March 23: John 16:33, Fiber Fun and Finding Joy

Hello There,
Thank you to all who stopped by last week and commented on my grandson's cooking.  He was so tickled to read your comments!  
After a wonderful two weeks of Spring Break sharing time with my grandkids with their paternal grandpa, it's time to find my rhythm again.

March 16: Matthew 28:20, Fiber Fun, Literary Life, Finding Joy

  

Hello There,
I'm so glad you stopped in for a visit!  This week has been an active one with the grandkids on Spring Break.  We've baked, swam (in an indoor pool), made several library trips and cooked!  You'll see pics of my grandson's creation in the Finding Joy section.

March 9: Philippians 2:12-13, Fiber Fun, Literary Life and Finding Joy


  Hello There,

Thank you for stopping by this week!  We had a wild weather week filled with blowing dust and allergies.  At times, our view was limited to only the houses across our street!  I'm praying for rain as more dust storms are expected.  

Our precious Chloe was very sick, but is improving.  We are cautiously optimistic.  Our eagle-eyed groomer pointed out a rash on her tummy, so we treated it with the appropriate medications.  By the next morning she had a large, dark bruise in the same area.  After viewing the pictures, our vet wanted to see her immediately.  Blood work showed that she had zero platelets versus the norm of150,000!

March 2: Psalm 42:11, Fun Fiber Projects, Literary Life and Finding Joy



 

Hello There,
Thank you so much for popping in this week, especially as I am posting quite late.  My questionable friend, fibromyalgia decided to pay me a visit these last 10 days, so life has been...quiet.  While resting with a heating pad on my back, I accomplished quite a bit of slow stitching, though!

February 23: Jeremiah 2:13, Fun Fiber Projects, Literary Life and Finding Joy


Hello There,
Thank you for visiting!  We've been home a week and I'm slowly getting back into a routine.  The weather has been so warm we took our portable greenhouse down so I could prune the plants and they could enjoy some nice temps.  I hope your weather is also enjoyable!    
Please pull up a chair, get cozy and enjoy this weekly post.

February 16: Does Forgiveness Mean We're Losing? Fun Fiber Projects, Literary Life and Finding Joy


Hello There,
We've spent a wonderful 10 days in San Diego with my family.  Daddy is doing well - he's gained about 5 of the 20 pounds he lost.  So far no pain.  We are grateful for every day he is pain-free.  It's hard to believe the oncologist's prognosis as Daddy is doing so good!  Of course, Mama is happy and enjoying life.  I am so looking forward to our next visit!

February 8: Isaiah 41:10, Fun Fiber Projects, Literary Life and Finding Joy

Hello There, 

Thank you all for visiting!  Back in January I mentioned about some issues with photos in Blogger.  I found an easier, new-to-me method to insert them from my phone.

February 2: Matthew 8:8, Fun Fiber Projects, Literary Life and Finding Joy

Hello There,

Thank you for stopping in!  I appreciate your time!  Last week was productive - I even pulled out a project that was in serious danger of becoming a UFO!  I pulled it out yesterday and we're back on track.  I'll be sharing later on that one.

January 25: Psalm 23:2, Fun Fiber Projects, Literary Living and Finding Joy


Hello There,
Thank you for visiting!  I hope you all are doing well.   Are you all having a difficult time inserting and positioning photos on your blog?  I am having such a hard time that it almost takes all the fun out of blogging! While writing my  last post,  (and in the future), I just decided to do the best I can and simply focus on connecting with you!  😊
I hope you have enjoyed your fiber fun projects, literary lives and snow - if you got some!  Our weather has been cold and I have both sinus and ear infections and allergies, so I've been hibernating, stitching and reading!

January 16: John 16:33, Fun Fiber Projects, Literary Living and Finding Joy



Hello There,
I hope you all are doing well.  This week started well and ended peaceful with tears in between.  As you will read, projects were finished, books were read and even some joy was found.  My precious Daddy's health has declined and he may soon be on palliative care and then hospice.  We've known this was coming, but...ug...it's hard.
I'll be making monthly trips to San Diego to be with him and blog posts may be irregular.  Hopefully I can blog at least bi-weekly.  
We have found time to laugh, especially when I'm with my family and grandbabies.  They are my precious joy and blessing.  
So, please, grab a cup of your favorite beverage, relax and enjoy this week's post!
Love, 
Patricia

January 8: Psalm 34:18, Fun Fiber Projects, Literary Living and Finding Joy

           

Hello There,
It's been a while, hasn't it?  Life has been...challenging, but as my wise younger sister says, "We'll figure it out, and "We're going to be ok." In the last year and a half, priorities have shifted and, though I set goals, deadlines have been thrown out the window.  😊 It's actually quite liberating.  

I'm not sure how Faith, Trust and Breast Cancer, or life for that matter, will evolve, but, "We'll figure it out and will be ok."
