 

 

Our Snowball bushes (trees) have started to open up...they are still in the green to white phase...closer to fall they'll soften to a pale rosy color and by then our burning bushes will be blazing with color.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 We had a few showers...this was at the end of one of them...

 

 

Until next time,

Have a wonderful day!
