Yesterday was my day with Kendall. I picked her up and had to stop at our church for something on the way home. It is in the middle of nowhere. No cell phone service, no close neighbors. I had this thought.  What if I fell on all this ice, with Kendall, and no one around?  I was so careful. Later in the day... I left the shop with Kendall in arms and banking and mail to go the post office and bank. Not. Being. Careful. I fell. Legs out from under me, smack down on the tailbone, Fell. Kendall cried.  Wallowing around on the ice, I checked her. Scared, not hurt. Her, that is. Me, on the other hand. Instant headache, nauseated and dizzy. It was a good hit. JWS, on the phone, in the office, missed it. I went back to the shop to check my wounds. He told me about his fall and showed me his elbow. I might or might not have said something bad to him. In my dizzy, sick, pained state, I could not be held accountable. Thankfully, I think a quick trip to the chiropractor might have...

It is sitting on the front porch..and 3.  It is sitting on the front porch. And off to the gym for the second morning of torture.

Cleaning and Organizing can be so therapeutic and EMBARRASSING! In the midst of the clean-up, I found this "gift" that I had started for a friend's granddaughter. It had slipped my mind completely about making it. If only I could stay organized! I also ran across this ATC that I had made while my friends were here visiting in the spring. You see, they are into making and trading these little cards and I "humored" them and made one also. They are sneaky little people though, they got my hooked. I kept thinking about this little card and the concept of the trading of them and then it sort of got buried in the rubble of my painting area and the rubble of my mind. Well, over the weekend I found it and while I was cleaning I saw the empty Cheerios box sitting there. Then I found a deck of cards and I remember Les keeping her blanks in a card box. THEN, I found the tote bag full of paper STUFF that I had been making ornaments with last year. It just kept ...
