So it's been ages since I've been to a craft store.. That changed on Tuesday...Dad was running low on eye drops.. and since they opened really early in the am, I picked up his drops and then wandered through the Hobby Lobby, getting home just in time for DH to go to his Dr. appointment.
I found this lovely diamond painting (at 40% off) Seize the Day © Artwork by Chuck Pinson

Some lovely needle minders for exchange gifts...only $5.99 a package..some charms & a package of buttons that will make nice needle minders.
The mail this week brought

My Fabric of the month from Colour & Cotton. 40ct Linen & 28ct Lugana
My threads of the month from Colour & Cotton were due to arrive on Saturday.. but they didn't get on the truck North.. they were about 90 miles away at the distribution center on Thursday ....then it traveled east on Friday... back to distribution center early on Saturday... Hopefully they'll get here early next week. Last time this happened it took a detour though the state of Vermont.

This was a busy week:
After the holiday on Monday...
Tuesday I had to pick up more eye drops for Dad as he was running low and still needs them for another 2 weeks. Also had to stop at Pharmacy for his test strips on the way North. Then DH had his Primary Dr. appointment.
Wednesday was primary Dr. visit for Dad. His primary Dr. is moving on to a nursing facility closer to her home at the end of this month, so it will be a new Dr. for Dad once that happens. This isn't that unusual - our health center has changed staff a lot -we've had 7 new Doctors in the past 20 years.
Thursday was eye Dr. Follow-up since Dad missed last week visit. His eye is healing well. Vision is improved.
Friday morning was an EKG for Dad at cardiologists office..he had a 10:30am appointment.. but the technician didn't arrive until after 11am.. she still had her coat on when he was called into the room for his test. Meanwhile I was waiting in the car as they don't allow anyone but the patient in the building.
Saturday was our local pharmacy for Dad & DH.
Next week will also be a very busy week.
Until next time,
Have a wonderful day! Lisa M.
Whew, you're a busy lady! You are a good daughter. You are definitely multi-craftual! At the moment I have a package MIA. Post office has no idea where it's gone. Sometimes you just gotta laugh. Have a great Sunday.
