A week of art and adventure…
I’ve been busy this week. I’m sorry I have neglected my blog. On Monday, my husband had hernia surgery. He’s fine. He’s recovered quickly, and is a fairly easy patient. I’m lucky, as I know many men turn into babies when they are ill. Dave is a trooper, and, though I’ve been helping him frequently, [...]
May 31st
May comes to a close and so much is going on today! Dave and I celebrate 15 years of married bliss today. We’re just going out for burgers tonight and tomorrow night we’re doing the fancy dinner. Tomorrow is also Dave’s birthday. Yes, he chose our wedding date! Said he’d never forget the date that [...]
Tuesday Update
Hi there! Thank you all so much for your kind emails and comments over the past week or so. I can’t tell you how much it all means to me! I’m pleased to say that I started to come back to life here in Phoenix on Saturday. Friday night I ate the second meal I [...]
Family, Boston, and Friends
I cannot believe how long it’s been since I was last on my blog! I’m so sorry that I’ve been neglecting the blog lately. It’s not that I’ve been ignoring my art, but more that I’ve become so wrapped up in it and family needs that I have had to put the blog aside for [...]
A gift received
I had a lovely Passover Seder with my Mother-in-Law, Father-in-Law, husband and dear friend, Angie. This was Angie’s first time at a Seder. I was so excited that she was joining us. We sort of made it a tradition in our home to have at least one non-Jewish person at a Seder each year. It [...]
Back on the mainland
I’m back on the mainland after a lovely 10 day Hawaiian vacation with my darling husband, Dave. We had such a relaxing time and Hawaii always puts us on the “aloha” mood. We spent five days on The Big Island in Kona and then 5 days on Kauai. Living in Phoenix, we have direct flights [...]
Sharing some photos
I love my MacBook! It has a built in camera and a program called, “Photo Booth” in which I can take photos of myself. Well, I don’t tend to take many photos of myself, but I did get my hair cut yesterday, so I thought I’d take a few shots of my new haircut. I [...]
Updates, fun, and a meme
I first want to thank everyone for their positive thoughts, healing energy, and prayers for my mother-in-law, Marlene. Her angiogram was completely clean! No blockages. She didn’t need angioplasty or a stent. It is wonderful news! Thanks to all for your fabulous support and well-wishes. Second, I found the memory card from the weekend with [...]
So many dear notes
Dear friends, Many of you have written concerned about my health. Thank you so much. I have often wondered what people could possibly think of me writing about my health struggles, but I’m usually not quite this public about them. However, I’m glad I have been. I think it’s important that people with chronic illness [...]
Tagged and more
I was tagged a while back, but I haven’t had a chance to do the meme. It’s below. First, I wanted to say thanks to everyone who has commented on the blog recently. I did not get a chance to do any art yesterday, since I was meeting my mother-in-law and father-in-law at a cardiologist’s [...]
