THIS AND THAT

Hello, friends!  I am so happy to have you here reading my blog.  I'm feeling so much better.  Not completely there, but a dose of antibiotics did wonders for me.  My face is still a little swollen, but nothing like it was.  And the pain is much better.  I have another week on the medicine and I am sure I'll be fine by then.

Because I've been down and out for a week, I thought I'd just do a "this and that" post with some pictures I haven't shown you.

This was the view out of my sister's back door the Saturday I was visiting her.  Quite a difference from the view at home where I see high fences and houses.  I always feel as if I am in the country when I visit her, even though I'm not.  But it's the country compared to where I live.

This is a cute little saying Elaine has in the guest room (also known by me as "my room").  It is so pretty and the saying so sweet.

What I can see of the sunset these days since my neighbor grew a tree right next to my yard.  It's still pretty.  But I don't see much of the sky anymore.

Before I got sick I began cleaning the kitchen.  I got the counter by the stove finished.  And yes, that's a teddy bear sitting on the Keurig pod holder.  Doesn't everyone have a teddy in their kitchen?

And the counter the other side of the sink.  I don't have much counter space at all.  But then I have a small house.  This is all that fit.  Before the kitchen was redone I didn't have any counters at all!

Yesterday I started on my kitchen table but had to stop because I got too tired.  I am going to finish it today because it is almost done.  It's amazing how much junk accumulates on a flat surface.  Already it's looking so much better.

I love Boathouse Row day or night.  But here is a picture of it lit up for night.  For special times the lights are in different colors.  This is what it is most of the time.  These little boathouses are right on the Schuylkill River.  If you google Boathouse Row, you can see pictures of it during the day.

This is the pretty wreath I bought at the thrift store by Elaine's house that supports a no-kill animal shelter.  It cost me $1 and there is no way that covered the cost of this beauty.  It is gorgeous on my front door.  You can tell how short I am by the angle of this shot.  In my defense, I am standing one step below the door.

This afternoon is the Family Fun Day my church is sponsoring.  It is being held at Wissinoming Park and I am hoping to go for a short time.  I know I can't last the three hours they are having it, but I would like to at least show up and give them my support.  The Youth Nights they had the last three nights was a failure.  Not one person showed up.  So sad.

Well, I am back friends, and have some ideas for posts running around in my head.  Welcome to my new readers and I hope you come back.  I so enjoyed reading your comments.

Until later...
