Welcome Back...

Anybody out there? Lol I'll bet you're wondering what happened to me. Well, the last day of the year, New Years Eve Day I managed to fall out in my driveway and break my arm!!! The Radius bone down by the wrist. I was in so much denial that it wasn't until the next day that I asked Wayne to take me to the hospital. Xrays and cutting off my wedding band later, it was put into a temporary cast. :-( By Monday of the next week I got into an orthopedic doctor and good news was it didn't require surgery. The break was in place. Bad news was temporary cast taken off and a hard permanent one put in. Today I'm finally out of the hard cast and into a soft removable one. I take it off while I'm at home. It's been tough! lol

We are hoping to get back to working on the camp when the weather breaks. We went down a few weeks ago and looked things over after the high water and it was 16 deg F in the sun!!! lol We're both eager to get the old ceiling down and new one up with insulation. Then we can stay there. But there are a LOT of leaks to be plugged!

Here's a photo of my new little hand sewer! lol I found these Lace Up cards in a Clotilde Catalog and remembered them fondly from when I was little. I used to sit by the hour and "sew" with them. Allie enjoyed them tremendously even though it was a struggle shoving that big plastic needle and yarn thru the holes. It was my girlfriend Louise that reminded me that they used to be shoe laces rather than needle and threads.




Take care all, and hope it's been a good year so far for everyone!  Love and best wishes to you... sylvia
