SPRING IS ALMOST HERE,SHELBY SHOVELS!
This is a sure sign that spring is on the way--Shelby is shovelling the snow off our deck! She did half of the deck and then did more a few days later. Roy finished it off so now it is drying off. Yeah!
I have been suffering the ill effects of a really bad blood blister! I got one on Feb.15th and then got another one 10days ago--bloody, bleedin', bloomin' blinkin' blood blisters! The nurse and Roy have been changing the gauze and using antibiotic cream and i'm on antibiotics as the skin broke open. That's enough of that!
I've just finished my Swedish embroidery runner--at last! I am starting another smaller piece now. Here are some pics of "Trees" as it is called. It is done in pastels-variegated wool.
This pic below is a close up of the middle part of "Trees"--a reflection of the upper part Then I designed the edges with another pattern.
Well, that is all the pics--I am so proud!!
I'm starting a cushion now--a bit less ambitious!
Here are a couple of pics of an old friend of mine--Midge Scott. She is now 84 and we used to golf regularly together. She had to stop last year as she has Parkinson's disease and the trembling in her arms was making it difficult to swing the club! I admire her tenacity trying such a sport when she had such a handicap! I have some good older friends who set such good examples!
The two pics above were taken at Kupper's when we took Midge for lunch. A nice day out! We used the flowers off the table to add some colour to our photo!! Ha! Ha!
Well, 2005 had a few more pics to put on my blog! Alfred and Garra gave us some from last summer so here they are!
Well, most of those pics were taken at Alf's birthday over at Alfred and Garra's house. My birthday is on July 6th and his is on July 7th so I never forget!
The group pic was taken by Jiana, Alfred and Garra's second oldest daughter. Ed is beaming as he knows there is going to be cake! Little Braeden was around 2 yrs old when that photo was taken. Guin and Allen were in Dryden for a visit and Joel and Sarah were down for a visit too. Joel is Alfred and Garra's son and Sarah is his wife.

You did an amazing job on the embroidery mom! I'm proud of you too 
I'm glad to see the snow is melting. Spring is such a great time, especially up north because it means that long cold winter is over.
Tommorrow it's going to be +13 and sunny here!
